day no. 14,556: an enemy and an entrance

Numbers 19
The wages of sin is death. The day that Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, death entered into the human race. Death in the inward man and death working on the man himself. We see here in Numbers 19 that coming into contact with death can make even a priest temporarily unclean. Jesus is our great High Priest who tasted death so that we can live forever. He came into contact with death, but was not changed by it. Instead, He changed death because it had no power over Him. His resurrection changed death and our relationship with it. It is still an enemy, but it is also in Him an entrance into eternal life.
