The Tabernacles

So i want to tell you about Jesus and some of the things He did for you and I.
I'm a firm believer in understanding the details of why we call ourselves Christians and while I continue to grow in knowledge and understanding of this , i'm glad to share some of the things i've learned with you.
Okay, so staraight into the word.
The typical idea of worship before Jesus came was one in which there was no direct access to God especially as a Father,which is his utmost desire.

This was not pleasing to God at all, which was why He sent Jesus.

The order was such that there was a tabernacle where the priest and high priest would go,so that the sins of every person would be covered up i.e for attonement of sins.

There were three chambers in the tabernacle for atonning of sins:

The first chamber - the priest went in to perform services.

The second chamber- the high priest went alone, once a year. He would go with blood for his sins and that of the people.

The third chamber-the Holiest of all,which no one had access to.

The only way that our conscience could be cleared entirely from sin and the effect of sin was for an atonement to be made in the Holiest of All.

Heb. 9:8 makes it clear that the HolySpirit indicated that the way to the Holiest was not yet revealed.

Hebrews 9:7-9 " But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
Which was a picture for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;"



Jesus came to take the place of highpriest and changed the format of things. He made all the difference in making us one with God:

Hebrews 9:11-14 "But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"

Jesus offered himself to God through the HolySpirit.  Entered into heaven(the greater and more perfect tabernacle)  in our behalf. He didn't present himself with the blood of animals but of himself. How magnificent? And for this reason, you and I can appear before God and serve him truly. You and I can access God directly🙏🙏 .

Jesus is just awesome.
I love you guys💜💜

Grace.

The Black Bag

Running over from the end of the class where I was sitting to my course mate,I sat on the chair next to him as I placed his school bag on my legs. Staring at the bag for a while,I said, precious Holy Spirit please teach me a lesson from this bag. It was a black leather-like bag with patches on the side(some parts of the bag peeled off). As I starred at the bag I asked my course mate-How old is this bag? He said to me,its about a year old. Its amazing how people tend to defend their actions even before you make your comment(He was already giving me reasons the bag looked that old/tattered). I discovered the bag was too good to be that tattered at less than one year. That was the lesson right there: There are people who are strong and passionate,vibrant and active,with so much beauty radiating from their inside out. But then situations in life may rise up,some beyond human control,some at the mercy of human that could make someone as good as that black leather bag become so tattered li...

FOCUS N or P

I’m sure you are wondering by now, what does focus N or P mean? Yeah,its worth the think. I’m sure you are familiar with the way a camera works, at least to some extent. The android phone/iPhone users can own this complement. You’ld often realize that some pictures don’t come out ‘fine’ or clear because whoever was behind the phone did not focus it right. Having seen the picture, you be like ‘omg this picture is blurry’. How many have friends who take blurry pictures (winks.)- this is by the way.(I do that sometimes). Youl’d realize that one or two taps on your android phone makes the image much clearer. For my photographer folks, a gentle turn of that Nickon D3300’s focus ring  and or zoom ring would give a perfect picture.  Just like a camera can produce both positive and negative images, so also our minds, based on our focus. In Numbers 13:30-31, Caleb and Joshua happen to bring back a good report as compared to the report of the other representati...

#misfit

Attachments area Preview attachment IMG4F8C It was one of those days in September (2015). I had this outfit on to class. I sure did feel good and confident in it :) . I'm getting to class and couple of my group mate are amazed! (that expression between shock and cool). Yeah! I've never really dressed in that kind of style before. .... As I walked down the street,I actually did think about people been surprised at my outfit for the day. But then,I thought,this may not be my conventional style but someone will see me and get very comfortable been his/herself. Why?- someone else can resonate with their style.That alone gave me some more confidence with every step I took. Every other person is classy and elegant but you are bohemian  Every other person is corporate but you are casual Everyone seems to have it all figured out but you are lost. Everyone seems to be short but you are tall Everyone seems to be doing life big but you can't st...
