Year 7, Day 88: Exodus 39

Theological Commentary: Click Here


Today’s blog post is going to be short and to the point.  The chapter is all about finishing up the work of the Lord.  I find it interesting that immediately following the rebellion of the golden calf we have what is perhaps the greatest moment of obedience in this generation.  God can use our circumstances to bring about change and good things.

That’s not what I want to address today, though.  Do you notice that on this last day we focus on the priestly outfit?  Do you see what is central to this outfit?  The priests are to always remember and serve with their mind on the people of God.  Ministry and mission is about bringing people into relationship with God and then helping them stay there.

In my heart, this strikes a deep chord.  I am all about discipleship.  I am all about helping people find a relationship with God and then helping that relationship grow and stay strong.  That is in essence what the priesthood is all about in its core.  It is good to find such a discipleship centered message this far back in the Old Testament.
