The tabernacle covering of “rams’ skins dyed red” speaks of consecration. When we remember that the ram was the animal used in connection with the consecration of the priests and that this consecration was marked by devotedness, we can readily see how this covering would point to the devotedness of Christ to God. The skins dyed red speak of His devotedness even unto death. No numbers of its measurement are given with this covering, as with the others, for the devotedness of Christ, in His consecration to God, was without measure.
If the rams’ skin curtains speak of the devotedness of Christ in His consecration to God, the life of the Christian should also be characterized by devotedness to Him. Let him heed the exhortation, “That ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service” (Rom. 12:11I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. (Romans 12:1)).
