Tabernacle Lectures (15) The Bronze Sockets

The bronze that appears in the tabernacle is pointing to the judgment. The sockets of the tabernacle were made with bronze, the altars were made of bronze, and the lavers were made of bronze as well. Everything in the tabernacle, until you entered the Most Holy Place, were made of bronze. After living spiritual life in the Holy Place, we can go even deeper into the Most Holy Place, where we can see gold and silver. But the more a person is new at spiritual life, the more often their hearts must collide with the bronze.

Like how the altar is bronze and the laver is bronze, we have to often come in contact with the judgment that Jesus received for us. He suffered, carried the cross, and died. That way, we realize in our hearts that all the sins inside us have already been judged, so they are dead sins. We must be freed from sins and be able to enjoy freedom.

The strongest thing that can shake our faith is sin. It is easy for sin to constantly shake our faith, but when we look at the judgment that paid the price of our sins through the blood of the cross, our sins have already been judged and they have lost their effect. When we stand strong on the faith to believe in the cross of Jesus Christ who has received the judgment for us, we become workers who can be used by God as precious pillars.
