Inspiration For The Journey
Border Worship
One chinese word for garden is a pictograph of a walled garden with four rivers from one source, much like the Genesis description of Eden.
Genesis 2:10 (KJV)
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
The Chinese had a unique worship practice in their history called border worship, where the worshippers would periodically travel to the border of the country for a special service or ceremony. It is believed that this practice stems back to Adam and Eve being driven from the garden because of their sin. The Idea being that it is likely that Adam and Eve, after losing Eden, ventured back as close as they dared to the place where they had enjoyed perfect fellowship with God, to worship Him.
The obstacle was the fence and in reality the angel with flaming sword guarding the way to the tree of life.
Later, under the Law of Moses, there was another wall that separated between sinful man and a holy God; the four inch thick veil surrounding the holy of holies. But when Jesus, (the promised seed of the woman that would bruise the head of the serpent, promised inside the garden) died on Calvarys’ cross, the thick veil was torn from top to bottem, signifying that the way to God has been opened again.
Matthew 27:50-
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;—––
So today we can rejoice because the veil is rent, the fence is down, sinful man can again enter the garden as it were, into God’s presence, through the man Christ Jesus!
In the Garden God has planted;”Every tree that is good for food”-
God has a smorgasbord of spiritual food prepared for us!
How much time are you spending in the garden with God?
