Year 4, Day 132: Numbers 17

Theological Commentary: Click Here 


Discipleship Focus: King

  • King: This is the pinnacle of the Kingdom Triangle.  When we look towards God’s position in the universe, we acknowledge that He is an omnipotent king.  Authority comes from Him.  Power comes through His authority.  He is looking for representatives for His kingdom.

In Numbers 17, we hear about Aaron’s staff budding and bearing fruit.  In my theological commentary, I talk about the preposterous nature of this story and how seeing this story as outside the physical laws of the universe actually points us to God and enhances our belief in Him.  This brings us to the idea of God being King of the universe.

God created the universe, not the other way around.  God came before the universe; the universe did not come before Him.  God established the physical laws of the universe; the physical laws of the universe did not bind God.

He is God.  God can make a staff bud and bear fruit.  God can part water.  God can walk on water.  God can bring new life to those who have died.  He is God.  He is King.  He gives authority and power unlike anyone else.
