Numbers 15:30-41
“‘But anyone who sins defiantly, whether native-born or foreigner, blasphemes the Lord and must be cut off from the people of Israel. Because they have despised the Lord’s word and broken his commands, they must surely be cut off; their guilt remains on them.
Throughout the generation to come you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments, with a blue cord on each tassel. Then you will remember to obey all my commands and will be consecrated to your God. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God.
The seriousness of sabbath-breaking. It was not just the man’s disobedience but his arrogance which put him outside the community of God’s covenant people.
The border of tassels is to remind forgetful Israel of God and his commands.
Why?
God is holy, not one can blasphemes the Lord without punishment. The sinner have to be put to die.
God knew that Israel will forget his word so ordered them must make tassels on the corners of their garment to remind them to obey the word of the Lord.
Obey the word of the Lord is an personal experiences, when we tested the sweet of the mercy of the Lord then we will keep obey his command for their is not one like my God.
How?
He is my God and brought me out of dark to the light and from the sinner to be a child before the Lord!
