Jesus 1st leads us to Isaiah 60 which is another scripture that talks about a future freedom in Israel. A future that as Jesus sais " I will make thee a eternal excellency a joy of many generations ". How do we get to that point , by following the instruction of Jesus. Jesus leads us into Exodus 25 where he begins to instruct the children of Israel on how to be build that Ark of the Covenant & its central piece the Mercy seat by 1st making an offering. This takes place right after the children of Israel are given the law and Moses copies the laws down in the book of the law (their early Bible) and they are sanctified and sprinkled with the blood of the sacrifice, creating the 1st covenant. Moses is given these instructions on Mount Sinai & again the 1st instruction is to take an offering for god of the things that were given to them by the Egyptians. The Gold , the Silver , the Brass , the precious stones , fabric and fine linen. Jesus instructs us now to do so many things and just like how we read in the words of the Bible it is up to us to come into agreement with those instructions and to do them, to do the will of God. Amen


 
 
 

Jesus leads us to take a look at his presence & his will in Exodus 23 & 24 . He leads us to review Exodus 23 , along with the book of Matthew & the Sermon on the mount. These 2 Books in the Old testament and New testament allow us to understand the will of Jesus himself. Looking at the old Law & the New Testament laws of the heart we gain a clearer understanding. When we read in Exodus 23 about not oppressing a stranger we see the same idea expressed in Matthew 5. Jesus talks about not just loving our neighbors but loving our enemies too & treating everyone with kindness, this is the same thing Jesus spoke about in the old testament we just have to open up our minds and hearts to see it. The strangers or other nations were sometimes considered our enemies in the old testament. In Exodus 24 we read that Moses , Joshua , Nadab , Abihu and 70 elders of Israel are instructed by God to journey up mount Sinai. They then meet God and in verse 10 it sais they saw the God of Israel, and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone. Jesus leads us to see the same thing Reflected in Ezekiel chapter 1 with the description of a firmament or surface that is under the throne of Jesus and that his throne is also made of Sapphire. These are signs and characteristics of the presence of Jesus himself. Read pray and seek along with us. Amen.

We watched this video about mount Sinai. towards the end (below)




 
 
 


In this Sermon Jesus leads us to Matthew 16 and Ezekiel 3 & the call of a prophet in the past and this day and age. Jesus speaks to us in Ezekiel about the prophet being sent not to people of a hard & strange language but a familiar one. That if he sent him out to a people of a strange tongue or language the word would be heard. But he has sent him to a people of familiar tongue or a familiar language and they dont listen and they dont listen to Jesus. He goes onto to say they have a stiff neck. Reflecting on where Jesus takes us too sometimes we are around our family or people that we know and the word Jesus gives us they cant hear. But to strangers they can here us just like john the Baptist screaming Repent Repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand to come. As Jesus leads us into Exodus 20 21 & 22 we Reflect on the Kingdom ,the 10 commandments & the old commandment that is the commandment the Jesus Paul and Peter mentioned that we love each other and that we love our neighbor.
