Exodus 29: The Price of a Ticket to Paradise

October 13, 2017 By Peter Krol

Unfortunately, circumstances prevent me from writing a regular Bible study on Exodus 29. Illness and busyness have conspired to empty my time tank to its dregs.

Providentially, I preached a sermon earlier this year on the very chapter of Exodus I was due to write about today. So I eagerly refer you to my church’s website for a recording. Scroll down to Exodus 29 for the sermon du jour. Or click here for a direct link.

For a taste:

A ticket to God’s paradise is costly. In particular, it requires:

  1. An Approved Man in Approved Garments – Ex 29:1-25
  2. Eating Approved Food – Ex 29:26-34
  3. In an Approved Place – Ex 29:35-44

These three categories summarize the entire Old Testament sacrificial system. So the New Testament uses the same three categories to describe our new position in Christ.

As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 2:4-5)
