When most people think of the Old Testament tabernacle, they picture an ancient tent,

distant and unfamiliar, something that feels far removed from everyday life.

But what if that sacred structure was actually designed by God to point us

directly to everything we have in Jesus Christ? In this study, fully furnished, finding all you need in Christ,

Scott invites us to step inside the tabernacle and discover that every detail from the altar to the

mercy seat was a divine preview of the Savior to come. Let's join Scott now. It has been

said that nobody spreads a table like mother spreads a table. I think there's a

great deal of truth in that.

There is something wonderful about going home, always something good to eat,

always something, even if it must be hastily prepared for company that is just pleasant

and enjoyable.

But I want to tell you today that as wonderful as family relationships are, there is a spiritual

relationship that excels them all. And as great as the family table is, and I recommend it

to you, get your family together, put all the mobile devices down, turn the television off,

have a meal together and talk. There is yet a greater table than that, and it is the table of

fellowship with our great God. We return today to the holy place and to this piece of furniture

known as the table of show bread. Now, we learned in our last study why show bread. It is literally the bread

of the face. It is to be brought right to the face of God and to fellowship with him. I want to

say to you today, this is a significant feature of this piece of furniture that the table is always set. Always. Can I take you back to the portion

of scripture that we read in our last study in Exodus chapter 25? There's a tremendous description

of every part of that table, but when you come to the last verse, verse number 30, the Lord says,

and thou shalt set upon the table show bread before me always.
