Exodus 27 · Grade 4
The Way to God
Read and Think
The bronze altar was the first thing a person saw inside the gate. Sacrifices were offered there. It showed that sin is serious and must be dealt with before we can come to God.
The courtyard had only one gate. There was only one way in. In the New Testament, Jesus calls himself the door (John 10:9) and the way (John 14:6).
The lamp burned all through the night. God's people were to keep His light shining. In the New Testament, Jesus calls his followers the light of the world (Matthew 5:14).
