“The glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle” (Exodus 40:34-35).
There is, however, an even greater demonstration of God’s glory - in
Christ. Concerning Christ, God says, “This is my Son, whom I love.
Listen to Him!” (Mark 9:7).
The glory of God, revealed through the ministries of Moses and Elijah
(the law and the prophets), was nothing compared with the glory of the
Lord Jesus Christ (Mark 8:8). The Psalmist says, “Lord, I love the house where You live, the place where Your glory dwells” (Psalm 26:8). Why do we go to the House of the Lord? - “in the great assembly I will praise the Lord” (Psalm 26:12).
What God did for His people, Israel, was very great. There is a striking contrast between their slavery in Egypt and their abundance in the promised land. God had multiplied His blessing upon them, just as Jesus did when He turned water into wine (John 2:1-11). If the blessing is to be maintained and increased, we must honour the Lord. We must cry to Him for blessing: "Hear my prayer, O God, listen to the words of my mouth." We must call upon Him with faith: "Surely God is my help; the Lord is the One who sustains me" (Psalm 54:2,4).
