INTRODUCTION
- "Who serve that which is a copy
and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses is
warned of God when he is about to make the tabernacle:
for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according
to the pattern that was showed thee in the mount.(Heb.
8:5; Exodus 25:31-40).
- We understand the importance of accuracy
in everything we do.
- Medicine
- Buildings.....Bridge in MI.
- Why not also in
religion?
- Somehow in religion the
world thinks it can do as it pleases.
D. WHAT IS OUR PATTERN?
Answer at the end.
NADAB AND ABIHU
- God's instruction concerning the source of
fire, etc (Lev. 10:1-7).
- What they did.
- The results
D. They were not careful - to do according
to the pattern ...God's instructions
The Tabernacle, v. 5
- The Absolute care that Moses exercised in
its building.
- Not just the outside features (L x
W x H=)
- But also the way it was set up for
worship.
B. LOOK AT THE TABERNACLE:
- The sacrifice that was made before the
tabernacle (out front, outside)
- THE LAVER for washing before entering.
- You enter and on the LEFT - the candle
sticks = the source of light. (God given).
- In the center - next to the veil - the
altar of incense
- On the right side "Table of Shew
Bread" = Bread of the Presence. God was with them
and gave live fed them in the wilderness.
IMPORTANCE FOR US
A. GO OVER IT AGAIN QUICKLY.
- JESUS Christ - The
sacrifice....carried out of Jerusalem and became
the "forever sacrifice."
- Washing before entrance - not the
removing of the filth of the flesh (I Pet. 3:21)
but to obey God.
- Our source of God given light =
the bible. Without it men walk in darkness -
stumble and fall. Or we can "Again
therefor Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the
light of the world: he that followeth me shall
not walk in the darkness, but shall have the
light of life."(John 8:12).
- The offering of our prayers and
worship to God.
- Lord's Supper. Presence -
communion with Christ in the life that He gives; "Except
ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his
blood, ye have not life in yourselves" (John
6:53).
- AGAIN THE IMPORTANCE OF ACCURACY!
Accuracy Essential
Because...
- Making a New Covenant: (READ -
VS. 7 - 12). (Jeremiah 31:31ff).
- WHAT IS A COVENANT? "An agreement or
binding" (How it become a Testament or Will).
- See importance between man and
man...
- Consider this is between God and
man!
- THE BLESSING OF THE NEW COVENANT IS..."and
their sins will I remember no more" v.
12.
- THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ACCURACY IS:
- We must know when and where
and how God gives us forgiveness of sin.
- How terrible it would be for us if
the conditions of the covenant were not
accurately given.
- If we did not know what to do
or..If we did the wrong things.
- HOW CAN WE BE SURE?
- THE Holy Spirit shall guide you in
all the truth (John 16:13)
- "You shall know the truth and
the truth shall make you free" (John 8:12)
- "Thy Word is truth"
(John 17:17)
- Thus we have THE GOSPEL
by which we are saved (I Cor. 15;1-4) Because it
is the Power of God (Romans 1;16) Condemned to
preach any
other (Gal. 1:1-6)
CONCLUSION
- The Holy Spirit has given unto us the
direction of God's covenant.
- Been very careful to ensure that we have
it accurately.
