The Tabernacle #5 The Hangings of the Court Mondays With Pastor Ryan

Within the innermost part of the Tabernacle lies the Most Holy Place. Right outside of that is the Holy Place. Then, just outside of that is the court. The court is made by setting up a perimeter of pillars in the sandy ground and then hanging the hangings of the court. The south side of the court is 100 cubits long. The north side is 100 cubits long. The east side is 50 cubits long. And the west side is 50 cubits. The hangings, which wrap around the entire court, are made of fine white linen. Every part of the Tabernacle portrays Jesus Christ. The hangings of the court represent the white, clean, and righteous character of Jesus Christ.

Even though people today say that they believe that Jesus died on the cross, they are unable to believe that He made them righteous through His death on the cross. They fear proclaiming their righteousness in front of God. What the Bible wants to tell us is that because Jesus achieved righteousness for us through dying on the cross, we must come boldly before God by believing the fact that Jesus has made us righteous. People who have the righteousness of Christ no longer labor to build their own righteousness. The same way the linen is used for both the hangings of the court that wrap the entire Tabernacle and the garments of the priests, the righteousness of Jesus is the same as the righteousness we now have through Him—that is why God can joyfully accept us.
