Nadab & Abihu

“Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered profane fire before the Lord, which He had not commanded them” (Leviticus 10:1).
Building a telescope is a little like building a cathedral,” said Roger Angel. “It takes time and patience.” He’s the professor of astronomy and optical sciences at the University of Arizona who engineered the complex system for creating the world’s largest telescope mirrors. It takes about four years to turn a raw chunk of glass into the perfect telescope mirror.

While the Hubble Telescope mirror measures just over seven-and-a- half feet, Angel is creating twenty-seven-foot mirrors. Plans are underway to create the Giant Magellan Telescope, which will have seven 27-foot mirrors and be located on a mountain in Chile. Images are expected to be ten times sharper than the Hubble can produce.

Moses patiently directed the work of building a temple. Then he consecrated Aaron and his sons for their priestly work in the sanctuary. They were to reflect God’s character in their conduct.

Though all the priests were carefully taught the details of their ministry, two of Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, sometime later carelessly offered “profane” fire before the Lord. They used coals taken from a common fire instead of from the altar of burnt offering, the sacred fire God had kindled.

The two priests disobeyed God’s instructions and were consumed by fire from the Lord. Apparently before entering the sanctuary, they had been drinking too much wine and could not “distinguish between holy and unholy” (Leviticus 10:10). Their unguarded behaviour distorted the pure image of God before the people.

Like carefully constructed telescope mirrors, each of us is to reflect the character of God. When we live haphazardly, we distort His image. “If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are” (1 Corinthians 3:17).

Daily Devotional 📖

Moses, Part 7

“So, when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him” (Exodus 34:30).

They called him the “Green Man” because his skin supposedly had a green glow. As a boy, he wanted to see into a bird’s nest. When he climbed an electric pole, he shocked himself and fell to the ground. Eventually he lost his eyes, nose, mouth, one ear, and one arm. The burns were said to have given his skin an almost glowing green colour. But most of the stories about “Charlie No Face” are legend.

Raymond Robinson did suffer a childhood accident that left his face severely disfigured. He did not like to appear in public since his abnormal looks caused panic. He lived with relatives and made doormats, wallets, and belts to sell. Because of his appearance, Ray often took walks at night along a road using a walking stick to feel his way. Over the years stories grew about him, most of which were not true. He died in 1985 at the age of seventy-four.

The Bible tells the story of a man whose face also caused great fear. After Moses spent forty days and forty nights with the Lord, the “skin of his face shone” (Exodus 34:29). People were afraid to come near him, not because he looked deformed, but because the brilliant glory of God reflected in Moses’ countenance.

Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). When we draw close to God and put away sin, His likeness becomes our own. We display His holiness in our lives. Just as a guilty person has a difficult time looking into the face of an honest person, so the one who lives in sin does not want to see God or His representatives.

Moses is a type of Christ. He veiled his face in the same way Jesus veiled His divinity when He became a man and walked among people. Someday we will behold the unveiled glory of God, face to face.

Daily Devotional 📖

Moses, Part 4

“So, Moses spoke thus to the children of Israel; but they did not heed Moses, because of anguish of spirit and cruel bondage” (Exodus 6:9).

The outfit was never intended to be worn by children. When Soviet cosmonauts returned from any extended time in space, they suffered from ill health. The lack of gravity caused their muscles to deteriorate. After returning to earth, they had difficulty standing up, stabilizing their gaze, and even walking. They often needed long-term rehabilitation to get back into shape.

That’s when Soviet scientists invented the “Penguin Suit.” This elastic outfit provided outside force against muscle and bone movement. Shoes, knee pads, shorts, and shoulder pads were all connected with elastic bands that created resistance for every move made. Eventually the technology for this therapy suit was shared with those who work in rehabilitation. Today, the special suit is used to treat children with physical disabilities resulting from cerebral palsy or other conditions caused by brain or spinal cord injury.

The Israelites needed something like a Penguin Suit. When Moses told Pharaoh to let God’s people go, the ruler made life miserable for his Hebrew slaves. He no longer provided them with straw for making bricks. They would have to find their own straw and still keep up their production. The brutal treatment tested the faith of Israel, who must have wondered if God could really deliver them.

Furthermore, Jacob’s children had become accustomed to life in Egypt. Many had married idol-worshipers and compromised their beliefs. Part of the multitude had no desire to leave Egypt. Their trust in the Lord was weak. Their faith muscles needed to be stretched and tested. In order to prepare for their departure, they must change from being Pharaoh’s servants to being God’s people.

In this powerful sermon, we reflect on the significance of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and how, through His death, we are crucified with Him. Just as the thief beside Jesus experienced a life-changing conversion in his final moments, we are reminded that true conversion can happen at any time—no matter where we are in life. However, it must be genuine, a heartfelt surrender to Christ. Join us as we explore the depths of His love and the hope of redemption available to all who truly believe.

Daily Devotional 📖

Aaron, Part 3

“So, the Lord plagued the people because of what they did with the calf which Aaron made” (Exodus 32:35).

The no-fault divorce was first introduced in the United States in 1969 as a way to dissolve a marriage without any requirement to show wrongdoing by either spouse. Such laws have been hotly debated. Some argued that domestic violence rates fell in states with this law. Others pointed out that such a law rewarded wrongdoers and often negatively impacted children. No matter how you deal with a broken marriage, it is painful and messy.

Aaron made a giant mess. While Moses was meeting with the Lord on Mount Sinai, the people became impatient. Their visible leader had been gone for forty days. So they approached the high priest and pressured him to fashion a golden calf to represent their god.

Unfortunately, their spiritual leader caved under their pressure. Not only did Aaron fashion a golden calf—this was after God had spoken the Ten Commandments to them, including the one about not making idols— but the brother of Moses declared that they would have a “feast to the Lord” (Exodus 32:5). To the multitude comprised of both Egyptians and Israelites accustomed to Egyptian idolatry practices, this meant nothing short of a wild party.

Sure enough, things got out of hand with gluttonous eating, drinking, and immoral behaviour. The event was so loud that Joshua told Moses he thought there was war in the camp. Moses knew otherwise, and when he came down the mountain carrying the tables of stone on which God had written, he threw them down and broke them.

Aaron tried to plead not guilty but eventually confessed his sin and was spared. But, like a dissolved marriage, people got hurt. When sin enters the camp, there are always painful consequences.

Lord Jesus, forgive me for the times I have given in to sin and not taken responsibility to do right.

Daily Devotional 📖

Miriam, Part 2

“Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper” (Numbers 12:10).

Envy is one of the most destructive and deadly sins. It first appeared, not on our fallen earth, but in heaven. While the devil became envious of God’s position and authority, Miriam and Aaron became envious of their brother’s position and authority. Moses had married a woman of a different nation with a different background and darker skin. She made a perfect target for Moses’ siblings, who seemed to have caught the complaining spirit that was ravaging the camp. “Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married” (Numbers 12:1).

Next, they attacked the authority of Moses. “So they said, ‘Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also?’ ” (verse 2). The Bible says that the man they were dishonouring was the most humble man on earth. But God had appointed Moses, despite Moses’ vigorous protests, to lead the nation of Israel. Thankfully, God overheard the disgruntled conversation. “Suddenly the Lord said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, ‘Come out, you three, to the tabernacle of meeting!’ ” (verse 4).

Miriam must have been appalled in that instant, realizing that the Lord had observed their lack of loyalty to Moses and to Him. At the tabernacle, God explained that, although they were prophets, they had never seen God face to face as Moses had. Their brother, although younger, had greater authority and deserved their respect.

God then struck Miriam with leprosy, and Scripture records that she was “as white as snow” (Numbers 12:10). Aaron, stunned by his sister’s punishment, begged Moses to intercede. Moses immediately asked God to heal her.

Miriam spent the next seven days banished from the camp, but she did recover, and with a brand-new attitude.

Dear Lord, forgive us for any complaining spirit within us, and replace our murmurings with gratitude.

When life feels like "business unusual," there’s only one person you can turn to for guidance and direction — God. 🙏 Today, Elder Johnny Wong delivered a powerful and insightful message at Mt Gravatt Church, sharing a practical approach to discovering and embracing God’s calling in your life.

Pastor Johnny outlined the 3 P’s of finding your purpose:

- People – Nehemiah knew exactly who he wanted to help and had a deep understanding of the community he was called to serve.
- Prayer – He prayed earnestly for guidance and the strength to fulfill God’s mission.
- Personal Involvement – Nehemiah didn’t just stay distant; he was personally involved in the work, leading by example and committing himself to the cause.
