If we had to do all these things to be restored with God, maybe we'd take our sin more seriously. I know I would. I know being a Christian is not easy...but when I look at all these things that the Israelites had to do, I just feel like having Jesus bridge the gap is so easy. But do I take it as seriously as I should??
Yeesh! Back then, worshipping God was practically a full time job. Hmmm... too bad we don't think like that today, huh?
