Numbers 22 – Balaam’s Donkey

Join Pastor Peter as we continue our study through the book of Numbers. For the ancient person, it would be stories like this, the more mythic and symbolic, that would be the most edifying for them. Whereas the modern person is mainly put off from the strangeness of this story and gets hung up on the literal nature of this story, IE, did Balaam’s donkey literally speak to him or not. Balaam, like Jonah, was not punished for being faithful, but for being faithless. Christ is the faithful prophet who humbled Himself to the point of the cross. He allowed the voice of conscience and humility to guide Him to the full and complete knowledge of God’s will in His life, but He also had the ambition to live into that call, even though it cost Him His life. What does God’s word have to say?
