The Holiness of God
Read Exodus 26:33
Today’s Truth
There’s a ton we could talk about in Exodus 26 and pray according to. When you read this chapter, you just read a bunch of instructions for what the tabernacle should look like and how it should be set up. And if you read through it just in a superficial kind of cursory way, you’re like, “What does all that mean? Why is that all of that important? And what in the world is all that I have to do with my life?” But then you realize that every detail here is specific because every detail here matters specifically.
Discussion Questions
- Why are details so important to God?
- Why does God desire holiness for you and me?
- God is perfect in His holiness and distinct from our sinfulness. Why is that important?
Application
When Jesus, the God-man, fully God, fully man, fully perfect, fully holy, when He died on the cross to pay the price for your sins and my sins, the way was opened for you and me to enter into the presence of God for you and me to know the Most Holy, for you and me to be with the Most Holy one, for you and me to commune with God. Not based on our own merit, not based on our own works, our own goodness, based on the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross for us, based on His love, based on His grace, based on His mercy, not our merit. And you and I don’t ever lose sight of the glorious reality of what we’re doing when we’re praying. We’re communing with the Most Holy God.
