“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).
Psalm 48:1-14 Lord, we worship You in the place of worship – “Within Your Temple, we meditate on Your unfailing love.” Help us to go out from there, and play our part in seeing that Your praise “reaches to the ends of the earth” (Psalm 48:: 9-11). How will other people know of Your love, if we don’t tell them? How will they find their way to Your House, if we don’t invite them? When we share Your Word with others, help us to remember Your promise: “My Word … will not return to Me empty, but will … achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).
