Construction of the
tabernacle was completed. Given all the details we have read over the last few
days, I googled images for the tabernacle (my Bible doesn’t have any pictures at
the back).
This structure would house
God’s presence among His people…
How blessed we are, as
people of the New Testament, that God is not confined to one or any building but
that through faith in Jesus and the gift of God’s Holy Spirit. God is with each
and every one of us wherever we are. We have immediate access to God. We don’t
have to go to a certain location. We don’t have to wait until prescribed times
or ceremonies. We don’t have to connect with God through a human intermediary
called a priest. Because of the atoning work of Jesus and the indwelling
presence of the Holy Spirit, we have 24/7/365 access to
God!
Right now as I read God’s
Word, as I type my thoughts, as I pray… in a few minutes when I drive to a
meeting and when I sit in that meeting… I have access to the Lord God
Almighty!
What a gift, what a wonder…
my heart bursts..
Thank You,
Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit. Thank You. Bless You… Praise You. Alleluia.
Amen.
