Tabernacle Lectures (26) The Colors of the Door

Jesus came and lived on this earth. Man had left God and made his own religion, but Jesus went against the flow of man’s religion. The colors of Jesus were always different from the colors of man, so Jesus could only be cast out and despised. Jesus Christ did not compromise even a little bit with the religions of this world, so he became a “stumbling block” and “offensive rock” to them. The stumbling block and offensive rock is not something that comfortably makes people a part of God; it breaks them to make them a part of God.

Man has truly walked on the sinful path all the time he was apart from God. He has lived a life that has strayed away from God. Man is bothered by his conscience after he commits a sin, so he made religion. Some of these people call on Jesus’s name, but if their hearts were not broken and they did not receive the forgiveness of sins, then it is just a big religious group. It has nothing at all to do with Jesus Christ.

Like the colors of the door of the tabernacle, Jesus lived with completely different colors from the religious people and big celebrities of this world. So wherever he went, people could easily tell he was different from others and he was rejected. It is the same way today. People who truly belong to Jesus have different colors from the people of the world, so they are left out and despised.
