Feasting On Christ
Exodus 23:1-33
God is love: He loves ‘the stranger’(9).
God is holy: He ‘will not acquit the wicked’(7).
He wants to reproduce His love and holiness - in us.
Not holiness without love: that is self-righteous legalism.
Not love without holiness: that is spineless sentimentalism.
To Israel, He sent 'an angel...' (20).
To us, He has sent Christ: He is the Way to the place prepared for us (John 14:2-3,6).
Through the Holy Spirit, Christ continues His ministry among us (John 14:25-26).
‘Pay attention’ to the words of Christ.
‘Listen’ for the voice of the Holy Spirit (21).
Do not ‘quench’ or ‘grieve’ the Holy Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:19; Ephesians 4:30).
It may take time - ‘little by little’(30) - but God will work through his obedient people - ‘I will... you shall...’(30-31).
Exodus 24:1-18
Moses was alone with the Lord - receiving the Word of the Lord (1-2).
Moses went to the people - speaking the Word of the Lord (3).
There was also a written ministry of the Word (4).
At the heart of our worship, there is ‘the blood of the covenant’(8; 12:13; John 1:29; Hebrews 9:22; 10:4; 9:13-14; 1 John 1:7).
Moses worshipped on ‘the mountain of God’(12-18).
We worship ‘in spirit and truth’(John 4:19-24).
We come to the Father through Christ and in the Spirit (Ephesians 2:18).
We come on the basis of Christ’s blood shed for us (Hebrews 10:19-22).
We come as those to whom the Spirit has been given (John 1:33; 3:34).
With ‘the Spirit of God’ living in us and helping us as we pray, let us feast on Christ, the Truth, the living Word, to whom the written and spoken words point us (Romans 8:9,26; John 14:6; 1:1,14; 17:17).
Exodus 25:1-40
This is full of Christ!
We don't ‘read into’ the Old Testament things which aren’t really there.
We read this part of Scripture in the light of the full revelation of God.
We see Christ as the Central Theme.
Above everything else and everyone else, there is Jesus Christ our Saviour.
God dwells among His people (8).
Christ lives in us (Galatians 2:20; Colossans 1:27).
God is merciful to us (17-22; Psalm 103:8-12; Micah 7:18-19).
Through Christ, we have received ‘mercy’(Ephesians 2:4-7; Titus 3:4-7).
From ‘mercy’ we move on to 'testimony' (18).
The two are vitally related (1 Timothy 1:12-17).
The ‘bread of the Presence’(30) turns our thoughts to the Cross.
The ‘lampstand of pure gold’ calls us to shine brightly for Christ, who ‘came... to save sinners’(1 Timothy 1:15).
