Before the Infinite pt.3

Passage: Exodus 30

Background:

1. The curtain in v. 6 is the one that separates the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple. Once a year, the high priest entered into the Holy of Holies to meet with God and to make the atoning sacrifice for the rest of Israel (v.10).

Questions and Comments:

1. Each one of us has a debt, or ransom, to pay (v. 12). It's important to note that both the rich and the poor pay the same amount. The money isn't literally buying yourself into favor with God, but it serves as a symbol for the ransom that needs to be paid for sin.
2. The perfumer is the one who makes the sacred anointing oil and incense. What has God gifted you with that you can use to serve Him and the Kingdom?
