Nicodemus came to Jesus at night to “talk Torah,” the way all Pharisees did. But his talk with Jesus challenged everything he believed. He came as a ruler of the Jews, but when he met “the King of the Jews,” he leaned in to listen to a new way of thinking and believing.

It was the happiest of occasions that was about to turn sour. Jesus, His mother, and new disciples were at a family wedding, and they had run out of wine (a huge social faux pas). “Jesus, do something!” Mary asked. And what Jesus did began a pattern of ministry that affirmed and demonstrated His purpose in coming to earth—to seek and save the lost. Come witness the delight of Jesus, Messiah, among His people.

When Jesus first began His public ministry, what did people say about Him?

The Gospel of John takes us back to the beginning—before there was a universe. Even then, Jesus was there. In this unique Gospel, we witness how Jesus “dwelled with us”—literally, how He pitched His tent among us. It’s true that no one can see God the Father, but when we look at His Son, we understand who God is. But He had to become one of us to bring God to where we are.

In the last six chapters of Numbers, we will cover Israel’s victory over Midian, laws regarding land ownership, and a log of Israel’s 40 years of wilderness wandering. Dr. McGee points out that God recorded their wandering to show He was still with them.

God wants us to find joy in Him. In Numbers 28, 29, and 30, the laws for offerings and sacrifices are outlined once again. We learn that every holy holiday, season, and feast is intended to be a joyous occasion. All except one: The Day of Atonement was the only day of mourning for the children of Israel. Dr. McGee encourages us to find wonderful, unlimited joy in Christ in every detail of these passages.

The children of Israel have traveled a long way with Moses as their meek, steady leader. Sadly, Moses prepares for death as his people get ready to enter the Promised Land. In preparation for his death, Moses is instructed by God to appoint one of his servants as Israel’s new leader—Joshua. Dr. McGee encourages us that God uses ordinary people—those who obey Him in the mundane—to do great things for Him.
