WORD
EXODUS 25:8-9
8
Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. 9According to all that I am going to show you, as
the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture, just so you shall construct it.
THE TABERNACLE
The Tabernacle has an estimated value of P66 million
per square meter. God is worthy of our most precious
possessions, deserving the best. But if you do not
know God, you will never understand and care to give
your time, tithes or energy to be able to meet God
intimately.
As slaves, the Israelites could not have afforded the
materials needed to build the Tabernacle. But before
WORD (contd)
The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). We cannot
pay by good works. Blood must be shed (Heb. 9:22),
but bulls and goats cannot really take away our sins
(Hebrews 10:4). The sacrifices in the Tabernacle were
a foreshadowing of Jesus, the perfect sacrifice who
takes away the sin of the world once and for all (John
1:29, Hebrews 10: 4, 9-10). Nothing can save us but
His blood (1 Peter 1:18-19).
The Laver (Basin) - Here the priest washed hands
and feet before entering the Holy Place. Even if we are
already saved by Jesus, positional sanctification, God
is still concerned about our life after we come to
Christ, practical sanctification. Jesus transforms us.
By His grace, he will give us a new heart to make us
progressively growing in the Lord.
