#bible study with #jairus #leviticus 24: We should keep our spirit of lamp in flame

Leviticus 24 begins with the Lord commanding Moses to let the Israelites bring olive oil to him to make the lamps burn continually (which Aaron is in charge of doing). So what the Lord commanded Moses to let Aaron do is actually a picture of our fellowship with the Holy Trinity in the New Testament. The human spirit is created by the Lord. It’s where the Spirit of God dwells in us, and also the lamp of the Lord. This lamp enables us to maintain fellowship with God, receive illumination from Him, enables us to live a holy life, and prevents us from committing sin. We know that the Old Testament is a foreshadow of the New Testament’s reality. So here, Leviticus 24 is a very good picture representing the reality of the New Testament. As Christians we should always pray in the spirit to keep our spiritual light shining before God. We often have very little time to pray because we get so busy with our daily lives, so our prayer life is slowly neglected. There is a famous spiritual man who said, “No fixed time of prayer is no life of prayer.” I think this really makes sense because we live in the flesh. If we don't offer our bodies and set a specific time to pray, it will be difficult to maintain a life of prayer.
