Cities of Refuge: God’s Provision and Our Redemption
Cities of Refuge: God’s Provision and Our Redemption
Preacher: Apostle Asia Robert-Francis
Church: Corner Stone Deliverance Church Date: March 31, 2024 Resurrection Sunday
Description: In this powerful sermon, Apostle Asia Robert-Francis takes us on a journey through Numbers 35, a seemingly legalistic chapter that unveils profound spiritual truths. Drawing from the ancient concept of cities of refuge, she reveals God's heart for justice, His unwavering mercy, and the ultimate sacrifice that points to our redemption.
- The Cities of Refuge: A Place of Safety
- Apostle Asia emphasizes how God's provision extends beyond physical safety. Just as the cities of refuge provided sanctuary for those who unintentionally caused harm, Jesus Christ offers us spiritual refuge. In Him, we find safety from sin's consequences and the wrath of God.
- Through the lens of Numbers 35, Apostle Asia explores the importance of multiple witnesses in legal matters. No one could be put to death based on the testimony of a single witness. She challenges us to be slow to judge and quick to extend grace, recognizing the value of human life.
- The shedding of blood defiles the land, whether accidental or intentional. Apostle Asia draws parallels to Cain's act of intentional murder and God's provision for purification. Jesus' blood speaks louder than Abel's blood—it cleanses us from sin, guilt, and shame.
- Apostle Asia confronts the congregation with the reality of character assassination. Our words and actions can harm reputations and tarnish names. She calls for repentance and reconciliation, reminding us of Jesus' innocent sacrifice.
- The crucifixion was no accident; Jesus willingly laid down His life. He took on our sins, guilt, and shame. Despite Pilate's authority, Jesus declared that no one could take His life; He laid it down willingly. His blood speaks of redemption and forgiveness.
Conclusion: As we partake in communion, let us remember the blood that speaks better things, the blood of Jesus, our eternal City of Refuge. May His love and sovereignty continue to shape our lives, and may we extend mercy to others as we embrace the cross.
Join Apostle Asia Robert-Francis in this transformative exploration of Numbers 35, and discover how God's provision intersects with our redemption.
