city. Literally thousands of young and old alike are attending universities.

I WAS IN PRISON, AND YOU CAME TO ME (Matthew 25:36c)
"My testimony to my Christian Brothers and believers in Jesus Christ our
Savior. I want to thank the Lord for saving me from the life I was once
leading. First of all, I was living in darkness and I thought that I truly
loved the way I was.

1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the
LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall
not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent,
We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of
the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not
eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said
unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day
ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods,
knowing good and evil.

God has always dealt with sin through the
God has always dealt with sin through the
shedding of blood. The Tabernacle was God's remedy for
the nation of Israel. They had sinned and the Tabernacle
was their way back to God. We must keep in mind that
neither Israel nor any other nation in the Old or New
Testament was saved by bringing a sacrifice. The
bringing of sacrifices was but an evidence of faith in
God's Holy Word, for it is by faith that we are saved,
and not by works.
In today's reading Moses is gathering together
all the congregations of the children of Israel and
giving them the words of the Lord. God began with a
reminder about the Sabbath Law, and then He asked the
people for an offering. You may note in these chapters
that every little detail of the Tabernacle is mentioned,
even the pins and the cords. Nothing is too trivial for
the Lord to see and know. Matthew 10:30 tells us that
even the hairs of our head are numbered. Everything that
is done is important to the Lord, and He does everything
in full detail.
In verses 4-19 of chapter 35 Moses calls for
materials, and the people depart to bring their
offerings to Moses. They brought their wealth and
abundance, "much more than enough," as we see in chapter
36:5. The gifts were so generous that Moses had to stop
the people from bringing them. Two men, Bezaleel and
Aholiab, were called of God to give of their labors. God
empowered them, by His Spirit, to do the job He had
called them to do. What a lesson for us today! God truly
has a work for each of us, and we should remember that
whatever God demands, He will supply. I want to repeat
that statement, because it is so true and applies to any
work that God requires of us. WHATEVER HE DEMANDS, HE
WILL SUPPLY. It is also very interesting to note that
Bezaleel was from Judah, the first tribe, and Aholiab
was from Dan, the last tribe. God not only picked the
first, but the last.
