Tuesday 11 June Leviticus 10.1-20 Qn2

 ‘Among those who are near me I will be sanctified, and before all the people I will be glorified (3): Nadab and Abihu were priests, who carelessly brought unauthorized fire on the altar and they ended up dying (2). They were punished by God for their carelessness. Remember, every time those who appear before God serving him should be careful and must protect themselves from the unclean (2Tim. 2.19). “Drink no wine or strong drink, you or your sons with you, when you go into the tent of meeting, (9): May be the carelessness of Abihu and Nadab resulted from getting drunk and forgetting the requirements of their work. Warning: We have the same commandment reminding us not to get drunk with wine, but instead to be filled with the Spirit. “And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit.” (Eph. 5:18) Song 83 (Salvation)
