Exodus
38 We are Redeemed
On
the brazen altar the victim was offered, and sin was judged. This was the approach to God and any other
alter built anywhere else would have been blasphemy. The horns on the altar speak of strength –
the ability of Jesus Christ to save. The
laver was made from mirrors. The mirror
represents the Word of God. It is the
Bible that shows the believer his need for cleansing. The fine twined linen
speaks of the humanity of Christ, and it separated man from God.
The
life of Christ does not save us; it condemns us! It is the death of Christ that saves us. That is the reason the brazen altar was there.
Man cannot come into God’s presence until the sin question is settled. He had to come in through the gate. Christ has said that He is the way, the
truth, and the life. Christ also said
that if you are going to worship God, you will have to worship Him in spirit
and in truth. Man entered the Holy of
Holies through the veil which speaks of the life Christ gave up on the
cross. When He die, that veil was torn
in two from the top to the bottom, signifying that the way to God was now
open. The Jews brought silver because it
was the metal of redemption. Every
Israelite had to be redeemed to be acceptable.
We have been redeemed by the precious blood of Christ which is more
precious than silver or gold.
Every
individual will have to personally accept the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus. You must pay the redemption
price. The only condition is that you
must be thirsty. It is free. Salvation is free. It cost God everything. He gave His Son to die on the cross and to
pay the price of our redemption. We are
redeemed by His blood. It enables us to
come to God and to be accepted by Him through Christ.
