EXODUS 27-28:
Yesterday in Exodus, we heard the beginning
plans given by God for the Tabernacle (or sacred tent) and the Arc
of the Covenant, that was to become the focal point for the worship
of God under the Covenant. The whole Tabernacle— and particularly
the atonement cover on top of the Arc of the Covenant (called the
Mercy Seat), symbolized that God was living among them. (Ex. 25:8)
The whole Tabernacle was to be made exquisitely, as appropriate for
God's own dwelling.
PSALM 2:
In
Psalm 1, the author (probably David) mentioned obeying and studying
‘the Law’. In much of the Old Testament and even in the New, the
word ‘Law’ came to mean more than the Mosaic Law or just the first
5 books of the Old Testament. We are within bounds to say that the
author intended meditation and study of all of God’s
Word.
Today we have our first prophetic Psalm.
LUKE 3:
Yesterday in Luke we heard of Jesus' childhood,
and today we will hear of John the Baptist's ministry.
