The mystery of the red heifer of Numbers 19 is that what makes you unclean makes you clean. In the same way Jesus became sin for us. It is in this way that our Lord identifies with us. He makes all things new by taking our sin upon Himself.
We identify with Jesus Christ in baptism. In these times of evil being called good and darkness being called light we must stop playing church and make a all too real choice.
Do we stand with Jesus Christ proclaiming that we are not ashamed of His gospel or do we cower to the enemy.
