Shad Sluiter - "Cold. That’s how it feels to stand outside of a soggy stadium late at night. It’s cold waiting for a ride when your team has just lost the third game of the season. It feels even colder when your ride is late and all your friends have gone home. It feels especially cold when you find out you’ve just missed out on something really great..."
Memory Verse: Psalm 89:7 Memory Verse Text: God is greatly to be feared.
Point 1: Aaron's sons, Nadab and Abihu, were very privileged. Leviticus 10:8-11 shows us that Aaron should have taught his sons God's standards and rules, but he failed to convey His great truths. What a tremendous cost for failing to teach them... the death of his two sons! Point 2: Application: A person cannot come before the Lord any way they want. God is not like any other; He is altogether Holy and He deserves our total respect. God is not a man. Point 3: Note that God did not give any warning of what He was going to do, and as a result, disaster not only came with finality, it came suddenly. God has taken great care to reveal His Character to us in His Word. Point 4: Nadab and Abihu's bodies were no longer fit to be within the camp, so they were carried out. God said that there was to be no mourning for them; mourning would have shown tolerance and sympathy for the sinner who had so grossly offended God by not giving Him the due reverence and respect.
Notes: Our attitudes, thoughts, words, and actions should all be pleasing to God. Discuss how we can make a difference by communing with God in His Presence, listening to His Word, and praying.
