The hiaory of Israel has moved forward in ^ aoeount in. Exodus where the people de> livered from bondage are astab* liahed as a tiieocratic natian; that ia» 'one foverifed by God. The covoiant at Sinai (ch. It) .was followed by the giving of the Saw (chs. 20-23), and then la diap* ters 2440 wa find the worship of God estaUished. Two elements are necessary—a way ih which God may be approached end a place to meet Him. The former is provided in the ordaining of the Aaronic priest* hood, and the latter by tiie build-, tag of the Tabernacle. L CM Provides a Way te Wer- ship(2S:l). The appointmoit of Aaron as high’ priest, a^ his sons to serve with* him, provided for the proper con- of the worship of God v^ich eras to take place in the Tabemade. The sinner ccmiing into the pres*, ence of God must approach by way, of the brazen altar ahere sacrifice' could be made for sin. This ei^Ded for a pried set apart for this ho)y duty, which would open the way for the repentant one to enter into tte Holy i^ce, and ultimately to know fiiat his sin eras covered in the Holy ef Holies. Oonsider the grace of God in ttms providing for the deep spiritual need ef His people. AH of fiiia pointed far* ward to the day idien Ch^ the true High Priest was to make the perfoct and final atonement for sin by file sacrifice of Iflmself on Calvury*8 tree. The symboUe dress of the priest aad his consecration for his duties are all very instruetive, but ere do not have space to comment at length. Suffice it to say tiuU the one who is to serve in the conduct of die worship of God is to be a called, cleans^ and consecrated man, set apart for a holy calling and eager to be used of God to lead men into fi^ lowship with Him. From these first provisions for the worship of God we thus may| learn many of the high principles which are to guide the church re garding the call and separation of men to the ministry. The gift and grace of God shown in tiie man's character are far more important than inteUectual or social sttmding. n. God Provides a Place ef Wor ship (35:4-0, 20-29). The plan for the Tabernacle was given by God to Moses in much de tail A close study of it will bring rich reward. Although the plans wmre made by God (Ex^ 25-27), note that He gave to the people the privilege of pro viding the materials. Thc^ recog nized it as a high privilege and not a burden, and &ey came enthusias tically with their gifts. That thought bears application to the believer, for we know that (Sod stiU loves a cheerful giver (U Cor. 9:7). Those adm groan and grumble about the money and material needed for file wordiip of God have not caught file real spirit of C3iite* tian giving. The children of Israel brought more than enou^ of fiielr most ti^esured poesesnons and ef the la bor of fiieir hands; in fhct,/fiiey had te be told to stop (Exod. Ifitl-T)., Imagine having to tell people to stc^ glvinel That would be a noveMyl Ihi Tabernade was duly boOt,. and thus there was provided for la-i reel a place of meetng (Tabernade literally meane **tcift of meefing”), beautiful and aroropriate for fiieir days of sojourning in the wDdernees.
