Sermon Reflections

Moving forward in our Exodus series, we're exploring the Old Testament Tabernacle. From the gate to the altar, and now to the laver.

Once you enter the courtyard of the tabernacle, past the altar, there was a bronze washbasin. God instructed Aaron and his sons to wash themselves each time before they could enter the tent to minister. Even though the priests were specifically set aside for holy service, their position did not eliminate their need for washing!

You can be redeemed and still need cleansing. You can genuinely belong to Jesus and still need His transforming work. In 1 John 1:8, John warns: "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us." Some people know the church schedule, the songs, the language, and when to stand. But being in church for twenty years doesn't mean you've been letting Jesus change you for twenty years. God is continuously working in us and through us, so let Him!

The Word reveals what needs to be washed. The bronze basin was made from mirrors that were given by women who served at the meeting tent. The basin itself didn't function as a mirror, but it shows that God's Word reveals what is truly going on inside us. We hear a message about forgiveness, and keep the grudge. We hear about prayer, but never change our priorities. The Word of God isn't merely something to hear, but truth to obey.

Jesus doesn't just point out the dirt; He washes our feet. In John 13, we hear of Jesus, the Savior of the world, lowering Himself to wash the dirty feet of the disciples. Jesus was teaching us that Christ makes us His own, and He continues transforming those who belong to Him. You don't need Jesus to die again every time you stumble, but we must keep returning to Him in repentance, faith, and obedience.

You don't get clean so that Jesus will receive you. Come to Jesus so He can cleanse you!

This week, let's examine our own hearts, and come to Jesus for cleansing. What have you been hiding from God

Sermon Reflections

Taking our journey through the Old Testament Tabernacle, last week we talked about the gate... and this week we talked about the altar.

Once you've entered the gate to the Tabernacle, there was no avoiding the altar. A large, bronze box in the middle of the courtyard.

The altar was an important reminder: Sin is serious. It was not a piece of decorative furniture, but a place of sacrifice, for things to die. Sin isn't some minor mistake that God simply overlooks. Sin separates, corrupts, and destroys. But when you walked through the gates of the tabernacle, the altar was the stark reminder of the cost of our sin.

Jesus became the sacrifice. One day, years later, a strange preacher named John is baptizing people in the Jordan River. "Behold, the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world!" Sometimes, we picture the cross as though everything went wrong. Judas betrayed Him, the religious leaders accused Him, soldiers crucified Him... but Calvary wasn't God losing control. It was His plan of redemption. Unlike sacrifices offered at the tabernacle, this sacrifice wouldn't need to be repeated. "...we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." (Hebrews 10:10)

The altar changes how we worship. You don't come to the altar to earn forgiveness, because Jesus already paid for it. You don't need to sacrifice yourself as payment for your sins, because Jesus already became the ultimate sacrifice. We come to the altar because Jesus gave Himself for us... we now give ourselves to Him.

Today, we lay down ourselves on the altar. We lay down our lives, our plans, our children, our future... today we say "Jesus, there is nothing in my life that You don't have the right to touch." Today, we give Him everything.
