Topic: The Tabernacle of God 368
Scripture: But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say not of this building. (Heb 9:11)
Note: 2Cor 5:1, “For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” Living in a multicultural world with diverse beliefs and diverse faiths, coexisting in an environment with addiction to pluralism without limits, without boundaries, without identity and conviction, is breeding a new world of people without spine and conviction in a world that has become the playing ground of the god of this world (2Cor 4:4).
Christian believers are even getting caught up in this new age of philosophically keeping abreast with the new things of the times at the expense of the word of God, their faith and conviction in the God that incarnated the flesh, condescended in His Majesty and Glory, and became fully Man. Through this inglorious experience of living in the flesh and getting tempted in all manner of ways just like man, yet without sin, He’s able to function as our High Priest and Intercessor before the Father, day and night.
The subsequent life, death and resurrection from the dead by Jesus Christ isn’t a myth. The historical proof, records and accounts on the life of Jesus Christ, show more evidence than the fact that some of the well known military leaders like Julius Caesar ever lived. His singular mastery over death and the grave which He promised before His death, culminating in His eventual resurrection from the dead, is a summary of His matchless human nature and a confirmation of His Divine identity.
The ongoing worthless arguments on the advantages of pluralism, fade miserably in comparison before the incontrovertible evidence of the raising of Lazarus from the dead and the grave, after four days of burial. That spectacular demonstration of what He was going to do after His death, amplified the claim of Jesus Christ to being the Resurrection and the Life. Two unparalleled demonstrations of power over death, answered the lingering question that had been nagging man since the time of Adam. The proof of Christ went beyond mere philosophy, conjecture and assumptions of life after death, to that of the revelation of the truth.
Food for thought: Jesus Christ is the only hope for man in a confused, miserable and dying world.
Declaration: Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Col 2:8
