This sermon from Exodus 30:22–38 examines the holy anointing oil and salted incense, showing how they point to the person and work of Christ and the unifying, sanctifying ministry of the Holy Spirit. The oil’s carefully measured spices symbolize aspects of Christ’s perfection, bound together by the Spirit. The incense, salted as a sign of permanence, reflects the continual prayers of God’s people made acceptable through Christ. Both carry a warning against misuse, underscoring the seriousness of holy worship. The passage calls believers to lives wholly consecrated to God—shaped by His Word, empowered by His Spirit, and devoted to His glory alone.
