30 - "You Have A Forerunner" Exodus 38-39

The sacred sanctuary...Moses breathes a sign of relief that all the work of all the designers is done just perfectly. Exodus 39:43. 

Dear Ones and Bristol, The ways in which they went about their work, just marvelous.  We are not hidden people living behind walls, stiff-arming the world.  We are known by God, known in our communities, known for our good.  May we work generously like they did in Exodus:  "Cherubims of cunning work."  Work hard kids! Follow the example of your grandfather---Pops. One of the hardest working men I know. Just don't make it your identity. Make it your goal. 

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.
