Tozer leads us through the Old Testament tabernacle and into the Holy of Holies — and then confronts us with the veil that still hangs in our own hearts. This chapter calls for painful honesty.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Tozer opens with Augustine's famous line: "Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in Thee." He says this is "the origin and interior history of the human race." Do you feel that restlessness? What do you typically do with it?
2.He distinguishes carefully between the omnipresence of God and the "manifest Presence" of God. We have fled from the manifest Presence — like Adam hiding, or Peter crying "Depart from me." What is the difference between knowing God is everywhere and actually experiencing His Presence? Which do you know more of?
3.Walk through Tozer's description of the tabernacle — the outer court, the holy place, the veil, the Holy of Holies. What does each stage represent in the soul's journey toward God? At which stage do you think most Christians are living?
a.Tozer says the veil of the temple was rent at the moment of Christ's death. What does it mean to you personally that this barrier is gone on God's side?
b.Why, then, do so many Christians still live in the outer courts?
