Maybe you've been somewhere so dark that you could hardly see right in front of your face. Inside the tabernacle, with its four layers of curtains, it was very dark. In addition to the curtains, keeping the light out, the smoke from the altar of incense made the room even darker. In this lesson, we consider the lampstand of gold that provided light in the darkness and made service to the Lord possible in His presence. Spiritually, the lampstand shows us our need for light in Christ to serve a holy God in a dark world.
