“Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the
LORD filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter into the
tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory
of the LORD filled the tabernacle.” Exodus 40:34-35.
The glory of the Lord God is that which distinguishes Him from all
others and all else. It is said of Him in Holy Writ “Who is like unto
Thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like Thee, glorious in holiness,
fearful in praises, doing wonders?” As there was no room for Moses in
the tabernacle because it was filled with God’s glory, there is no place
for man or the works of the law in the gospel of God’s grace or in the
salvation of the elect. The glory and wonder of God’s grace fills the
Lord Jesus Christ – “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,)full of grace and truth” John 1:14. This simple guide to
distinguish truth from error is perpetual and can never be wrong – ‘That
which gives God and His Son all the glory is the truth and that which
does not is a lie’. The message that is filled with Christ is full of
the glory of God and there is no room for anything else. The message
that enthrones man, his works and freewill leaves no room for Christ.
Man is unable to enter into the glorious work of God in Christ. There is
just no room! All the glorious virtues and attributes of God in Christ
permeate every aspect of the purpose of God in the redemption of
sinners. The Lord Jesus Christ is glorious, His righteousness is
glorious, His sacrificial death is glorious, His accomplishment is
glorious, and His position now as our Sovereign Great High Priest is
glorious in Holiness. My friend, if you have a problem with the message
that renders all the glory to God, your problem is with God and is far
greater than you can imagine. Tommy Robbins
