Glory Revealed

Exodus 29:44 "So I will consecrate the Tent of Meeting and the altar and will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests. 45 Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God.

Consecration is quite the process. I am afraid that 'cheap grace' has lessened the awareness of the VALUE of the sacrifice, or the ease with which we 'enter the presence of the Lord' I was humbled/broken this morning...when reading this passage know the amount of blood that was present when Consecrating the Altar...and the Temple...then Aaron and his sons. The blood of Christ is the once and for all atonement for all of us since his resurrection... and it was more precious that that of the young bull or the two rams.

God thank you for dwelling among us...and making us your people. Forgive me when I simply throw out cheap grace...it is free to us..but it definately cost you greatly.

John 2 AFTER THE WATER TO WINE 11This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.

JOHN 1 Jesus is recognized and is said to be full of grace and Truth. John two Jesus reveals his glory...to his disciples and a few servants. I wonder if the servants and the disciples were the same people . ...so that...Jesus only revealed his glory to them.

As minor a miracle as this (Water to Wine) may seem....it was THE miracle that "revealed Christ's glory" to his disciples. In our own walks...we have the miracles where Christ revealed his glory to us...and whatever that may have been, a time at camp, a humbling event, work situations, an alter call at a revival or a special time alone in your bedroom where the presence of the God was there......Christ revealed his glory to you and me...and we put our FAITH in him.
