The Living Tabernacle – The Ark and the Mercy Seat

Preacher:
Passage: John 20:1-18

After showing us the other major features of the tabernacle – the altar, the laver, the twelve loaves, the menorah and the altar of incense – where is the Holy of Holies and within it, the ark with the law inside it, and the mercy seat above it? Where are the cherubim overshadowing the mercy seat? Nor do we find an account of the veil being torn in two in John's gospel (as in the other three gospels), but is it there?  Yes, we find it all in the open grave and the resurrected Savior! Come see the living tabernacle in Christ on that Sunday following his crucifixion.
