NUMBERS CHAPTER 18
Memory Verse
Behold, I Myself have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel; they are a gift to you, given by the Lord , to do the work of the tabernacle of meeting.
Numbers 18:6 NKJV
God's Word
God gave us a gift that will help us to do His will. During the time of Moses, the LORD separated Aaron and his sons to do the Priesthood tasked, and God gave the Levites as a help for them.
It means that a gift from the Lord will always be a help coming from Him.
Because no one in this world can fulfill His commandments, even the Levites, the Lord sent His One and only Son as a gift for us, to help us not to be sentenced by a death penalty.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23 NKJV
God had given us a gift of eternal life through His Son Jesus, what we can do is to believe and not be perish .
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
John 3:16-17 NKJV
The Tabernacle of Meeting is where God's Presence occur. Also, the Greatest gift that we had, gave Himself for us to enter in the Presence of God, not only the Priest but all of us.
Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary. For a tabernacle was prepared: the first part, in which was the lampstand, the table, and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary; and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All, which had the golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant; and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail. Now when these things had been thus prepared, the priests always went into the first part of the tabernacle, performing the services. But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the people's sins committed in ignorance; the Holy Spirit indicating this, that the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing. It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience- concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation. But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
Hebrews 9:1-15 NKJV
