“Also King Solomon, and all the congregation
of Israel who were assembled with him before the ark, were sacrificing sheep
and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude. 13 indeed it came
to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be
heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice
with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord,
saying: ‘For He is good, For His mercy endures forever,’ that the house, the
house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, 14 so that the priests could not
continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the
house of God.” 2 Chronicles 5:6,13,14
Three thousand years ago, when Solomon dedicated the Temple to
God, the priests offered up thousands of sacrifices.
After the sacrifices were offered up -- then the glory of God
fell! The glory of God was so thick and heavy that the priests could no longer
minister!
Do you see the connection? First the offerings -- THEN the glory
fell!
But this reality is not found only in the Old Covenant; it's
also in the New Covenant.
After Messiah was sacrificed as the offering for the sins of the
world at Calvary -- came the resurrection, the Son of God, risen and glorified!
So clearly, there’s an integral relationship between sacrifice
and glory!
Can we see this relationship still operating even today? I
believe we can.
When we offer our bodies as living sacrifices; our future, our
plans, our possessions, and our lives, to the Lord -- His glory begins to be
revealed as His Spirit works in and through us.
Called by Him to be more and more like Yeshua (Jesus), the
people of God should be a people of sacrifice.
Do you want to see the glory of God filling every aspect of your
life?
Then lay your life upon the altar in surrender to His perfect
will -- you will watch in amazement as He takes your offering and turns it to a
beautiful testimony of His glory!
