The Ark of the Covenant: Crafted for God’s Glory #shorts

January 2, 2022 By admin

The Ark of the Covenant is the most essential piece of furniture in the Israelite tabernacle or temple. Hebrews 9:4 says the Ark contained the tablets of the covenant, manna, and Aaron’s rod. It was one of the most instrumental symbols of faith and God’s presence. The Lord commanded Moses to build an ark of acacia wood, an excellent wood available in Sinai. At the time, the wood was also used as an offering to the Lord. “And they shall make an ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits shall be its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height. –Exodus 25:10, NKJV. Like the acacia used as an offering for the Ark of the Covenant, we, His greatest creation, may be a living offering to Him. #shorts #OfferingtoTheLord #ArkofCovenant #GodsTabernacle Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cHX0MwNp8M

Blood of Christ: The Promise of Eternal Life #shorts

Blood is a symbol of life. As Christians, we believe the blood of Christ has played an important role in our lives since the beginning. It gives us hope for eternal life. The blood of Christ atoned for our sins. It paid for the transgressions of all humanity. The Lamb of God freed everyone from the bondage of sin. The blood of Jesus serves as a reminder that Satan has already been defeated. Satan and sin have lost control of us. Instead, a promise of eternal life will be given to those who will follow and live a life of obedience. #shorts #HopeOfEternalLife #TheBloodofJesus #LambofGod Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-fUodCuCZU

Monday: Jesus Is Our Mediator

January 2, 2022 By admin

An interesting concept of the Old Testament theology is that the promised Davidic King would represent the nation before God.

Compare Exodus 4:22-23 with 2 Samuel 7:12-14; Deuteronomy 12:8-10 with 2 Samuel 7:9-11; and Deuteronomy 12:13-14 with Psalm 132:1-5, Psalm 132 11-14. What promises to Israel would be fulfilled through the promised Davidic King?

Israel was God’s son, and God would give them a place where they would rest from their enemies. God would also choose a place among them where His name would dwell. These promises for Israel would now be fulfilled through the promised Davidic King. He would be adopted as God’s son, God would give him rest from his enemies, and he would build a temple for God in Zion where God’s name would dwell. This means that God would fulfill His promises to Israel through the promised Davidic king. The Davidic King would represent Israel before God.

The insertion of a representative in the relationship between God and Israel made the perpetuation of their covenantal relationship possible. The Mosaic covenant required the faithfulness of all Israel to receive God’s protection and blessings (see Joshua 7:1-13). The Davidic covenant, however, secured God’s covenantal blessings upon Israel through the faithfulness of one person, the Davidic King.

Unfortunately, for the most part the Davidic kings were not faithful, and God could not bless Israel as He wanted. The Old Testament is filled with accounts of just how unfaithful many of those kings actually were.

The good news is that God sent His Son to be born as the Son of David, and He has been perfectly faithful. Therefore, God is able to fulfill in Him all the promises He made to His people. When God blesses the king, all his people share in the benefits. This is why Jesus is the Mediator of God’s blessing to us. He is the Mediator in that He is the channel through whom God’s blessing flows. Our ultimate hope of salvation is found only in Jesus and what He has done for us.

Think about how often you have been unfaithful to your end of the covenant. What does this teach us about how we must rely solely on Jesus for salvation?
