The way to solve the problem of Exodus (89)
(Exodus 30:17-21)
< Water well >
The first thing you see when you pass through the east gate of the tabernacle is the altar of burnt offering. After the sacrifices have been burned on the altar of burnt offering, the next thing they go through is the laver. If you enter the sanctuary without washing your hands and feet in this laver, you will die (verses 19-21). To get closer to God, you must pass through the altar of burnt offering, but you must also pass through the laver.
The altar of burnt offering symbolizes repentance as the burning of sins. Even though sins were burned on the altar of burnt offering, they can become defiled again by sin in life. In order to purify that defiled life, before entering the sanctuary, one must pass through the laver, which is the device after the altar of burnt offering. After all, this laver principle is usually understood to teach the doctrine of sanctification.
What is the laver made of? It was made of bronze (verse 18), especially the bronze mirrors of the women who served in the tent of meeting (Ex. 38:8). Look at the dedication of these women. In terms of price, it is not a huge value, but for women, a mirror is simply an invaluable possession. It is like the devotion of two leptons of a widow.
Why could women give their precious brass mirrors? Because he loved God. If you love God, you can make such an amazing devotion. Bethany's three children, Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, served Jesus to their utmost every time Jesus visited their home. Even Mary broke the alabaster jar containing the perfume for one year's wages, which she had saved for the wedding, and offered all the perfume to Jesus.
How could you do that? Because he loved Jesus. And it was because the grace and comfort of the words I received from Jesus were extraordinary. If you truly love Jesus like that, if you have a grateful heart for the grace you have received, your loyalty and devotion, which are more precious than gold, will appear. And they will silently and willingly empty their pockets in the direction God's will dictates, and they will smile in the shadows as they watch their holy visions come true through their dedication.

What is the size of the laver? The only laver among the film forming apparatuses is not mentioned in terms of size and scale. It can be said that it symbolizes God's infinite forgiveness by indicating that there is no limit to the size of the laver and the amount of water. In fact, while looking at the laver, the priests at that time felt the importance of holiness and God's infinite forgiveness at the same time.
One day, Peter asked the Lord about forgiveness. “Shall I forgive you up to seven times?” Then the Lord answered. “Do it seven out of seventy times!” The heart contained in this answer is the heart of Heavenly Father. Think of God's forgiveness while thinking of the great laver in your heart, and become a person who practices forgiveness like Heavenly Father. In fact, the greatest sanctification is the sanctification of forgiveness. The greatest of habits is to personify and habituate forgiveness. The greatest freedom a person enjoys is the freedom that comes from forgiveness.
The theological meaning of forgiveness is ‘letting go’. No matter what happens to someone, believe in God's new work and let him go. If you try to take revenge on yourself, you may end up even worse than the enemy. If you fight with an ugly person, you become an ugly person together. So get out of the bad way with forgiveness.
Forgiveness is always an act of choosing over emotions. Forgiveness should have no place for emotions. It is said that a person is slow to anger (Proverbs 19:11). It is the glory of God to forgive one's transgressions, and it is also a glory for himself. The Bible is a book full of anecdotes about the blessings of those who forgave those who harmed them.
It is difficult to believe because it is a 'work of forgiveness', not a 'work of revenge'. Christianity is not a religion that pays for an eye for an eye, and this is not a religion that pays back teeth. Christianity is a religion of love and forgiveness. Do you want something to be resolved? Then remember the person you didn't forgive and forgive him. Then you will experience the history of solving the problems you have been worrying about. Forgiveness not only solves human relationships, but it also has the mysterious power to solve difficult problems. God will see forgiveness and unlock the lock that closes the door of grace.
