self-sacrifice

Chukas

We see in this parsha that Moshe hit the rock instead of talking to it and therefore expired his Israeli visa. The reason Moshe hit (and did not speak) to the rock was because of his self sacrifice for his people. If he wouldv'e spoken to the rock which then would have given water, it would've made the Jews look bad, because if an inanimate rock does the will of G-d just by talking to it, surely his kids, alive and well should do so. By hitting it, Moshe as it were lessened the blame for his people. Thats what a leader is and has to go thru!

We see the same by Yona and the whale, he didnt want to go because he knew it would make his people look negative, the nations are fixing themselves but what about G-d chosen ones?
However G-d wanted it otherwise, to deliver the message, and being a soldier he went.

Be good, stay good make others good and good times always!
