“A Sanctuary For Me”

The LORD said to Moses, "Tell the Israelites to bring me an offering. You are to receive the offering for me from everyone whose heart prompts them to give. These are the offerings you are to receive from them: gold, silver and bronze; blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen; goat hair; ram skins dyed red and another durable leather; acacia wood; olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; and onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.

"Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them. Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.

Exodus 25:1-9

Heaven is on earth. Have you ever watched a sunrise or sunset over the Grand Canyon? Have you ever seen Niagara Falls. Have you ever smelled the ozone from thunder and lightning? Have you ever smelled spring flowers? All these, and many many more are gifts from God. All of them are examples of Gods’ presence here on earth.

When Jesus ascended to heaven, He sent the Holy Spirit to indwell His followers, so that we would be God’s tabernacles and temples in the world.

We are God’s representatives and we should find ways to bring the peace and hope of heaven to others on earth.

A Christian who is willing to do the little things for others can do great things for the Lord.
