21 Day (Jesus + YOU) Challenge: Day Eleven

Hebrews 9:6-15

The writer was describing the Tabernacle of Moses and the limitations of the earthly service and the new Heavenly Sanctuary. For those who don’t know, the Tabernacle pointed to Christ, God, and the Holy Spirit in so many different ways. Each piece, color, and fabric represented and foretold of the coming messiah and ultimate sacrifice for mankind. For example, over the tabernacle there were 4 coverings; Fine Linen, Goats Hair, Rams Skin Dyed Red, and Badger’s Skin.

Fine Linen represents Righteousness of God
Goats Hair (Black) represents sin
Rams Skin Dyed Red represents the blood of Christ
Badger’s Skin represents Christ humanity (Did not look pretty to the eye)

Christ chose to be birthed into this world; not as royalty or someone in high standing but a man of low standing – who looked homely (Badger’s Skin). 33 years later He was crucified on the cross of Calvary for our sins, so that we can be made righteousness before God (Rams Skin Dyed Red). That blood now covers our sins (Goats Hair) and makes us white as snow – righteousness before God (Fine Linen).

Fascinating, right? I think so. And that is just a small bit of information the Tabernacle signified.

Hebrews 3:1-15

I like how it says in verse 6 that we are the house of the Lord if we take hold and not let go of the confidence and rejoicing of hope; firm to the end. Hope is defined as “a feeling of expectation and desire for a thing to happen” and “a feeling of trust.” As children of God, He makes us his dwelling place…His living tabernacles…that carries God’s presence wherever we tread. Yet it says that we must be confident and rejoicing in the Lord; trusting in Him to the fullest.

The Word also says that, as children of God, we must not go astray in our hearts but stay strong in faith; not moving to the left or right but staying on course.
