You are to receive the offering for me from everyone whose heart prompts them to give敬拜

Exodus 25:1-9

The Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites to bring me an offering. You are to receive the offering for me from everyone whose heart prompts them to give. These are the offerings you are to receive from them: gold, silver and bronze; blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen; goat hair; ram skins dyed red and another type of durable leather[a]; acacia wood; olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; and onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breast piece.

“Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them. Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.

God has brought the nation out of Egypt. He has set out the terms of his covenant and they have been agreed. Now, as a visible sign that these are his people, he gives Moses instructions to make him a special tent; God is to have a home-like theirs and live among them.

Why?

God likes to live among his people, so God instructed Moses what offering should bring to the Lord, and the pattern of the tabernacle has to follow. Then God will live among his people.

Because the Lord loves his people so God likes to live among his people, Actually, it shows the love of the Lord come upon us.

The Lord needs is our heart to fully devote ourselves to the Lord, for this love has to be holy and pure.

建造會幕的人是誰?所有以色列人。不是單單摩西的責任，長老的責任。每個人都有份。神的同在是每個人都同在。建造教會是每個弟兄姊妹的責任。

建造的材料來源，來自全民，沒有牛半等，預備敬拜的場地，用敬拜的方式來預備場地。預備心來敬拜就是敬拜了。沒有建造以前的奉獻，就沒有會幕來敬拜，沒有會前的敬拜，就沒有公共的敬拜。

材料的內容：金，銀，銅。金：尊貴，銅：外院器具，人的價值。木材：皂莢木，實用的，寶石。三色線代表基督的榮耀。細麻布：純正、潔淨。染紅的公羊皮：耶穌的寶血，海狗皮不好看，耶穌的沒有佳形美容。會幕建造目的在彰顯神的同在，是我們到神面前的一條路。

建造的方式，要照神指示的樣式。不可按自己的想法來造，若是神有指示的不可更改，這條路是神開的，不是按照人的方式。敬拜不是照自己習慣、喜好、方便、時間，而是按照神的方式、時間。按照神的真理來敬拜。敬拜是要討神的喜歡，不是討人的喜歡。禮物是要有規範的。
