Title: Tabernacle Built in the Wilderness
tabernacle in the wilderness
There are many people who think, "If we can start over with our lives as practice," as we go through our lives. I wish I could be reborn again. But life is not like that. This is because every day is a real game, not a life of practicing. Life is living an irreversible life every day.
But even though it is a life without practice, there is a life in which you can live your life again. It is the life of faith in Jesus. A life that does not believe in Jesus can never be restored, but a life that believes in Jesus can begin again. No matter how bad our past lives are, the blessings that enable us to start anew in our lives are those who believe in Jesus. The Bible says, "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away and the new has come" (2 Corinthians 5:17). A life like that where you can erase everything from the past and paint a new campus is the life of believing in Jesus. Even if it is wrong, the God who works it all together for good is what sets us off on a completely new life.
But what does this tabernacle mean? It is the presence of God. It is saying that God is with them. And through this tabernacle, the history of the Israelites' repentance, the forgiveness of sins, and the history of restoration appear. And we offer the restored blessing to God in thanksgiving. This was the ceremony in the tabernacle. The tabernacle was a place to meet God and a medium to meet God. So the tabernacle of this Old Testament was Jesus Christ. In order to meet God, we must go through Jesus. We are to meet God through the name of Jesus.
This is the mediator, the channel, and the only way to God (John 14:6). Jesus is the only way we can meet God. In the name of Jesus we enter the sanctuary. We are forgiven of our sins because of Jesus. The tabernacle of the Old Testament is Jesus Christ. And the place where the Israelites repent, give thanks, and recover through the tabernacle, and then offer sacrifices to God will soon become the church today. God gave us the church to renew us every day through the church.
We live in this unfit and wilderness world, and it is because of the Church that we can live the most successful and victorious life. If there is no church, we can never win. We can meet the Lord through the church. Restoration comes through the church. Through the church, you can offer an offering of thanks to God. The hall of blessing is the church. So, you have to come to church, meet Jesus Christ, and meet God. At this time, you will be refreshed and receive power.
But the amazing thing is that we who believe in Jesus are the temple. The tabernacle developed and became a temple. on the road in the wilderness
In the land of Canaan, where the Israelites settled, Mak was turned into a splendid temple. God's presence was in the Most Holy of the temple. The temple where the people of Israel were forgiven of their sins and gained strength and went out into the world to live victoriously, the temple where God promised that if they prayed toward the temple wherever they went abroad, the temple where the veil was sealed when Jesus died on the cross. He said that the heart of the saint who was torn and given the privilege of entering the Most Holy in the name of Jesus, which only the high priest could enter, is the temple of God. “Do you not know that your body is the temple of God?” Paul called our body a holy temple. It is because we are receiving the Lord, and because the Spirit of God dwells in us. This temple must be clean.
No matter how difficult life is, there are things a Christian should do and there are things that Christians shouldn't do. No matter how well you make money, you should not do it unless God is pleased with it. You must be prepared to starve and have the faith to reject it. At this time, the history of the parting of the Red Sea, the history of bitter water turning into sweet water, the falling of manna, the bursting of living water, and the experience of God's miracles.
Furthermore, the church is not just a building or an organization, but only a community of saints. And the saints are the body and members of the Lord who is the head (1 Corinthians 12:27). In this way, because I am the body of God and the body of Christ, what I do must be holy. In other words, there is God's work when I say that I will not do the work without giving a bribe rather than giving a bribe to get the work done.
Everyone! I hope that you will receive God's blessings when you educate your children and give them to your children by living honestly and without shame in the body of God's temple. We must live differently from the rest of the world. Through the tabernacle that God had given the people of Israel, the word of God was witnessed, and there they were cleansed, and there a sacrifice of thanks was offered.
Today too, depending on whether we are a people who stand clearly in the position of saints before the God who has given us the church and live while discerning the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God, whether or not we can experience the blessings, miracles and power of God's people for the rest of our lives. that depends. I pray in the name of the Lord that all of our members will really meet the Lord every day and week through the church, meet God, be restored and refreshed from God, and always give thanks before God, not missing any of God's prepared blessings, and receiving abundantly in the name of the Lord. .
