Holy & Sacred
“Now on the day that Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle, he anointed it and consecrated it with all its furnishings…” (Numbers 7:1)
When we view New Testament practices through the lens of Old Testament eyes, certain things stand out richer and holier – worship is one of those things. When Moses set up the tabernacle for worship, the words ‘consecrate’, ‘anoint’, and ‘dedication’ are littered throughout the text.
The picture that the early Jews had was that approaching the tabernacle was to be done reverently with a sense of holiness and the sacred. Though the temple has changed from the shadow of the Old Testament to the pure and elevated temple of the living church, we ought to carry with us the same sacred care as we approach God in worship. Worship is a consecrated, dedicated thing. Our hearts tread on holy ground when we approach our Father.
