2 Chron 3:8a He built the Most Holy Place, its length corresponding to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.
I have a hard time wrapping my head around the significant changes in worship because of Jesus Christ. These passages remind me of the very specific boundaries between God and man, boundaries that could only be crossed by certain officials and only once a year.
2 Chron 3:8b-9 He overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold. The gold nails weighed fifty shekels. He also overlaid the upper parts with gold.
I am so incredibly thankful for my Savior, because of whom, I have the ability to “…come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most” (Heb 4:16). I am so thankful for the privilege, and I am so guilty of taking that privilege for granted at times.
2 Chron 3:10 For the Most Holy Place he made a pair of sculptured cherubim and overlaid them with gold.
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for the reminder that because of Your Son, I have the privilege of approaching Your throne. Help me to never lose sight of what a privilege and honor that is. Draw me closer. Amen.
2 Chron 3:14 He made the curtain of blue, purple and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim worked into it.
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
