Exodus 39:22–26

About this episode
We live in an age that is allergic to detail, particularly when it comes to worship. Modern evangelicals, in their desperate quest to be seen as relevant and casual, have stripped their services of all glory, all specificity, and all gravity. They want a worship that feels like their living room, comfortable and unchallenging. But when we come to the book of Exodus, we find that God is intensely interested in the particulars. Every color, every piece of fruit, every bell is a sermon. To treat these chapters as a tedious exercise in ancient interior design is to miss the point entirely. God is showing us, in types and shadows, what our Great High Priest would be like, and what His ministry would accomplish. The world thinks that freedom is found in having no rules, no dress code, no liturgy.
