Numbers 9:13. But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
What a solemn sentence that is! Let me read it apart from its connection: "Because he brought not the offering of the Lord in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin." You see, the great offering of the Lord, the atoning sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ, is the only way by which sin can be put away; and if any man will not bring that, in other words, if he will not believe in Jesus, then here is his certain doom, "that man shall bear his sin." No more terrible judgment can be pronounced upon any one of us than this, "that man shall bear his sin." "If ye believe not that I am he," said Christ, "ye shall die in your sins."
