Did that lamp for your living room cost a lot? Consider this: The lampstand for the Tabernacle would cost around 1.7 to 2.2 million dollars just in gold in today's economy. Talk about not sparing any expense. That is amazing and that is just for the lights. For me, this is a reminder that when it comes to the work of God there are absolutely times when we shouldn't worry about how much we spend. Jesus in the money spent anointing him didn't offend Him, so there is a time we shouldn't worry about the cost but just be willing to pay it. Yes, the Bible does speak about sharing wealth with those in need and not hoarding it, but this isn't hoarding this was creating something for God's glory at His command.
Another thing that this reminds me of is the cost that God paid to bring the light to the world. It cost him, everything,.It cost Jesus everything but He found it worth it. Thank God that He is willing to pay the price to bring us light.
