But you need the holy water, the monstrance, the incense and the thing it is contained in...The prescious jewels and metals...The towels...All that STUFF...
Shot glasses and one of them grape juice dispensers are any less “Stuff”? And WHAT precious jewels? (and where can I get some?)
No, we don't.
Exodus 25-30 tells of God’s commandments regarding the Ark of the Covenant and the Tabernacle and worship regulations. Everything was made of gold and Aaron’s breastplate had twelve precious stones on it, which are also mentioned in Revelation as being the stones that the heavenly Jerusalem is made of. These chapters also give the directions for what kind of incense the Lord wishes to have, the types and kinds of furniture, the colors of the fabrics, and every little detail. The Lord God, who never changes, was concerned about these things then, so there is no reason to think He wouldn’t be concerned about them now. In addition, the Lord God, creator of heaven and earth, deserves the best that we can give Him. These things show our love for Him, just as when you love your spouse or children, you want to give them presents. These things of beauty are our presents to Him, our gift of worship.
