DEEP CRISIS

We all know how couples, churches and even countries can get deeply divided and polarised. Both sides have their stories. And often it takes two to tango. The first victim in a conflict is often the truth. Is there a way out? When Moses looked back at the journey of Israel through the desert, the most important story he wants to tell about that time, is the story about Korah’s deceptive rebellion against Moses and Aaron. For later generations he recorded the story, so that they might be equipped to recognise, to respond to and to remind themselves of what caused one of the deepest crises in Israel’s history.
