Discipleship Focus: Father
- Father: This is the pinnacle of the Covenant Triangle. God is the Father. He is the creator. He is love. Our relationship with the Father is rooted in His love for us. We get our identity through Him. When the Father is in our life, obedience becomes clear.
It’s neat to have a good look at Father as we end the book of
Exodus. Moses was certainly obedient as
he erects the tabernacle at the request of the Lord. That obedience comes because Moses got his
identity from the Father.
Furthermore, look closely at how this book ends. When the tabernacle is erected, the glory of
the Lord fills the tabernacle. Here
again we see an aspect of the Father.
The Father dwells with His people.
Also notice the response of the people. When the glory of the Lord stayed in the
tabernacle, the people stayed in camp.
When the glory of the Lord left the tabernacle, the people broke camp
and moved where God led them. Here we
see a pattern take shape. The Father
gives us identity. We are then able to
act obediently to that very identity. It
starts with God and ends in our obedience.
