Numbers 16:22 Then they fell on their faces, and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and You be angry with all the congregation?”
Aaron and Moses were very afraid when God said that He would consume the whole congregation in a moment; God is all powerful!
They understood just how powerful God really is and they knew that when God warned them in this way that they had to take it very seriously.
And yet they still pleaded on behalf of all the people…
How often do you plead on behalf of people who are working against God? How often do you call on God to give sinners one more chance?
