The Table of Shewbread: (continued)
I. Ex 25:23-30; Lev 24:5-9; Num 4:7-8
A. Located on the north side, made of incorruptible wood,
covered with pure gold.
Human and divine side of Christ.
B. Table and shewbread are to be considered as one.
He upheld the Jews and he holds the Church.
Perfect support. Amen. 1 Con 10:17; 2 Con 11:24.
We rest upon Him. ________
C. The table is the center of union for the priests only. Lev 24:9;Rev 1:6;
I Peter 2:5; Heb 13:5.
D. The table was the center of daily nourishment for the priest's family only.
Lev 24:9; John 6:33; John 4:48-51. A thing grows by what it feeds on.
This bread was ground between the upper and lower millstones.
Frankincence was placed upon it before it was eaten, Thank you.
E. The table was in the center of fellowship for priestly family only,
no other place to gather, no other bread to eat, and no other reason to meet.
All other gatherings are false
and all other reasons for meeting are false.
Note: Here the priest came together. Here they found unity.
Here they came into close and happy union with others.
They came into close union with one another,
because they were gathered at the same table, eating the same bread,
to have harmony in the assembly of Christ.
It is necessary to be occupied with him.
Only as we get close to Christ do we get close to one another.
Let a Church be taken up with Christ,
with the Glory of His eternal past,
the wonder of His redeeming in heaven now,
and the assurance of His eminent coming.
Let a Church think Christ, talk Christ, love Christ, and serve Christ.
Where each shall have the same mind,
the mind of Christ, be at one in Christ,
where you live like this then that church will have her fruit of the Spirit.
Fruit of the Spirit: Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law. Gal 5:22
