One Year Bible: Day 78 - Numbers 7:66-9:14; Luke 2:41-52; Psalm 35:11-18
At
the time of the book of Numbers, worship took place in the Tent of
Meeting. By the time of Jesus, worship took place in the Temple. The
Passover was being celebrated in the Desert of Sinai in the days of
Moses. The Passover was being celebrated in Jerusalem in the days of
Jesus. The important thing is not the place where we worship. It is the
Person whom we worship. In Luke 2:49,
Jesus says, “Didn’t you know that I had to be in My Father’s House (or
about My Father’s business)?” The important thing is being in the centre
of the Father’s will. Many are in the Father’s House, but they are not
about the Father’s business. We need both – in the Father’s House and
about the Father’s business. When we say, with the Psalmist, “I will
give thanks in the great assembly; among throngs of people I will praise
You” (Psalm 35:18),
it must not be mere words, being in the place of worship without being
in the spirit of worship, uttering the words of worship yet missing the
power of worship. True worship is always more than just words. It is an
offering of ourselves to the Lord.
