10Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes 11and be prepared by the third day, for on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.
Consecrate: “the separation of oneself from things that are unclean, especially anything that would contaminate one’s relationship with a perfect God.” Consecration also carries the connotation of sanctification, holiness, or purity.
“for on the third day the LORD will come down”
Do you notice the third day in this verse? I find it interesting how God uses certain timeframes.
Acts 10:40 God raised Him up on the third day and caused Him to be seen—
“as true believers in Christ, the act of consecration involves our lives being a living sacrifice to Him; we are totally separated from the defilement of the world.”
Are you a living sacrifice?
Blessings, David
