  • No One Can See God at Any Time: Daily Devo, John 1:14-18

    No One Can See God at Any Time: Daily Devo, John 1:14-18

    The Word, Jesus, became flesh. I don’t understand this to mean that the divine transformed into flesh but rather assumed human flesh, such that the human flesh and nature was added to the divine nature without losing the divine nature in any degree or respect. In this incarnation, we were finally able to behold God—full…

  • Children of God, Born of God and Not The Will of Men: Daily Devo, John 1:6-13

    Children of God, Born of God and Not The Will of Men: Daily Devo, John 1:6-13

    Here, John the Apostle tells us about John the Baptizer. The Baptizer was sent from God to bear witness to the light in fulfillment of Malachi 4:5-6. John the Baptizer told the world that life had finally come into the world as has been promised repetitively since Genesis 3. At this moment, John the Apostle…

  • Life is the Light of Men, and DArkness Will Not Overcome Life: Daily Devo, John 1:1-5

    Life is the Light of Men, and DArkness Will Not Overcome Life: Daily Devo, John 1:1-5

    As I reflect on John’s introduction, I find it interesting to see that the light is not Christ Himself in this instance. Life is the light of men. The Word of God, who is God and is with God in the beginning, is the one in whom life is—from the beginning, not merely from the…

    Unspiritual Spiritual Gifts- Exodus 31:1-11

    After God instructed Israel to craft all of the specialty, custom items for the tent of meeting, He reveals that He has gifted certain individuals by His Spirit for the purpose of crafting these pieces artistically. God takes the credit for gifting His people for craftsmanship according to His own plans for the production of…

  • Food and Drink- Exodus 29:31-46

    Food and Drink- Exodus 29:31-46

    Earlier, we saw the table of presence given as a reminder that God intended to eat and drink with His people. With the sacrifice of Christ, God would pull His own mercy seat up to the table because the veil would be torn. This eating and drinking imagery permeates all of the religious practices God…

  • Ordination- Exodus 29:1-9

    Ordination- Exodus 29:1-9

    Aaron and his sons are ordained for their priestly ministry. The phrase translated as ordain, here (ומלאת יד–אהרן ייד–בניו), literally means to fill the hand of Aaron and his sons. The earliest mention of a type of ordination by the people of anyone to any kind of ministry in Scripture literally means that through ordination,…

  • The Bride of Christ- Exodus 28

    The Bride of Christ- Exodus 28

    God instructs Israel to make special garments for the priests. They are to be adorned for beauty and glory. The priests are to be fully covered, exposing none of their shame—in line with the imagery of nakedness in Genesis 3. The garments of the priests were meant to depict two truths. First God is holy.…

    The Accessibility of God- Exodus 27

    God instructs Israel to build the bronze altar for sacrifices and the outer court of the Tabernacle. When He finishes instructing them how to build those things, He instructs Aaron and his sons to keep the tent of meeting in order from evening to morning. He instructs the people to bring oil so that the…

  • Being Made Complete- Exodus 25:32-40

    Being Made Complete- Exodus 25:32-40

    God instructs Israel to craft a menorah for the Tabernacle. It and all of its utensils are to be made from a talent of gold. Menorahs have six branches with seven lamps. Both six and seven are important symbolic numbers in the world since the creation of humankind. People were created on the sixth day…

    Second Commandment Violations- Exodus 25:10-22

    God instructs Moses to instruct Israel to build an Ark which will carry the tablets of the Law and serve as God’s mercy seat—the seat from which He will instruct Moses during the years they use the Tabernacle. The Ark of the Covenant represents the presence of God before the people so that the people…
