Wed.’s Devo - Our Fellowship With God

Read Lev. 7:28-9:6, mark 3:31-25, Ps. 37:12-29, Pr. 10:5 The fellowship offering is voluntary and different from the other sacrifices. The breast is taken and waved before the Lord as if to entice God with its aroma to come and dine. There are many things we fellowship with God in. We fellowship in his sufferings, in ministering to the saints, in our prayer time and in reading his Word, just to name a few. 1 John 1:7 says, “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.” Our fellowship with God and fellow believers cleanses us from sin. When Moses anointed the priests and dressed them for service it was a picture of what God did when Jesus entered heaven after he had been crucified. Jesus became our High Priest forever. Once he was put in place the rest of heaven was cleansed. The priest was a priest for life and could never live a common life. His life was poured out to minister to God for the people. Jesus was the same way. When his mother and brothers came to him for special privileges He made it clear that all were the same to him. He wasn’t negating his love for his family, he was extending that love to his whole family. The priest performed duties that were symbolic of something much bigger than they perceived. Jesus told parables that were much bigger than what the people perceived. BUT…the parables were explained to the disciples. If we are God’s disciples, then the Old Testament will be explained to us by the light of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the lamp that gives light to the whole house. If you use what you understand, then you will be given more revelation. Lord, may we walk in the light you have given us.
