Teach me that I may teach....

Great s God that from the very beginning gave His people teachers and life's examples of how He wants us not to just exist but to really live. He gave the Israelites the Levites to teach them about sanctifying and blessing. (Numbers 8:6-20) This was to show His people how to separate themselves from what displeases God. And yet He knew there is humanness to be self-righteous, surely, as well as out-and-out rivalry between those sects trying to overtake leadership as teachers and spiritual leaders. (Number 16) instead of humbly following the task that God gave them. Sound familiar? These priests were also to be put to death if they peeked in the Holiest of Holies which was only intended for the High Priest and God.(Numbers 4:19, 28) God specifies who He wants as a Levite (Numbers 3:17) much as all of His children have been given a specific task in the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12).
