Adrien Rogers said all of the Bible is about Jesus and if you read the Bible and don’t see Jesus you’d better reread it because somewhere in the shadows you’ll find Jesus and that’s what we hope you’ll find in this series on the Tabernacle seeing Jesus in unexpected places these audio messages are presented as a companion piece to each chapter in the new book seeing Jesus in unexpected places from Love Worth Finding Ministries now with the message the golden lampstand Christ Our sight here’s Adrian Rogers and so we will begin reading now
in Exodus CH 25 beginning in verse 31 now before we read let me say what I started to say a moment ago there’s seven pieces of furniture in that Tabernacle and each of them speak of Christ and they also speak of salvation these seven pieces of furniture are arranged in a particular order so that they give us a pathway to Glory the first piece of furniture that we’ve already discussed was the Brazen altar where this animal sacrifices were made and where the blood was poured out that speaks of Christ Our sacrifice it
