Phinehas, Aaron's Grandson
The Bible contains numerous "R-rated" stories-passages that would not be good bedtime stories for children. Why does God include these shocking details in His Holy Word? Phinehas in Numbers 25 provides a good example of this. Through this jarring passage, God intends to teach His people about His holiness and the sinfulness of sin. In this lesson, Dr. Thomas teaches us the message God has for His people and the lessons we should learn from Israel and Phinehas.
