42 - “The Divine Light and Fire Overpowers the Strongest Heads” Exodus 38-39, Matthew 26

#42 The Divine light and fire then and now will overpower the strongest heads and hearts. #60000thoughts #talkingtomyself

The glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. Exodus 40:34.  And the shechinah "took up its rest forever" in Christ, the fullness of the godhead in a Person.  "The divine light and fire, let forth in their full strength, will overpower the strongest heads and the purest hearts." M. Henry.  That indeed is good news.  The Forerunner invites us this day to come boldly to His "mercy-seat." The true Tabernacle filled with the Glory of God.  We can know Him, His Glory.  May His Goodness overpower our strong wills this very day.  

The sacred sanctuary...Moses breathes a sign of relief that all the work of all the designers is done just perfectly.  Used to be they would follow the pillar of light and fire by night.  Now, the shechinah glory entered through and passed into the most holy place, the presence-chamber.  God made Himself visible through light and fire.  Well, we know.  Dazzling light and dreadful fire.  And, we now know what Moses could not do.  Through Jesus, the forerunner, we have been invited to draw near and approach, even boldly, the mercy seat.  This place was made with hands.  Our place is no longer made with hands for God Himself is the true tabernacle and in Him dwells all the fulness of the godhead.  It is truly amazing.  We are invited to come boldly today and always and forever.  Amen. 

PHOTO:  A church I visited once. Nestled in the mountains.  Cannot imagine the glory of God filling a tabernacle. And beyond all we can imagine, He is the Tabernacle.  God provided a way to be with us.  Not through a building. He Himself is our life, our peace, our rest.
