Nadab and Abihu

The things recorded in these twenty verses of Inspiration teach us that the only way sinners can come to, worship, and be accepted with God is by faith in his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
• Nadab and Abihu were sons of Aaron, God's high priest.
• They had been ceremonially consecrated as priests unto the Lord (Leviticus 8-9).
• They had seen Moses and Aaron go together into the holy place.
• Nadab and Abihu were among those upon whom Moses and Aaron had pronounced God's blessing.
• They had seen the visible symbol of the glory of the Lord in the fire that consumed the sacrifice.
• Then, the next day, Nadab and Abihu were consumed by the fire of God's wrath in the court of the Lord's house, as they carried out their priestly functions, leading Israel in worship. — That is how Leviticus chapter ten begins.
