Consecrated for Service: The Altar of Incense & The Death of John the Baptist (Day 52 / Feb 21)

What does it mean to be truly set apart for God’s work? Today, we look at the sacred rituals for ordaining the priesthood and the construction of the Altar of Incense. In the New Testament, Jesus sends the Twelve out with authority, but we also witness the sobering earthly cost of speaking the truth in the account of John the Baptist.Today’s Scripture:📖 Exodus 29–30 – The "consecration" of Aaron and his sons, the daily offerings, and the design of the Altar of Incense and the Bronze Basin.📖 Mark 6:7–29 – Jesus sends the disciples out two-by-two, followed by the tragic story of Herod, Herodias, and the martyrdom of John the Baptist.📖 Proverbs 5:15–23 – A poetic call to faithfulness and finding satisfaction in the "wife of your youth."RESOURCES & READ-ALONG📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYKi8-_5xHGL_nFAZOthHtZhcb4CqW4ZF📖 Follow the Text (LEB): https://biblia.com/books/leb/🗓️ Download the Full Plan: https://www.biblica.com/resources/reading-plans/CONNECT & SUPPORT📧 Questions?
