“THAT I MAY DWELL IN THEIR MIDST!”

 Exodus 25:1;8                     (ESV)

“[1] The LORD said to Moses,….

[8] And let them make ME a sanctuary, “THAT I MAY DWELL IN THEIR MIDST”.”

How often do I attend the church where GOD has me attending totally unprepared to HEAR from THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSES???  Worse still, how often do I take advantage of the GIFT HE provided me when the “veil was rent from top to bottom” (Matthew 27:51) on the Holy of Holies???

IF WE UNDERSTOOD what a GIFT HE PURCHASED for us, certainly we would spend more time ALONE with JESUS?!?  We have DIRECT ACCESS to the KING OF KINGS and LORD of LORDS, but do we take advantage of this GIFT??  We seem to have an understanding that we can provide HIM “tithes and offerings” from our professions, and we expect that to be enough??  But is that what HE says in the Scripture passage above??

GOD’s PLAN all along was to have an unabridged relationship with HIM, to have NO BARRIERS between HIM and us!  But the PRICE FOR OUR SIN precluded this from being a reality.  When JESUS paid the ULTIMATE PRICE for my sins, the barrier (veil) was torn from top to bottom, a display of our access to our SAVIOR!!!

THE PRICE for my salvation was PAID IN FULL on Calvary!  “THAT I MAY DWELL IN THEIR MIDST” required a GIFT that ONLY JESUS could PROVIDE!!!  I pray “THAT I MAY DWELL IN THEIR MIDST” will be made known by HIS CHOSEN and we will enjoy HIM FOREVER!!!
