And you shall put into the ark the Testimony which I will give you. Exodus 25:16
The artisans were given instructions for building a container. A special container, for it would hold the Testimony of the Lord written by His hand on the stone tablets. We are often shown two big rocks carved in the shape of tombstones with large writing on them. It must be that someone thinks God is big so therefore He must write big and needs big tablets to write on. The thing written on these big stones is usually a list of ten commandments...in English. Was that the writing of God on those tablets? We cannot know by visual inspection at this time. However, there may be a different container made more recently by an artisan that we can hear from today. That container you may be familiar with, for it is you and me. All those who believe in Jesus become containers of His testimony. In fact we are all sent to spread His good news to all the nations. At this moment today, you and I are the containers God has made and we bear the testimony He has given of His Son, Jesus the Christ; the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
O lovely container of Christ's testimony, bear your light unto the world this day!
