“And shittim wood” (Exodus 25:5)

The Ark in the Most Holy Place, the alter of incense and the table of shewbread in the Holy Place, the boards and pillars of the Sanctuary, the pillars of the outer court, and the great brazen alter—all were of shittim wood. The shitim wood comes from a tree of the Acacia family. It is the most common wood to be found in any part of the world and is very little used for any thing except firewood.

The Lord Jesus, the Lord of Glory, took upon Himself the from of a common man. As an ordinary man He came and lived amongst the poorest people. The Lord Jesus became as shittim wood—perfect Man—that He might help you in any trial, at any time any where. It is a very difficult job to make a straight board from shittim wood. Yet all the boards of the Tabernacle were straight boards—the crooked was made straight how was this done?

The shittim wood that was used in the tabernacle was of the black acacia tree that grows only in the dry barren deserts of Arabia. This shittim wood is hard tough smooth without knots, and extremely beautiful. It is so hard and solid, as to be almost incorruptible and so large that planks twelve cubits long can be from it.

What a wonderful picture of our Lord Jesus Christ. There was no crookedness, no deviation no corruption in Him. Yet He came as a root out of a dry ground (Isa. 53:2). All of us are by nature very crooked. Our Lord became as shittim wood to make us straight.
