Man in His Place

ost commonly, man will exalt himself and take too much upon himself, therefore the Bible gives us scriptures like this: “We have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man” (He.8:1-2). They remind us that man is limited to the temporal and earthly, whereas the Lord’s work is eternal.
There was no greater individual in Jewish history than Moses. Jesus belittled Moses discipleship in His day, “It is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven” (Jn.6:32). According to biblical principal, only that is true, which endures forever. Moses’ manna, essential as it was for that one generation, failed the test, ceasing when the Israelites crossed Jordan.
