Morning Light - Numbers 35

[Today: Numbers 35] Cities of Refuge. In this chapter, God instructs Moses to establish cities of refuge where suspected man slayers could find protection from the avenger of blood. How does this translate to a New Testament application for the believer? We are all guilty of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. The city of refuge is a type of kingdom culture as God would have it – a community of believers without accusation or judgment toward one another, extending the mercy of God to the undeserving because we are equally unworthy of the mercy God has so freely given to us.
