The Door of the Tabernacle

And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.” (Ver. 28.) Christ is the door. He only is the way. No admittance but by the faith of him.
The Altar of Burnt Offering.
And he put the altar of burnt offering, by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the Lord commanded Moses. (Ver. 29.)
Christ, by the offering up of himself in all the purity and holiness of his nature as man, and as a sweet savor before God, and accepted by God, as witnessed by his resurrection from the dead, and his ascension to the right hand of his Father—Christ, once offered and forever accepted, is the one by whom communion with God is maintained, and communion also with the saints of God. And as the burnt, offering and meat offering were ever sending forth their sweet savor Godward on this altar, and in this appointed place of communion between God and his people, so the sweet savor of the name of Jesus ever secures the unbroken fellowship of saints with God and with each other. And this is according to God’s will.
The Laver.
And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water therein, to wash withal. And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat: when they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the Lord commanded Moses. (Ver. 30-32.) Practical sanctification is to be maintained by constant communication between the soul and Christ, who of God is made unto us sanctification. The washing of the hands and feet, the purification of the actions and course of life, and that by the faith of Christ, and by the power of the Spirit of God. The living water, flowing from the fountain head above, the throne of God and of the Lamb. This practical sanctification capacitates the believer to enjoy in living power the fellowship of saints, and to engage in the worship and service of God.
“As the Lord commanded Moses.” The seventh time this expression occurs in this connection, significant of the perfection of obedience, leading, as we shall see presently, to the perfection of blessing, and the fullness of glory.
The Court.
And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work. Showing the people 6f God separate from the world, even when not met together in church fellowship, having still God’s tabernacle and God’s altar as their center object, and Christ acknowledged as the only door and way.
“So Moses finished the work.” All was now ready.
