Exodus (Program #121) – The Priestly Garments (6) Heavenliness, Kingliness, and Redemption

The New Testament is full of plain words concerning Christ, our experience of Christ and the church.  But the details of these items are actually more clearly seen in the Old Testament in such books as Genesis and Exodus.  The preciousness of our dear Lord Jesus for example is clearly portrayed in the details of the priestly garments, that is if you know where to look.  Don’t miss the preciousness of Christ on today’s life study of the Bible.

Exodus (Program #120) – The Priestly Garments (5) The Priestly Garments (5) Breastplate and Onyx Stones

In Genesis, God created man from the dust of the ground.  Soon after He placed man by a river.  By the flow of the river were precious stones.  Though man was made of dust, his destiny in God’s plan is to become something so precious; not precious dust, but precious stones.

Exodus (Program #118) – The Priestly Garments (3) Beauty and Glory

If we happen to be on the street in our city and find ourselves in trouble, we would immediately turned to someone wearing a uniform.  There is something about what the uniform expresses that qualifies the person wearing it.  He or she has instant credibility by virtue of what they express.  What do we express?  Can people see Christ within by looking at our outward expression?

Of all the major items presented to man in the Bible, perhaps none is as misunderstood and mysterious as the church.  Of course, to most people, the church is quite simple; it’s the building on the street corner.  Others though have seen more, that the church is not the physical building at all but is really composed of all the believers, the people of God.  But the revelation doesn’t stop here.  We are going to see a clear and wonderful picture of the church, God’s building.
