📖 Exodus 27: The Altar and the Courtyard / Exode 27 : L’Autel et le Parvis

"A God Who Desires Worship in Holiness"

Aim:
To understand how God instructs His people to approach Him with reverence, and how the altar and tabernacle courtyard reflect His provision for atonement and access.

🌟 God's Attributes in Exodus 27:

  • Holy: God sets sacred boundaries for worship.

  • Intentional: Every detail matters in God’s design.

  • Approachable (through sacrifice): God makes a way for His people to draw near.

📌 Facts:

  • The altar was made of acacia wood and overlaid with bronze.

  • The courtyard surrounded the tabernacle and was defined by specific dimensions.

  • The oil for the lamp was to be pure olive oil and was to be kept burning continually.

📖 Three Ps:

  • Promise: God's ongoing presence would dwell among the people through obedience and proper worship.

  • Principle: Holiness and reverence are required to approach God.

  • Prophecy: The altar foreshadows Christ, the perfect sacrifice for sin.

💡 Insights:

  • The altar of burnt offering was the first object one encountered, sacrifice comes before fellowship.

  • The courtyard represented a transition from the outside world into God’s holy dwelling, highlighting the process of sanctification.

  • The continual burning lamp reminds us that God’s presence and truth must be kept alive in our hearts.

✅ Application:

  • Begin each day at the “altar” in prayer and surrender.

  • Live with a constant awareness of God’s holiness and your access through Jesus.

  • Keep your spiritual lamp burning through time in the Word and worship.

🙌 Deed:

  • Set up a personal altar of daily devotion, offer your time, thoughts, and heart to God.

  • Give intentionally—of your resources, talents, or service, as a form of worship.

🙏Prayer:

Lord, thank You for making a way through the altar of Christ. May my life be a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to You. Keep my spirit burning with the oil of Your Word and Presence. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
