Numbers Fifteen - Pilgrims Strangers


"And if a stranger dwells with you, or whoever is among you throughout your generations, and would present an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord, just as you do, so shall he do. One ordinance shall be for you of the assembly and for the stranger who dwells with you, an ordinance forever throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord. One law and one custom shall be for you and for the stranger who dwells with you," Numbers 15:14-16, NKJV. #PilgrimsStrangers
The original word for 'stranger' is often translated as 'pilgrim' or 'sojourner' in some versions of the scriptures; while these are those who could not participate in the full benefits shared by the people of ancient Israel, but yet lived among them, now Jesus Christ has called all to follow Him and be an example for those who are outside and don't believe.
Psalm 146:8-9, 1 Peter 1:1-2 and 3 John 1:5-8.
