About this listen
Exodus #13
The Ten Commandments and the Tabernacle are two aspects of the same reality. We cannot live the Ten Commandments without the Tabernacle.
"Amen, amen, I say to you: unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood you have no life in you," So said Our Lord in the sixth chapter of the Gospel of Saint John. He, who is the fulfillment of the law and the reality the tabernacle foreshadowed, joins both in His Person and gives us his body to eat and his flesh to drink, so that we may be able to keep the law and live by his life.
This is the penultimate meaning of the law and the tabernacle. Together, they point and reflect the glory of the Son of Man. The Law alone is of no use to us for we cannot keep it. The tabernacle alone is not enough, for we need the moral compass of the Law. Put together, joined as they were joined by the Lord, they form a diptych pointing to Jesus. Understanding them helps us to obey the Lord.
