Today's encouragement comes from Exodus 29:43, where we read these words:
"And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by My glory."God always meets with His collected church in His "tabernacle," or "sanctu-ary.” Our Lord Jesus Christ has, in His resurrected and glorified body, "enter-ed" this perfected realm in heaven (cf. Heb. 9:12 & 24). Now, because the God/Man has finished His work, and poured out His Spirit on His New Cove-nant Church, the sanctuary is manifested all over the face of the earth.
God dwells in heaven, in humble hearts, and in holy Sabbath (Sunday) con-vocations. Let us be sure to avail ourselves of our access to Him, in and through Christ—and let us be careful to always approach Him by grace through faith.
