Before I get to my subject, let's
again ask for God's blessings upon this time of worship. Lord, we meet this morning gathered
by Your providential goodness and by Your hand of mercy. We're so thankful that you have
put us under the sound of the gospel of the grace of God for
the sinful and the Lord Jesus, our Savior. Lord, as we break
open the Word of God, the bread of life now, we ask that the
Spirit of grace would give us an understanding of our subject,
of that One who is the Gospel, the Lord Jesus and His work of
reconciliation and redemption. Bless these who sit before me
and those who are joining us. And Lord, enable everyone to
enter into this worship service with faith, with reverence, and
with the desire to hear the truth of God and the ability to believe
the truth of God. We thank You for our Savior,
for His redeeming grace. Magnify Him, Lord, even as He
magnified You in His life and in His death. These things we
ask in the name of the Savior and for His sake. Amen. We read or had read to us just
a little bit ago these verses from Exodus chapter 29. And you
read of these two lambs that had to
be offered to God every day. The very first thing in the morning
at 9 a.m., all of the Israelites gathered just outside the gate
of the tabernacle, and there one of the priests would offer
on the altar of burnt offering, the brazen altar, lamb. This was a lamb without spot,
without blemish of the first year. And then they would disassemble
and do whatever it was that they did that day. Perhaps it was
travel day. But once again, in the end of
the day, that is about three in the afternoon, there was another
lamb that had to be offered to God. Isn't it amazing, as you
study the Old Testament, how frequently God keeps before us
this sacrificial lamb? Morning, evening. God said this
is a perpetual thing. You do this every day. And every
day at nine, they would all gather together for a worship service.
And then the lamb was offered to God, a burnt offering, so
it was totally consumed. And then at three in the afternoon,
they'd stop whatever they were doing, they'd go to the gate
of the tabernacle. Once again, they took another
lamb, and it was offered to God. And this is repeated year after
year after year. Now there's got to be something
here to benefit us that we could learn from this. And that is
God's own Son, the Lamb of God. He came into this world. And
all of these, every morning and every evening, perpetually, for
years and years and years, for decades, for centuries. These
would continue to be offered because all of them directed
the attention to the worshipers of that Lamb of God who would
come. And then John the Baptist identified
God's Lamb and he said, Behold, the Lamb of God which taketh
away the sins of the world. And then once the Lamb of God,
our Lord Jesus, once He suffered, bled and died upon the cross
of Calvary to satisfy God's justice and put away the sins of all
of His people and bring in everlasting righteousness, all of those lambs
that died on Jewish altars were done away with. There's no more
sacrifice of animals. Our Lord Jesus, He satisfied
every demand of God. In the book of Hebrews, we read
in chapter 10, that they offered sacrifices year by year, but
they could never put away sin, and they could never give peace
to the conscience of the worshipers that the deed of satisfying God's
justice and the removal of their guilt, they could never have
peace in the conscience that it was done. They knew this is
just a picture every morning and every evening. This is a
picture of the Lord's Lamb who would die and then He would satisfy
God. There in Hebrews chapter 10 where
it says, the blood of bulls and goats couldn't put away sin. Then said I, lo, I come. to do thy will, O God. And then
he said, the Lord Jesus said, a body thou hast prepared me. And literally that is a tabernacle. Thou hast prepared me. And of
course, this tabernacle in the wilderness, it directed the attention
of the worshipers to one who would come. And as we studied
this, we know it pictured the Lord Jesus who tabernacled in
our flesh. And here's my subject this morning,
a very special tabernacle. A very special tabernacle. You know, all of the children
of Israel dwelt in tents or tabernacles. Later on, they're gonna have
a feast of tabernacles which commemorated their living in
these tabernacles or booths as they went through their wilderness
journeys. But of all of those tabernacles,
of all of those tents, And pretty much they all look very, very
similar to this tabernacle of the Lord because from the outside
they all kind of were drab looking, covered with badger skins, dull
and ordinary looking. But of all of those tents, of
all of those tabernacles, there was one tabernacle, one tent,
very special. because that's where God, in
symbolism, that's where he dwelt. That's the tabernacle of God. And I want to speak to you about
this tabernacle, a very special tabernacle, one that God dwelt in. Now, of course,
the heaven of heavens cannot contain God. The Lord even said,
where is the house that you're going to build for me that I'll
dwell in? And yet God, He was pleased in
His infinite mercy to abide with the children of Israel. Now the
children of Israel were a typical people. They were a picture of
another group of people that is the true Israel of God. And as they went to the tabernacle
two times every day to worship, and never to worship without
the sacrifice of an innocent animal, never to worship without
the shedding of blood, even so we worship our God at a very
special tabernacle. And that was our Lord Jesus.
In John chapter 1 and verse 14. And you know the verse and the
word was made flesh and dwelt among us. So the word
dwelt is a very interesting word there. Married. He was married
to the flesh. There's no divorce of our Lord
Jesus from His joining His deity to humanity. And the word was
made, made flesh. Joined to flesh. Married to flesh. And there will be no divorce.
There'll be no divorce there. That's the reason the word made
is sometimes translated as married. He married His divinity to our
humanity. And that has never ceased and
it never will. He is always the God-man who
tabernacled in the flesh. And the rest of the verse goes
this way, and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. That is, He tabernacled among
us. When you saw the Lord Jesus walking
down the streets of Jerusalem, going to Galilee to preach and
perform miracles, He didn't have a halo over His head. He looked
just like any other man. In fact, Isaiah says in Isaiah
53, there was no beauty about Him that we should desire Him. and looking like any other man,
the people could not believe. They would not receive the message
that this ordinary looking Jew, this man of Galilee, they would
not receive the truth that this man was God manifested in the
flesh. But he was. Oh, this is a very
special tabernacle. that God made for him and our
Lord Jesus tabernacled in the flesh. And when he died upon
the cross of Calvary, that's the God-man dying. And when he was buried and then
rose again the third day and he ascended to heaven 40 days
later, that's the God-man ascending up to heaven. And when God the
Father said, take your seat here at my right hand until I make
you enemies, you footstool, that's the God-man who took his position
at the right hand of God. That's the God-man who rules.
That's the God-man who governs. God in our tabernacle. A tabernacle like ours. Very
amazing, a very special tabernacle. Now, as you study the word tabernacle,
which I've been doing quite extensively the last couple or three weeks
or so, I discovered that as you go through the Word of God, especially
in the Old Testament, there are different ways to express or
speak of this tabernacle. And I'll give you the seven ways
very briefly this morning. Here's the first way. This is
the first way the tabernacle is referred to in my list anyway. And it's right here in verse,
let me reread verses 42 and then I'll go down to verse 44. Exodus chapter 29, this shall
be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. That's the
first one I'm gonna work on, but I'll come back to it. This
is the first way this tabernacle is referred to. It is the tabernacle
of the congregation. You say, well, it was the tabernacle
of the wilderness. It was never called that. Here's
what it's first referred to as the tabernacle of the congregation
before the Lord. Now here's some key words coming
up here. This tabernacle of the congregation
before the Lord. Here are key words. Where I will
meet you to speak there unto thee, look at verse 43, and there
I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle,
it shall be sanctified by my glory. What makes this tabernacle
special? Here are all these other tents,
all these other booths, all these other tabernacles. What makes
this one to be very special? That's where God's glory dwelt. That's what made it special.
This is the abode of God. Back in the Holy of Holies. There's
the Ark of the Covenant and the Mercy Seat with the chair bends
facing each other. And there comes out the glory
of God, the brightness of God's glory. We call it the Shekinah,
the glory of God. Shekinah glory. And doesn't that
also put you in mind of John 1.14 again? And the Word was
made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His, what's the
next word? Glory. The glory as of the only
begotten of the Son of God. What makes this, this particular
tabernacle so special? That's where the glory of God
is. And that man who walked through
Jerusalem and Galilee performing miracles and teaching and parables,
what made him so special? The glory of God dwelt in him. That's what's special. He's not
just a mere man. They said, we know who you are.
You're the son of Joseph and Mary and we know you brothers
and sisters. He said, my father sent me. And
they got, oh, they were ready to stone him, ready to kill him
because they knew he's saying he's equal with God. This is
the tabernacle of the congregation. Now, let me just give you a definition
of the word congregation. Well, you know, it just means
a multitude of people, a group of people, an assembly of people. And so we can say, here's the
congregation, right? Here's our congregation. Here's
our congregation. But everywhere in the Scriptures
where this entire expression is used, tabernacle of the congregation,
the word congregation doesn't mean a group of people. It never
does. This expression is found, if
I count it right, about 120 times in the Old Testament. When it
is used, it has a different meaning. When the congregation of the
tabernacle is used, or the tabernacle of the congregation is used,
it has a different meaning. Here's the meaning. A designated
location and a designated time. That's the tabernacle of the
congregation. Wherever you see that expression,
you get your Strong's Concordance, and you run these references
like I did, because the word tabernacle is used a lot of times
in the Bible, the word congregation is used a lot of times. And everywhere
else, it just means a group of people. But when it's tacked
onto or attached to the tabernacle of the congregation, it means
it's got a different meaning. And nobody in here is experts
on Hebrew or Greek, and certainly I'm not, but I can read. And everywhere this particular
Hebrew word is used, it means a specified location, a special
designated place, and a special designated time. That's the reason I said they
gathered at 9 o'clock in the morning and 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. Why? That's a designated time. That's
a special time. And if they're going to worship
God, they've got to worship God at a specific location. Not just anywhere. Now before
this, as you read through the patriarchs, they'd build an altar
anywhere. City or whatever. and they'd
worship God. But now there's a special location,
a specific location. This is the tabernacle of the
congregation. This is a specified location. And you're not going to worship
God anywhere else. Now you can see the picture there. You can't
worship God anywhere else except through the Lord Jesus. God said,
look at this, where I will meet you. This is the meeting place. This is the meeting place between
men and God. Between women and God. And this
is the meeting place between God and men and women and children. He says in verse 43, there I
will meet with the children of Israel. Well, what makes this
location so special? It's sanctified by God's glory. He said, that's where I'll meet
you. That's the only place I'm going to meet you. Well, what
about over in Egypt or somewhere? What about those folks over there?
No. He's not going to meet with anybody
over there. What about some other nation over in Assyria? What about in Babylon? Somewhere
like that? No. He's not going to meet with
anybody there. This is the only designated place
in all the world. What a thought. In all the world. This is where God's going to
meet with men and men meet with God. And you'll meet with God
in the Lord Jesus and in Him only. He won't meet you anywhere
else. He's not going to meet you in
Mary. He's not going to meet you as you count some beads or
rub a cross or something like that. That's not where God meets
people. God meets people in Christ Jesus. And that's where you're going
to meet God. The Lord Jesus said, I'm the way, I'm the truth, I'm
the life. No man cometh unto the Father
but by Me. The Lord specifically said He
would reveal Himself to these people at the door of the tabernacle
in the brightness of His glory. You want to meet with God? Am
I talking to people who want to meet with God? Who want to
worship God? Who want to exalt God? Do that
in the Lord Jesus Christ. He said, that's where I'll meet
you, at this very special tabernacle. Well, let me give you nothing,
because I can't spend too much time on each one of these, but
go over to Exodus chapter 38. And I'm actually not gonna ask
you to go to all of these references, but I want you to go to this
one. In Exodus chapter 38 and verse 21, Now here's the second way it's
used. This is the sum of the tabernacle, even the tabernacle of the testimony. It's not only the tabernacle
of the congregation where God meets men and men meet God, but
it's also the tabernacle of the testimony. Well, the word testimony
here means evidence. In the Ark of the Covenant, and
you've studied, most of you have studied about the Ark of the
Covenant, there was that law of God. In addition, Aaron's
rod that budded and the golden pot of manna. But there was the
law of God in the Ark of the Covenant. That's the second tablets
of stone. Well, what happened to the first
one? Well, Moses is up on the mount and with the finger of
God, God wrote the Ten Commandments on two tablets of stone. And
then he heard a noise down in the camp, and we'll get to that
eventually and study that. But he goes down, and it's not
the sound of war. Joshua said it's the sound of
war. He says it's not the sound of
war, it's the sound of celebration. Somebody's really happy. And
they came down, and Moses had the tables of stone in his hand.
He had the law of God in his hand. and he saw the children
of Israel dancing around a golden calf. And in his anger, he threw
those tablets of stone on the ground and broke them all to
pieces, which was indicative of what the Israelites were doing,
breaking the law of God. No sooner had Israel been given
the law of God to Moses, who is the designated receiver of
the law, they were already breaking it. And so Moses sent those tablets
of stone down on the ground and broke them to pieces. Then God wrote the law again.
Now here's what's interesting. This expression, the tabernacle
of the testimony, was not used until the law was broken. You
won't read that before the law is broken. Before Moses cast
those tablets of stone down on the ground and broke them to
pieces, before Israel committed idolatry, dancing around the
golden calf, it's not called the tabernacle of testimony or
the tabernacle of evidence. Not until after the law was broken
And then God gave the Law again. And He said, you put this Law
in the Ark of the Covenant as a lasting, lasting testimony
or evidence to the strictness of God. And as a constant reminder
to the Israelites of their inability to keep the Law of God. Listen
to me. It is only natural to think,
if I do good, God will reward me. I'll try to live by the Ten
Commandments. No, you've broken those. You've
broken them to pieces. And God has put His law in the
Ark of the Covenant in our Lord Jesus Christ for safekeeping,
for preservation. And it stands as an evidence
of our inability to keep the law, and of His ability to keep
it, and then bear the penalty for us breaking it. One entered into this world who
kept God's law perfectly, and that was the Son of God. And
He made it honorable. Don't flee to the law for salvation,
for mercy, for justification, or even for sanctification. You
flee to Christ Jesus. You see, God's law will kill
you. It's a ministration of death
and judgment. Flee to Christ Jesus. Now here's
the third one. Go off to Numbers chapter 17. Numbers chapter 17 and verse 7. Numbers 17 verse 7. I'll read the verse and then
I'll kind of set the context for you. Numbers chapter 17 and
verse 7. And Moses laid up the rods before
the Lord in the tabernacle of witness." In the tabernacle of
witness. Now this expression is always
used with reference to the priesthood. You might file that away somewhere.
This expression, the tabernacle of witness, is always used in
a context that has to do with the priesthood. Real quick, this
all started back in Numbers 16. Three men, Korah, Dathan, and
Abiram, with 250 men of renown, they all go to Moses and Aaron
and say, you guys take too much on you. We're all holy men here. And you need to spread the authority
and let us join in. You need help. Understand, Moses,
he's the prophet of God. He's the spokesman for God. And
Aaron, he's the high priest. He ministers to God on behalf
of the people. And so here are these three men,
Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, and 250 other renowned men in Israel,
and they say, listen, let's share this labor. We'll all be prophets. And we'll
all be priests. Well, that didn't go over too
well. Because God had one designated prophet, that's Moses. And he
had one designated high priest, that's Aaron. And so Moses said,
well, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. You three
men and your 250 men of renown, y'all come back sometime tomorrow
and bring your censer to burn incense to the Lord." And then
Moses rebuked them. He rebuked them. And ultimately,
without going deeper into the story, God killed them all. He
killed them all. Killed their families. Everything
that had to do with Korah and Dathan and Abiram, the earth
swallowed up and closed up over the top of them. Then the 250
men of renown, God burnt them to death. God sent fire from
heaven and destroyed them. Because this is what they were
doing. They were seeking to bypass God's spokesman and God's high
priest. Now you can't do that. I tell
you, hell will open up and it will swallow you if you try to
bypass God's spokesman who is the Lord Jesus Christ. He's the
Word of God. God speaks by one. It's what
it says in Hebrews chapter 1 and verse 1. God hath in these last
days spoken unto us by His Son. He's the Word of God. He's the
vehicle who makes known to us the mind of God, the purpose
of God, the ways of God, the person of God. He's the one who is God. You can't bypass God's spokesman. He's the prophet of God. And
He's the high priest. You don't want to do business
with God. God's a consuming fire. You don't
want to go one-on-one with God. You need a mediator. You need
a go-between. You need one who will stand between
you and a holy God. And this is the Lord Jesus. The
Lord Jesus. The next day, Moses told the
rest of the people, After these three men, their families, everything
that appertained to them got swallowed up and fire devoured
the 250. The next day, Moses went before
the people and he said, now listen, here's what I want you to do.
Whoever the chief man is in your tribe, 12 tribes of Israel, Let
each one of them take the rod of the tribe." That was kind
of like their own special flag. Designated their tribe. And he
said, and whoever that man is, tell him to write his name on
his rod and bring it to me. And he did that. And then Moses put them in the
tabernacle before the Lord. And the next day, there's 12
rods in there, the next day 11 of them was just like they were
when Moses took them in. But one rod budded, blossomed,
and bore fruit. Well, whose name's on that? Aaron. He's of the tribe of Levi. He's God's high priest. You see, he is of the tribe of
Levi. And the Levites were an important
tribe because they were the attendants to the tabernacle. They assembled
the tabernacle, took the tabernacle down, transported the tabernacle
and so forth. But they weren't the priesthood. The priesthood came from the
family of Aaron. He's the high priest, one high
priest. And God gave witness, He gave
witness that Aaron is the high priest by means of this rod that
budded. In other words, God made a distinction
here. God made a choice. You want witness? of who God's high priest is.
You see that little almond tree? That's the evidence that it's
Aaron. It budded, it blossomed, it bore fruit. And Aaron's a
picture of our Lord Jesus, who budded into this world, and by
His substitutionary death blossomed And as a result of his shed blood,
he bears fruit. What is the fruit? We're the
fruit. We're the fruit to the glory
of God. So this is the tabernacle of
witness, which shows God chose, God chose who his high priest
would be. And here's the witness, that
rod that budded. And here's the fourth one. Go
back to Leviticus chapter 17. Leviticus chapter 17. And look at verse 4. Leviticus
17 verse 4. And I don't have time to get
into all the context here, but it has to do with bringing bringing
it not to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. There is
the first tabernacle of the congregation. That goes back to our first point.
Tabernacle of meeting, designated place, designated time. To offer
an offering unto the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord. LORD in all capital letters is
Jehovah or the ever-existent God. Will the God of eternity dwell
with men? Will one who inhabited forever
Back before there was anything and who will still exist when
there will be no heaven and earth as we know it? It's got to be
renovated. Will God still be there then?
Yes, He's the infinite God. The infinite of days. With whom
there's no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Will He dwell
with men? Yes. Yes. You see that man once again with
the eye of faith. Jesus of Nazareth. That is the
true tabernacle of the Lord. That is the ever-existent God
right there. Now, don't ever deny His deity. Because all that He did is based
upon who he is. He's God. This is the tabernacle
of the Lord. And that Jewish man walking down
the street, who is that? That's the tabernacle of the
Lord. That's the tabernacle of the infinite God. That's the
tabernacle that God, the invisible God, God who is Spirit, has taken
up His residence in that man. And His deity is married to the
humanity of our Lord Jesus. Let me give you the fifth one.
And you don't need to turn to this one. It's 1 Chronicles 6
and verse 48. It's called the tabernacle of
the house of God. I've already said it was kind
of a rustic looking tent or tabernacle. This tabernacle of the Lord. The tabernacle of God. It didn't
appear to be glorious. Let me give you... If you were
a priest, let me give you the view of a priest who labored
inside the holy place. Of course, an ordinary priest
couldn't go into the Holy of Holies. Only a high priest and
then only once a year. But let me give you the view
of an ordinary priest. Ordinary priest. He goes into
the holy place and he looks up And it sees a beautiful tapestry
all white. White linen. It's embroidered
with gold, purple, blue, and scarlet threads. And it has a
figure of a cherubim. Can you see it? I can almost
see it with my mind's eye. I can see it. Can't you? I can
see it. And here's this beautiful cherubim looking down upon those
priests who worshipped inside. That beautiful white linen tapestry
represented the holiness and the perfection and the very glory
of Jesus Christ. He's the Lord our righteousness. But then there was another piece
of tapestry over that. A second layer covering and a
little bit overlapping that first one. And this one is made of
goat's hair. And oriental goats were typically
black. Black skin. This pictured the
wickedness and the sinfulness of the worshipers. But it couldn't
be seen. because it's over the top of
the righteousness or the purity representing our Lord Jesus.
God doesn't see our sins. You may mention that in your
prayer. God doesn't see our sins. Oh, they're black, dark, wicked,
foreboding, deserving of the judgment of God, but I can't
see that black. All I see is white. That's the
righteousness of the Son of God. And then there's a third piece
of tapestry or curtain or whatever you want to call it. It also
overlapped. It overlapped the black. And
this is ram skin dyed red. Now what do you think that represents?
That's the blood of the Lord Jesus. We're going to be studying
Wednesday night in Genesis chapter 22. You remember when Isaac,
he's on the altar and Abraham's ready to kill him and God says,
stop! I see you believe Me and you
love Me. Look over there in that thicket. What do you see? What
do you see? A ram. A ram. You take that ram
and offer that ram as a sacrifice in the stead of Isaac. This speaks, this red piece of
tapestry, that speaks of the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus.
What's happened to our sin? That black. On one side is the
righteousness of the Lord Jesus and on the other side is His
blood. What do you know about that? And then there's the fourth layer.
And this also overlapped all those others. There's the fourth,
the top layer. It covered, it covered them all. It's badger skins. Dull, drab, Nothing special looking about
that. That's what was exposed to the
storms, to the rain, to whatever kind of foul weather God sent. To the natural eye, the Lord
Jesus looked like any other man. But there's the white. That's
His righteousness. The blackness of our sins were
laid upon Him. By His bloody death, He washed
our sins away. And He did it all underneath
the covering of that which looked quite ordinary in a body. But in that body,
he endured all the storms of God's wrath. The rain of fire
from heaven, as it were, fell on him. He died under the wrath
of God. And thereby he saved poor sinners
like you and me. But to see him with the natural
eye, nothing special about him. And I'll tell you what, he's
the one who bore the fiery darts of Satan's temptation. And he
didn't, he didn't bleach. He's the perfect son of God.
Let me give you the sixth one real quick. You'll have to turn to this in
Psalm 78 in verse 60 if you're taking notes, the tabernacle
of This is the tabernacle of Shiloh. Tabernacle of Shiloh. And you remember that, I'm sure,
from Genesis chapter 49 and verse 10. This sets forth our Savior. What is Shiloh? Well, it literally
means a place of rest. Or to Him shall the gathering
be. To Him shall the people look. When the children of Israel got
discouraged or, you know, difficulties in the family or whatever, they'd
go out of their own tent, they'd look over there and they'd say,
that's the tabernacle of God right there. And that stands
for the tabernacle of Shiloh. He's the one who gathers sinners
to himself. He's the one to whom we look.
He is our peace. You're not going to find any
peace anywhere else. You're not going to find any rest anywhere
else. The only rest for your poor soul, the only peace for
your heart, is in Christ Jesus the Lord. That's the reason He
said, come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, I'll
give you rest. Rest! That's what the soul wants. Rest in Christ Jesus. And then
here's the last one, and I'm going to ask you to turn with
me to this one. And this is all the way over
to the last book of the Bible. Revelation chapter 21. Let me
give you this. Revelation chapter 21 and verse
3. But I'll read the first three
verses. So I'll start in Revelation 21. John said, and I saw a new heaven
and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth were
passed away and there was no more sea. And I, John, saw the
holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven prepared
as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out
of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God. And where is He? He's with men. He's with us. He's with all of
His people. And it says, "...and He will
dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself
shall be with them, and be their God." He's with His people. He said,
well, Jim, isn't He with us now? He is with us now by His Spirit.
He said, where two or three are gathered together, I'll be in
your midst. So He's here with us this morning
by His Holy Spirit. But there's coming a day when
all of the people of God will be with Him. And this One who
is the tabernacle of God He'll be with us physically. Really. Face to face with Christ
my Savior. Face to face to see and know.
Face to face with my Redeemer. Jesus Christ who loved me so. What's it going to be like to
see the tabernacle of God face to face? And those who have died in the
Lord Jesus, they see Him face to face. And He's going to dwell
with us and we're going to dwell with Him forever and ever. I tell you, this is a very special
tabernacle. It surely is. May God lead us
all to this tabernacle and find rest and comfort and salvation
and forgiveness and righteousness in the Lord Jesus our Savior. Amen. Let's pray. Father, oh,
how we rejoice in this one who is the tabernacle. And how glorious
to think and to remember and ponder the truth that someday
the tabernacle of God will dwell with us and we shall dwell with
Him eternally. Thank you, O God, for Your Son.
And we ask that we'll comprehend the message. This is where the

man Christ Jesus. We believe Him. We rejoice in
Him. draw others to Him, we ask and
pray for Jesus' sake. Amen.
