Wednesday: Center of Divine and Communal Activity — 17 Comments

  1. Many at times we do sin against our God en this separates us from God but through a typical sanctuary on earth we are motivated that once we realise we have gone astray and come back to our father and pray fo forgivenes of our sins then our gracious God is ready to forgive us. God himself from 2 chronicles 7:14 is real promising us to pardon our sins if we turn away from our inquities and pray to him.think its high time we reflect the significance of the sanctuary.

  2. The sanctuary built Solomon became centre of supplication, forginess centre, a place of solution to various problems. This shows to us that God is still interested in the business of men, no wonder solomon prayer on the day of the temple dedication was heard. Today, if you devote yourself and fervently pray the Lord is ready to answer remeber now that you and i are HIS temple.

  3. As the Hebrew sanctuary was central to the life of Israel, so the heavenly sanctuary should be central to our life - with all our plans and thoughts centering on the work of Christ for the salvation of man.

    That would mean that the major reference point for our decision making should not only be, "How will this affect God's plan for the salvation of humanity?" (The life of a Christian either testifies for God or against Him.)

    • Benjamin, look back in the lesson study quarterly to Tuesday, October 8, it will give you a clearer understanding. The Tabernacle was to be a place where God can meet his people. god thought them about the shedding of blood for their sins. This was all about the future coming of Jesus to be our ultimate sacrafice for the worlds sins. Thus shedding of His Blood.
      I see the table of 12 Showbread pieces to represent two things. 1. 12 Tribes of Isreal, and most importantly to me, Jesus is the Bread of Life. I found that the Rod of Aaron that bloomed represents the Christ resurrection. I hope this will help. This is my first time commenting. I read all the wonderful comments and feel like I have a lot to learn. God Bless

  5. It is important to note from today's lesson that there is a place for the Israelite and foreigner in the temple of God because God is not a respector of person. We sometimes tend to claim God's presence and favour exclusively for us. We must always remember that the dimensions of the ark and the mercy seat was identical which means that God's righteosness and His grace are equal and from today's lesson it can be taken that the same grace that is available for the Israelite is available for the foreigner too.

  6. What does God desires from us with the freedom of choice option? Since He has created us in his own image, he expects the character of us to be like his. Here we fall short in His expectations!

  7. Religion was not just part of the Israelite nation. It was all about life. The time we spend re-examining ourselves, meditating upon God's word,praying and exercising our faith matters is pertinent in maintaining our relationship with God.

  8. A prayerful Christian is the most powerful person you can ever meet. My personal experience shows the more time I spend with God makes my life easier, helps me love those I relate with more and better...In fact, Prayer is truly "the key."

  9. We Should Spend Most Of Our Time Communicating With God. God Still Has the Same Lov He Had 4 Us and Thats Why It Is Easier To Communicate With Him. You Dont Have To Be In Church for You To ,Its Anywhere, You Dont Have To Go To A Priest, Jesus Is Already There,. We Ought To Be Closer To God Than Ever.

  10. Criticism over disappointment of 1844 led pioneers and us to understand the ideological concept of salvation. The sanctuary being an instrument of God to make men understand that without shedding blood on altar there is no remission of sin. It was fulfilled in Jesus once for all. He has entered the most holy to wind up things before his second coming.

  11. The seven cases Solomon treated in his prayers during sanctuary dedication illustrate all aspects of human problems in all ages in which only God can proffer solution. The sanctuary is a solution home in which anybody, irrespective of race, tribe, ethnicity and even religion, with faith will receive healing, having met God.
    Great victories are won on knees; hence, children of God should spend more time talking to God about their problems than grumbling.
    Thanks everyone for your insightful commentaries.

  12. it is amaizing to note that in as much as we, through our sins had drifted away from God,He still was willing to provide us with another meeting point a place where we would still have to go with our burdens, where we would inquire every aspect of our life and one other intresting aspect is the aspect of the sanctuary being for all kinds of people with all kinds of neends not for specific people what a loving God we save
