Exodus 28:6–14

About this episode
We live in an age that prides itself on its casual approach to everything, especially worship. We are told that what is in the heart is all that matters, and that external forms are, at best, a distraction and, at worst, a form of dead legalism. Our worship services are often indistinguishable from a TED talk or a rock concert. And then we come to a chapter like Exodus 28, and the entire edifice of our modern, casual Christianity begins to tremble. Here, God, the sovereign creator of the universe, dedicates an enormous amount of inspired Scripture to describing, in painstaking detail, the clothing that His high priest is to wear. He specifies the materials: gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine linen. He outlines the design, the structure, and the function of each piece. This is not a footnote; it is a revelation.
