More Than A Second Chance

More Than A Second Chance

Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; that is why she loved so much. But the one who is forgiven little loves little.” – LUKE 7:47

I often wondered why Aaron wasn’t punished for making the Golden Calf. Three thousand people died due to Him deciding to make the calf. He was Moses’ right-hand man. When Moses was doubtful, God gave him Aaron. Aaron was called to be a priest, yet we find Him breaking the first commandment as it was being written.

Aaron was in a place where God could smite him. Yet, he was forgiven and allowed to enter His purpose as Priest for Israel. How was that possible? Did God simply overlook the matter, was He favored above others?

I never thought much about Aaron’s heart towards God. All I saw was a man who didn’t see the wrath of God, who should have seen it. I never thought about God’s heart/character in this situation. God chose to be merciful to Aaron.

My thought was Aaron should have been disqualified from being a priest. That was my fleshy thinking.

“You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume. Therefore I tell you, because her many sins have been forgiven, she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.” Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”… – Luke 7:46-48.

Aaron was called to make atonement for the sins of the people of Israel before the Lord each year. That means he stood in place as an intercessor. He was called to stand before God on behalf of the people and make atonement. I never thought about what his mindset could be.

What was the state of his heart? Aaron knew firsthand what it meant to sin; he knew what it meant to rebel because he built the Golden Calf. He engineered it. He led God’s people into sin, and he watched many of them die. But now stands before God as one receiving grace.

He knows the fullness of his sinful heart and the fullness of God’s love, grace and mercy. How much more qualified does he stand to represent the people?

Because Aaron was deeply involved in the rebellion, he could not experience Moses’ feelings of anger and frustration, similar to when Moses cried “Drink ye rebels” as he smote the rock.

Because Aaron was a part of it, he would always have the heart to say God have mercy on your people and forgive us of our sins.

He would not lose heart or become frustrated as the one who stands in place of God’s people because he was forgiven much.

Introduction to Our God

And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. John 17:3 Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits. Daniel 11:32

Many of us go to a religious institution, whether it is a church, a temple or the mountains. The two scriptures above relates not to an exercise, or learning about GOD, but a KNOWING. I’ve been saved for about 17 years, with the aspiration of being a pastor. The other day Holy Spirit, spoke to my heart and communicated this to me. You have everything in Christ in God settle down, there is no goal to reach. Be still and know I am God. He was saying get to know me. As I’m writing this its early morning I don’t have a message to prepare, however I’m getting to know God at His pace. It is in the process of knowing and growing in intimacy exploits and activity will come.

Holy Spirit opened my eyes. In the Old Testament Old covenant, we see men called by God and anointed by God. It was am immediate call they heard God’s voice today; they were preaching to the people tomorrow. The New Testament the New Covenant is based on better promises in Christ Jesus. It’s a more intimate personal covenant, were Jesus spent three years with the disciples, told them to wait on the power of the Holy Spirit. It was about another three years before Gentiles were brought to the fold. It was all a timely process of relationship. The new covenant is based on Forgiveness of sins to know Jesus and the Father to become like Jesus. That’s life process.

This leads me to GOD. Who is the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and of course Jesus and all of Us? The deeper begins.
