Feasting on Truth

Why study this ancient tent? What does knowing the Tabernacle have to do with our faith on this side of the cross? Everything. From Creation, God's desire was to dwell in the midst of His people. In the middle of the wilderness, God gives Moses a way for God Himself to dwell in the midst of His people: the Tabernacle. This tent is not merely ritual or history or good information. It's essential to understanding our salvation. Our detailed and deliberate God gave us the Tabernacle because one day, He would give us Jesus.

In this final teaching, Erin Warren discusses the sixth and seventh pieces of furniture in the Tabernacle: The Ark of the Covenant and the Marcy Seat, as well as the Most Holy Day: the Day of Atonement. Both furnishings are placed behind the Veil in the Most Holy Place, the place where God's Glory dwelled. No one was to enter except the High Priest and only on the Day of Atonement. When Jesus cried "It is finished!" on the cross, something incredible happened in the Temple. Jesus did what the blood of bulls and goats could not do, and because of our Great High Priest and the sacrifice of Himself, we now have not only access, but confidence to draw near to the Presence of God. He doesn't just dwell in our midst; He dwells in us.

In this teaching, Erin Warren discusses the fifth piece of furniture in the Tabernacle: The Altar of Incense. This altar was not for sacrifice, but for another important purpose, both physically and spiritually. Sweet is the aroma of a holy intercession that covers the stench of death. While I love the intercession of Jesus, we cannot overlook that this is the only piece of furniture with a warning against misuse. It is a message to us: how we approach God matters.

In this teaching, Erin Warren discussing the fourth furnishing in the Tabernacle: The Table of Shewbread (or the Bread of the Presence). Like the other furnishings, we see this piece has a practical purpose: it fed the priests. But the spiritual representation takes us much deeper. As we see repeated words of bread, Sabbath, covenant and pull that thread through the whole of Scripture, we find that Christ's broken body for us does more than forgive our sins. Jesus is the Bread of Life and through Him, we are invited into a relationship with our God, one that gives us a Better Bread, a Better Covenant, a Better Communion, a Better Rest.

In this teaching, Erin Warren talks about the third furnishing in the Tabernacle: The Lampstand. Like the other furnishings, it has practical purpose: it lights up the inside of the Holy Place, but it represents so much more. Because of the sacrifice and because they had been made clean, they are permitted to enter the Holy Place. It is an invitation into fellowship with our God. But now, because of the Light of Jesus, we are royal priesthood, children of the light. We no longer walk in darkness because Jesus is the Light of the World.

In this teaching, Erin Warren talks about the second furnishing in the Tabernacle: the Bronze Basin. Blood and water. Both are required to approach God, for Him to dwell in our midst. Blood atones. Water cleanses. The Bronze Basin served a practical purpose: washing off blood of the sacrifice, but it also gives us a spiritual representation: cleansing from the stain of sin. When blood and water flowed from Jesus' side on the cross, we were made clean. But, there is another type of cleaning: sanctification. It's the process of forsaking the things of the world and looking more like Jesus in the way we act, think, and speak. Thankfully, Jesus also gives us a way to take part in this process: The Word of God.

In this teaching, Erin Warren talks about the first furnishing in the Tabernacle: the Bronze Altar. These are hard passages to read, but enduring through the Word brings greater understanding of what we have been saved from. The wages of sin is death and the shedding of blood is what is required to cover sin. But our God made a way: to forgiveness, to thanksgiving, to peace, to relationship with Him dwelling in our midst. Our sin has a great cost, and Jesus, our Great High Priest, paid that debt with the spilling of His own blood on our behalf.

This week further lays the foundation for the study of the Tabernacle focusing on the purpose of this Holy Tent and how the people were able to build such a beautiful sanctuary for God in the middle of the desert. In this passage, it's easy to be wowed by the people: the talents and the gifts that they so generously bring, but in our God-centered study of Scripture, we should ask: What God would elicit this kind of response? Who is this God that they would so generously serve? He is a God of Grace and this earthly tent is a foretaste of the grace that was coming, the One who would be the True Tent who would forever restore the relationship and provide access to relationship for all.

We did it! Congratulations on finishing Way Maker and our study through the book of Hebrews. This final chapter can feel overwhelming, but this common way to end a letter isn’t a checklist for us to take inventory of our life, at least we shouldn’t start there. Also, stay tuned to the end to find out what’s next for Feasting on Truth!

The Shaking - that's what I have called the last couple years. The years have rocked many of us, but the shaking has purpose. As we pursue Jesus, as we run the race with our eyes fixed on Him, we remove the things that hinder us. And nothing tends to bring that out like trials. In Hebrews 12, we find encouragement for how to keep running and why to keep running after Jesus, our Way Maker.
