Exodus 30:9 Do not offer on this altar any other incense or any burnt offering or grain offering, and do not pour a drink offering on it.
This morning, a small group of us celebrated Easter Sunday services just after sunrise on the porch of a beach house. It’s a tradition for this crew, and Jesus is just as present with us on the porch as He is at every sunrise service held in cemeteries and sanctuaries all around.
Exodus 30:10 Once a year Aaron shall make atonement on its horns. This annual atonement must be made with the blood of the atoning sin offering for the generations to come. It is most holy to the Lord.”
That, to me, is the beauty of God, of Jesus, of my relationship with the Trinity. We no longer have to have these rigid, specific ceremonies and sacrifices. God is with us, always. Jesus is with us, always–on the mountain tops, in the valleys, in cemeteries and churches and on the porch at the beach. He is risen. He is risen indeed.
Exodus 30:11-12a Then the Lord said to Moses, “When you take a census of the Israelites to count them, each one must pay the Lord a ransom for his life at the time he is counted.
Precious Savior, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Hallelujah, You are risen. Amen.
Exodus 30:12b Then no plague will come on them when you number them.
Have a blessed day.
