Laboring and Witnessing for Christ in the World

This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of meeting, relating to the most holy things: When the camp prepares to journey, Aaron and his sons shall come, and they shall take down the covering veil and cover the ark of the Testimony with it. Then they shall put on it a covering of badger skins, and spread over that a cloth entirely of blue; and they shall insert its poles.
Numbers 4:4-6 NKJV

Laboring and Witnessing for Christ in the World
Read Numbers 4:1-15. Although different from one another, the functions of the Kohathites, the Gershonites, and the Merarites were all in respect to the tabernacle. They had to take it down, to transport it, and to re-erect it stage after stage through the wilderness. If there are "differences of ministries" (1 Cor. 12:5), all are in relation to Jesus, our Lord, and each believer has in fact the same duty: to present Christ while passing through this world and to show forth His various moral glories. In word and in work, the Lord's servants are responsible to maintain Christian teaching intact and alive.

In the course of their movements across the wilderness, most of the furnishings were hidden under the humble badger skin, reminding us that believers have their treasure, Christ, "in earthen vessels" (2 Cor. 4:7). There was one exception: the ark, beneath its cloth all of blue, a symbol of the heavenly character of the God-Man walking here on earth. The lampstand on its carrying beam (Num. 4:9-10) was recognizable by all, a figure of the clear witness rendered in the world by Him who is the Light of it. And the brazen altar, under its cloth of purple (v. 13), is a continual reminder to the redeemed, passing through the world, of the sufferings of Christ and of the glories that shall follow.

-- J. Koechlin

"A little while"—He'll come again; let us the precious hours redeem,

Our only grief to give Him pain, our joy to serve and follow Him.

Watching and ready may we be, as those that wait their Lord to see.

UNCOVERING EVIL

The presence of the supernatural power of God in a church can take that church beyond limits.
It can also uproot the presence of evil in the midst of Gods children. In Acts 5, a couple were uprooted through this. If we are going to sanitise the church, we need the Holy Spirit. Just as we need Him to heal, save...More
