💭 Consider this: All believers are part of a “royal priesthood” (1 Peter 2:9). How does this identity shape the way you live each day? If you examined your life today, would you say you are actively living as someone consecrated for God’s purposes? If not, what needs to change?
TRANSCRIPT
Our text for tonight's message is taken from Exodus 30:21-38. In our previous message, we learnt about the last piece of furniture for the Tabernacle: the brass basin which was located in the courtyard, just in front of the doorway to the Tabernacle. It was used by the priests for washing their hands and feet before they entered into the Tabernacle to perform their sacred duties. The washing of hands and feet was symbolic of their sanctification. Remember, they were already justified through the blood of the sacrificial animal. Positionally, they were already pure, cleansed, and justified. But practically, they still needed to be made pure, cleansed, and sanctified for the ongoing sins in their lives.
So, the Tabernacle was constructed; the priests were ordained. And they were now ready to serve and worship God in His Holy Sanctuary. But God required one more thing for them to do: the Tabernacle and the priest had to be anointed with oil. The purpose was to remind them that the Tabernacle was holy. And therefore, their services in the Tabernacle ought to be sacred and holy as well. And this is what we want to learn from this passage. The title of our message is ‘The Anointing Of Oil’.
I. The Command
Firstly, let us consider the command given to anoint the Tabernacle and the priest. Beginning with verse 22, Exodus 30, “Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying”. And God went on to speak about the composition of the oil, what it was made up of. Verse 23-24, “Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels, And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin”. Verse 25, “And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil”.
“[The] art of the apothecary” means the art of the mixer or the one who makes the perfume. This special blend of spices weighed about 40 pounds. And it was made up of expensive spices like myrrh, cinnamon, calamus, cassia, and olive oil. Ancient historical sources reveal to us the comprehensive process to obtain this holy ointment. The skilful mixer would have to pound, heat up, and compress this mixture of spices to obtain the fragrant oil.
Once the holy ointment was ready, it was applied directly to the Tabernacle and all the furniture. Beginning with the furniture inside the Most Holy Place. Then the furniture in the Holy Place. And finally, the furniture outside in the courtyard. That is why verse 26-29 said, “And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony”. This was the Ark of the Covenant inside the Most Holy Place.
Verse 27, “And the table and all his vessels, and the [candle] and his vessels, and the altar of incense”. These were the table of shewbread, the golden lampstand, and the altar of incense inside the Holy Place. Verse 28, “And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot”. These were the altar of sacrifice and the brass basin outside the courtyard. Verse 29, “And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever [touches] them shall be holy”.
The purpose of sprinkling oil on the Tabernacle and all the furniture — both inside and outside — was to sanctify and set them apart for the service of God. Since the service of God was holy, anyone who performed sacred duties on those items also had to be holy. The phrase “whatsoever [touches] them shall be holy” does not mean that anyone who touched the Tabernacle or the furniture would be supernaturally made holy as if holiness was contagious. You touch something and you can be holy all of a sudden. What it means is that they must be holy; they had to be sanctified or set apart first. Otherwise, they could not perform the sacred duties.
That was the reason why from the Tabernacle and the furniture, God moved on to speak about the priests that they too must be anointed with oil. Look at verse 30, “And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office”. And Moses must explain to the children of Israel the significance of this anointing. As verse 31 says, “And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations”.
Verse 32, “Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you”. They must only sprinkle the oil on the priest and not on anyone else. And they must not make any oil with the same formula and apply them for personal use. The penalty for violating this command was so serious that they would be excommunicated. And possibly even death. As verse 33 tells us, they “shall even be cut off from his people”. Once they had done that, finally God commanded Moses to make an incense with certain sweet spices like stacte, onycha, galbanum, and frankincense. And this concoction of spices would be placed before the Ark of the Covenant. We all know the Ark of the Covenant represented the presence of God.
In other words, after they had obeyed the command to sanctify and set apart the Tabernacle, the furniture, and the priests for the service of God then their services would ascend unto Him like a sweet savour. Again, they were warned not to make a replica of this ointment for their own personal use. And anyone who did that would be dealt with seriously. They would be excommunicated. And possibly even death.
II. The Significance
Having considered the command, let us move on to consider the significance of the anointing of oil. We want to learn especially what it means to us or how it can be applied into our lives today. Throughout the New Testament Scriptures, there is no command given to sprinkle oil and anoint the church building, the sanctuary, the worship instruments like the piano or the organ, or the people. The only exception was found in James 5:14 when the people were commanded to call for the elders of the church to anoint the sick with oil. That was the only exception.
In the New Testament, there are several different Greek words used for the words “anoint”, “anointed”, or “anointing”. And they can mean different things depending on the context. For example, a particular Greek term is used to refer to a special anointing or a consecration. Like in the Gospel of Luke 4:18 where the anointing is to preach the Gospel to the poor. The best example of such a meaning is the Lord Jesus Christ who was the Anointed One — the Messiah — the One who was specially set apart for God's salvation plan.
At other times, another Greek word for anointing is used. Like in the case of the women who went to the tomb of Jesus to anoint His body with sweet spices (Mark 16:1). That anointing means to spread or to apply. The women went to the tomb to spread or apply the sweet spices on His body. But they found out that He had already been raised from the dead (Mark 16:6). Yet at other times, another Greek word for anointing is used to mean rubbing. Like in the case of James 5:14.
Perhaps, allow me to read for you. James 5:14-15 says, “Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him”. The word “sick” means physical illness or spiritual weakness as a result of suffering.
Without understanding the context, at first glance, it appears when the elders of the church pray for the sick believers and anoint them with oil, they would surely be healed. Remember, James was writing to the persecuted believers. They had been physically abused. They had lost the ability to endure the suffering. They were exhausted and depressed. And perhaps, even fallen into sin. They might be so physically and spiritually sick that they wanted to draw strength from prayers. But they had lost the ability to do so. Having hit rock bottom, they were not able to pray effectively on their own.
In such times of affliction, they would need the help of the stronger believers right? And who else could they turn to but to call upon the elders of the church to pray for them? The elders of the church were supposed to be spiritually mature; spiritually strong; spiritually victorious. They were the ones whom the weak believers could turn to for help. This is in line with what Galatians 6:1 teaches us. “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness”.
In Acts 6:4, the church elected the deacons. Why did they do that? So that the elders would be able to give themselves continually to prayers and the ministry of the Word. It is one of the responsibilities of pastors and elders to pray for the congregation. If I may put it this way: ‘When you are afflicted, you must pray individually’. But it may come to a point whereby you are so exhausted, weak, tired, and troubled — both physically and spiritually — that even if you want to, you are incapable of praying effectively on your own. So what do you do?
Of course, God has given to us the indwelling Holy Spirit to help us to pray. As Romans 8:26 tells us, “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered”. But God has also given to us pastors and elders to help us to pray in moments like this. Sadly today, many weak and struggling believers would rather turn to secular counsellors and psychologists who have absolutely no understanding of prayers and no concern for God at all. And oftentimes, the pastors and elders are the last people to know of their struggles.
Here — James 5:14 — the Bible uses a different Greek word for anointing which means rubbing, the physical rubbing of oil or ointment. You see in the Middle East, oil had often been used for medical purposes. And olive oil was abundant in that region. The people would use the rubbing of oil to soothen their tired and weak bodies. In other words, it can be translated as “[rubbing] him with oil in the name of the Lord”.
In those days, the persecuted believers had suffered physical injuries to their bodies. Modern science was not in existence at that time. And there were few trustworthy doctors. So medicated oil was often used. And it would have been a gracious act of love on the part of the elders to rub oil on the wounds of the sick believers who had been beaten and then to commit them to the Almighty God in prayers. So oil served a purpose as a medication. It has no supernatural power. The divine strength and power comes from the prayer; comes from God Himself, not the oil.
Today, do pastors and elders still need to rub oil on the sick brethren? If it is necessary. If you sprain your ankle and you need my help to rub medicated oil on it, I will help you. But that oil serves only one purpose as a medication. It has no supernatural power. The elders of the church did it “in the name of the Lord”. To do something “in the name of the Lord” is to do what Christ would have done in that given situation. Just as to pray “in the name of the Lord” is to ask what Christ would want. To minister “in the name of the Lord” is to serve on His behalf. Most certainly, Jesus would have done the same thing. To rub oil on the wounds of the believers like the way He stooped down and washed His disciples’ feet.
So depending on the Greek word they use for anointing, it can mean a special anointing; a consecration or it can mean spreading, or applying, or rubbing. Like in the case of James 5:14. But the anointing that best fits the context of Exodus 30:21-38 is not the anointing as in rubbing, spreading, or applying. Rather, it is the special anointing or consecration. Remember, the Tabernacle, the furniture, and the priests were specially consecrated and set apart for the service of God.
The priests were already saved. And as they moved from the altar of sacrifice, they reached the brass basin where they washed their hands and feet which was a symbol of their sanctification. And before they could enter the Tabernacle to perform the sacred duties, they were anointed with oil. This reminds us of our salvation. And most theologians see the application of this anointing with oil in connection with the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
Allow me to briefly explain. 2 Corinthians 1:21 says, “Now he which [stablishes] us with you in Christ, and hath anointed [you], is God”. In other words, ‘God is the One who has confirmed you, just as He has confirmed us. And consecrated and set us apart unto Him’. “Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts” (2 Corinthians 1:22). At the point of our conversions, you and I were indwelt or baptised with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the seal, assurance, and guarantee of our salvation. All believers have been baptised with the Spirit.
As Romans 8:9 tells us, “[If] any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his”. It is important for us to distinguish the difference between being baptised with the Holy Spirit and being filled with the Holy Spirit. The baptism with the Spirit is a one-time event. It is the act of Christ when He places the believer into His body and the believer is indwelt with the Holy Spirit. It is never to be repeated, just like justification or adoption. The filling of the Holy Spirit is different. It is an experience. And it is continuous. That is why in Galatians 5:16, we are being commanded to “[walk] in the Spirit”.
If you read through the Book of Acts, you will find out that the Disciples like Peter were filled with the Holy Spirit in Acts 4:8. And then again, he was filled with the Spirit in Acts 4:31. The same goes with Stephen — the first Christian martyr — who was “a man full of faith [and the Holy Spirit]” (Acts 6:5). And then again, he was filled with the Spirit in Acts 7:55 as he was being stoned to death. Paul was filled with the Holy Spirit in Acts 9:17. And then again, he was filled with the Spirit in Acts 13:9. And the list goes on, and on, and on.
In each one of those instances, the believers were filled with the Spirit to serve a particular purpose. They were consecrated or set apart so that they might serve the sovereign Will, purpose, and glory of God. Dear friend, if I may put it this way: ‘God has consecrated us and set us apart at the point of our conversions. And He continues to consecrate us and set us apart for a sovereign purpose, to serve and glorify Him’.
As believers, we are not commanded to look forward to the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It had already occurred at the point of our conversions. But we are commanded to be continuously filled with the Holy Spirit. It is an ongoing experience. Like the priests who were anointed with oil to perform the sacred duties, you and I are to be filled with the Holy Spirit to accomplish the work that God has set before us whether we are pastors, preachers, elders, deacons, Sunday School teachers, bible facilitators, youth leaders, parents, children, or as individuals.
In the Old Testament, only the priests were anointed with oil. But in the New Testament, all the believers are called priests. Do you remember? We are “a royal priesthood” (1 Peter 2:9). And all of us are to serve the Almighty God as priests. To be filled with the Spirit is to live a Spirit-controlled life. Without a Spirit-filled life, we can never live a victorious and triumphant life. We can never overcome the sins that so easily beset us. We can never live to please, serve, and glorify the precious name of our God.
D. L. Moody once illustrated what it means to be filled with the Spirit. He said to his audience, ‘Tell me, how can I get the air out of this empty glass’? One man said, ‘Suck the air out with a pump’. Moody replied, ‘That will create a vacuum within the glass and shatter the glass’. After many impossible suggestions, Moody finally smiled. And he picked up a jar of water and filled the glass. ‘There’, he said. ‘All the air is now removed’.
He then went on to show that victory in the Christian life is not sucking out one sin here and there. But rather, by being filled with the Holy Spirit. It is not about using all those humanistic ideas to deal with our sins. It will only create a vacuum in our hearts. The only solution is to be filled with the Spirit. The believer who is indwelt with the Holy Spirit will be led by the Spirit. In all reality, you and I do not need to pray for the Spirit's leading because He is already doing that. What we need to pray is for our willingness and our obedience to follow His leading.
Let me end by sharing with you three things that you and I can do to live a Spirit-filled life.
Firstly, a Spirit-filled life involves surrender. It involves a surrender of our wills, our intellect, our time, our resources, our talents, our treasures, and everything to God's control. It is the death of self. When you empty yourself of yourself, the Holy Spirit will then fill you. It is like coming before God and saying, ‘I'm really nothing, Lord. I can be here this evening and I cannot even make it home tonight. I can have my husband, my wife, my children, my house, and everything be taken away from me in a split moment. I cannot control my life. Only You alone are in control of my life. Teach me to humble myself so that I might say, ‘All to Thee, I surrender’’.
As Galatians 2:20 tells us, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me”. ‘So from now onwards, this is the way I’m going to live my life. As the Spirit of Christ lives in me, I will yield myself in obedience to His leading. I will surrender my life to Him’.
Secondly, a Spirit-filled life is to let the Word of God dwell in us. Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom”. The psalmist also said, “Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word” (Psalm 119:9). That is the only way we can be cleansed. It is to let the Word of God to dominate our thinking and to dominate our actions. As the Word of God dwells in us; in our hearts, it is that by which the Spirit will direct our paths. The only way we can walk daily, routinely, continuously yielding to the Spirit of God is to have spiritual thoughts. So, we must constantly feed ourselves with the Word of God so that our thoughts will be inclined to the things of God.
Like the illustration I used to share. The new man in Christ living in this mortal body known as the flesh is like a white dog and a black dog. The new man is like the white dog. And the flesh — this mortal body — is like the black dog. And these two dogs are always fighting. Which one would win depends on which one you feed more often. If you are always feeding the black dog with the filthy things of this world, the black dog will become very strong. But if you are always feeding the white dog with the Word of God then it will also become very powerful and strong.
You and I must always feed ourselves with the Word of God and then apply it into our lives through the wonder-working of the Holy Spirit. That is the only way we can overcome “the lust of the flesh, [the lust of the eye], and the pride of life” (1 John 2:16). That is the only way we can live a consecrated and sanctified life. So, we need to ask ourselves, ‘What have we been feeding ourselves with? The Word of God, or with some lustful thoughts, or the things of this world’?
Thirdly, a Spirit-filled life is to live every moment as if standing in the presence of Christ. It may be a crude way to say in this manner: ‘Would you walk into a den of immorality with your wife standing beside you’? Most certainly not right? We need to be conscious of the fact that God is with us all the time. He neither sleeps nor slumbers. And He is always watching over us. Sometimes, we are so conscious of certain important people in our lives. But they are just mere human beings. How much more we ought to be conscious of the sovereign Almighty God in our lives?
A Spirit-filled life is one that lives every moment as if in the presence of Christ. When you are tempted to do something or you are unsure whether or not you should do that thing, just ask yourself this simple question: ‘If Christ is with me, would He approve of what I’m doing’? In fact, at every point of our lives, we ought to ask ourselves this question: ‘Would Christ approve of what I’m doing right at this moment’?
Just like the priests were anointed with oil, you and I are filled with the Holy Spirit to serve, and worship, and glorify the Almighty God. A Spirit-filled life involves surrender. Emptying ourselves of ourselves. People who are full of themselves will not be filled with the Spirit. Because they are full of themselves. A Spirit-filled life involves letting the Word of God dwell in us to dominate our thinking and also dominate our actions. And a Spirit-filled life involves living every moment as if standing in the presence of Christ. And the reality is we are standing in the presence of Christ. May the Lord help us to apply all this Truth into our lives to the glory of His precious name.
Let us pray. Our Father in Heaven, indeed, as believers, we know that we are saved, we are justified. But as we live our days on this earth, we need to be made pure, cleansed, and be sanctified. We need to live our lives to serve, worship, and glorify Thee. Indeed, the chief end of man is to glorify Thee and to enjoy Thee forever. Thou who has saved us at the point of our conversions have also indwelt us with Thy Spirit. We have been baptised with the Holy Spirit. Once we are saved, we are always saved. We will not lose our salvation. The Spirit of God is the seal and guarantee of our salvation.
But what we need is to be continuously filled with the Holy Spirit. And that is an ongoing experience. We need to walk daily, routinely, continuously yielding to the Spirit of God who indwells our hearts. And we want to live such a life, a life that will surrender ourselves to Thee; a life that will let the Word of God dwell in our hearts; a life that will live every moment as if standing in Thy presence. And the reality is, indeed, we are standing in Thy presence. Fill us with Thy Spirit so that we may live such a life, to serve, worship, and glorify Thee. We pray all this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
