Why was tabernacle worship a burden and a yoke to the children of Israel?
Tabernacle worship was a burden and yoke because everything had to be done exactly right, and its human priests died and had to be replaced, with the ritual repeated year after year. It could never provide the once-for-all finished work and eternal redemption that Christ accomplished for believers.
Les explains that all the aspects of tabernacle worship were for the children of Israel a burden and a yoke. Everything had to be done just exactly right. The high priest pre-typed Christ as our high priest, but those priests were human; they died, and others had to come in and take their place. The ritual was exercised year after year after year. By contrast, the finished work of Christ, as Hebrews says, is once: He did it once and obtained eternal redemption for us. Les urges people never to lose sight of this and to help friends and neighbors understand it. In Romans 3, Paul shows that Christ is our propitiation if we believe, declaring His righteousness. He has done it all; He is the whole tabernacle. Believers today are free from all that because Christ has done it all on their behalf.
