Moses’ sin of striking the rock instead of speaking to it, as commanded by God, is recorded in Numbers 20:7-12. The Israelites were in the wilderness, facing severe thirst, and they complained bitterly. God instructed Moses to speak to the rock at Meribah, promising it would yield water. However, in frustration, Moses struck the rock twice with his staff, saying, “Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?” (Numbers 20:10, KJV). Though water did flow, God rebuked Moses and Aaron for their lack of faith and failure to sanctify Him before the people.

The Gospel of Mark stands out as a fast-moving, action-packed account of Jesus’ ministry, portraying Him as the Servant of God who came to serve and give His life for others. Unlike the other Gospels, Mark skips over Jesus’ birth and early life, diving straight into His public ministry, which reflects its emphasis on what Jesus did more than what He said.

It is a reflective and instructional psalm by King David that explores the themes of forgiveness, repentance, and divine guidance. It begins with a proclamation of the blessings that come from having one’s sins forgiven by God and emphasizes the relief and joy experienced after confessing wrongdoing. David recounts his personal struggle when he kept silent about his sins, which caused deep emotional and physical suffering. Once he confessed, he felt the weight lifted and experienced God’s forgiveness.

Jesus teaches the importance of being spiritually prepared for His second coming. He compares it to the days of Noah and Lot, when people were caught off guard by sudden judgment because they were absorbed in their daily lives.
