Section Four—Anointing

Oil
Another section begins in verse 22. "Moreover the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Take thou also... of oil olive an hin... it shall be a holy anointing oil." We have here the holy anointing oil. The holy sanctuary and also Aaron and his sons who were the ministers in that sanctuary, had to be anointed with the holy anointing oil. It typifies the anointing of God's Holy Spirit. In that lovely Psa. 133, it says, "How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments.”
It is not only some of us that are anointed with that precious anointing oil, but all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ have received the Holy Spirit of God. So we may draw near before God with holy boldness for the Spirit is the power to worship in spirit and in truth. It is the Spirit that fills the heart with Christ and causes our worship to rise up to God our Father, the source of all blessing. The Spirit is thus the power of our worship in the presence of God.
