Eaten by the ground: Numbers 15:17-16:40
Surely this man was the Son of God: Mark 15:1-47
Surely God is my help: Psalm 54:1-7
Trapped by evil desires: Proverbs 11:5-6
Wow! What a way to go! Can you imagine being swallowed up by the ground? This for a bunch of folks who already had a high status in the kingdom of Israel. They were Levites – the only ones allowed to handle the sacred objects for worship. Yet, they wanted to be as high up the chain as the high priest.
Yet, in Mark we have the very Son of God becoming the lowest. He who was most righteous allowed Himself to be treated with the worst treatment.
And the curtain in the temple was torn into! (Mark 15:38) When before, only the high priest could enter the most holy of places, and only once a year, now through Jesus we all have access to an intimate relationship with God!
