And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet. 2 Samuel 6:14-15

This one room "tent" tabernacle wasn't technically appropriate, according to the Law. The tent or tabernacle that David made didn't have the veil to separate the ark of God from them, and they did not have the altar for the sin sacrifice there. They only offered burnt sacrifices, peace offerings, and praise and worship before the ark of God. But this type of "one-room" tabernacle is what Jesus wants to create in our heart today. Because Jesus cleanses and frees us completely from sin, there is no longer anything between us and God. Additional sacrifices for sin are not necessary. We can now offer our lives to him in sacrificial service, offer peace offerings, and praise and worship right in the very presence of God himself!

Now in our study last week, we studied how Jesus died ONCE for all time. He died once to take away our sins, once and for all. According to the Old Testament Law, an animal sacrifice had to be made every year for their sins. But Jesus was sacrificed once and his blood entered into our spiritual tabernacle to wash away sins, and the very nature to sin. Jesus' sacrifice had and still has the power to purge us completely from sin and to change lives completely, with no sin remaining.

David worshiped God in "his presence", or in the presence of the Ark. And David also set it up that the worship and praise of God would be done continuously. This was more than they had ever done before; they truly worshiped and praised God!
