Charles Spurgeon Commentary Numbers 9:13

"But the man that is clean, and is not on a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people; because he offered not the oblation of Jehovah in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin." — Numbers 9:13 (ASV)

What a solemn sentence that is! Let me read it apart from its connection: Because he did not bring the offering of the Lord in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin. You see, the great offering of the Lord, the atoning sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ, is the only way by which sin can be put away; and if any man will not bring that, in other words, if he will not believe in Jesus, then here is his certain doom, that man shall bear his sin. No more terrible judgment can be pronounced upon any one of us than this, that man shall bear his sin. If you do not believe that I am he, said Christ, you shall die in your sins.
