The Stoning of a Sabbath Breaker

Numbers 15
32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.
35 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.
36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.

This is one of those passages that you could meditate on....for a month. Compare to the smoting of Uzza (1 Chronicles 13).

The lessons here? Consider God's will. Take the sabbath seriously. Take God seriously. Passages like this....force you to think about God, his nature, his will, what he truely wants from you. And then you give some thought to Jesus......
