Bibledoorajar: Light and Perfection

      There was something added to the breastplate of the High Priest which gave both he and the people more confidence.  In a pouch of sorts was placed what the Word calls the Urim and the Thumin. Urim means light and Thumin means perfection. When the High Priest needed a word from God he used the Urim and Thumin to seek Him. In return he received light and perfection from God about things that mattered. One might say that the High Priest had "perfect light shed on the matter" at hand. It was a system that worked only if heavenly knowledge was sought and if the process was used. God was always near to the heart of the High Priest.
     Jesus has said He only does what the Father does. He carries Him in His heart and we know that through Him, our High Priest,  we have the Father's perfect light and perfection available to us at all times.  God wants us all to be saved and come into a knowledge of the truth. Jesus is the erfect light to show the way. We can ask Him to lead us into all truth and He has promised to do so. It is the Father's will.
     The High Priest of old would roll the Urim and the Thumin and through that process would know the Father's will. But Jesus had given us a much better way. If we don't have, it may because we we have not asked.
     As the old hymn says:
                          "Tis the grandest theme, let the tidings roll, to the guilty heart to the sinful soul.
                          Look to God in faith, He will make thee whole, Our God is able to deliver thee."

     If you are not sure about who can rescue you, consider the words of Jesus. "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." Light and Perfection.
