In Today's News , Holy Cow! 1 Million Dollars for one special red cow!
Num 19:1-2
Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, "This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded, saying, "Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you an unblemished red heifer in which is no defect and on which a yoke has never been placed. NASU
It is amazing to me the value that we place on things in this society. This was in the news this morning. Just think 1 million dollars for one cow. We have run amok in this society. Just think of how many hungry children that much money could feed. The question I would ask after purchasing 1 cow, for 1 million dollars, is “where’s the beef.”
There is a special red cow that would be hot on the market in these times, and it is a pure Red Heifer. The ashes of a Red Heifer is a necessary prerequisite for participating in any Temple service, efforts have been made in modern times by Jews wanting to rebuild the Temple to locate a red heifer and recreate the ritual. Most recently, a cow that was considered a potential candidate was disqualified because it sprouted several black hairs.
The fact is that we already have the perfect sacrifice, to take the stench and penalty of death from us. Jesus, and He gave His life for us, outside the camp. In Hebrews 13:12,13, the phrases "without the camp" and "without the gate" show us not only an identification of Jesus with the Red Heifer, but an indication as to the location of the crucifixtion. Now if we can only place the right value upon the life that He gave for us and give Him our lives in return…God Bless.
