This is devotional thought number 29 in our devotional series, “Removing the Veil: Sanctuary Living in the 21st Century.” Our subject is: The Light of the World
Here’s the question for consideration: What blessing must we find in the golden candlestick?
“And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same. And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.” (Exodus 25:31, 37).
God revealed a precious truth in the furniture of the ancient Jewish tabernacle. This truth would change the face of the world if fully realized. If world leaders understood it, and those who lived in each country lived by it, all wars would cease. No crime would be able to thrive in any of our neighborhoods. Love would abound and strife would always give way to lasting peace and safety.
The Lord instructed Moses to make a single golden candlestick with seven lamps. The candlestick would have three lamps on each side and one in the center. It would be beautiful and give light to all that was in its presence. This was a simple article of furniture, but the truth surrounding it is far from it.
Candles give light (that’s obvious). Do you realize that the Bible is light? “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” (Psalms 119:105). The Bible also says that Jesus Himself, called the Word of God in John chapter one, is the Light (we’ve said this before). “And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.” (Revelation 21:23). “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” (John 8:12). Notice, too, that the candlestick was located in the holy place. This holy place was a symbol of the house of God, and more importantly, the hearts of God’s people. When Jesus, as revealed in the Bible, is present in the church and His people, many incredible things begin to happen. His people are transferred from the kingdom of darkness into His marvelous light. Because of this miraculous transformation, we also teach others of the light that they too might live in harmony with God. “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16).
The blessing that we must find in the golden candlestick is that God has given us the light of Jesus Christ as revealed in His Word, and as we receive that light, we allow it to emanate from us so others will find a relationship with God too.—L. David Harris (www.LDavidHarris.com)
