Thanks Jess for the link! Some of these images are very similar to the Catholic Church; the priests garments and all the gold utensils.

One of my favorite images showing all the details of the Tabernacle and the High Priests garments. A great explanation and it helps so much to see it visually!! http://m.wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1001061225

Praise the LORD for Jesus coming and making things new, because I just am blown away at all of the rules and regulations showing up in Exodus! God is all Sovereign, and I am not doubting his reason for all of this but WOW…what a lot of stuff they had to create…in the DESERT!
I was really drawn to the part in Exodus when it says that each tribe is a gemstone represented on the clothing of Aaron when he enters into the holy place…gemstones are a rarity, prized possessions, beautiful things of the earth. How cool is it that each tribe is represented in their own gemstone and is “brought in” to the holy place?! These details are HARD to read through, but little things that stick out like that are awesome!-
Amazing take away!

I too am grateful that we live under Grace and not the Law now. The fact that we can sit with God whenever we need, without formal ceremony or a middleman. Reading Exodus has served to remind me the incredible gift that he has given us. That I am able to sit and study his words with my sisters. Though I still want to come to him with my best, I am able to come to him at any time and be received, heard and loved. I pray I never take that for granted.

Praise God for giving them the things they needed! He told them what they needed and he provided it for them, even if it was a rarity. How great He is!

I love that Jesus, who was sad by the death of John, never stopped His ministry or His love for people. The Bible says He went off to be alone and then saw the people and He had compassion on them, so He healed them. How often do I let my personal feelings and life get me down to the point where I’m not thinking of others? Such a great reminder that the ministry isn’t about me, it’s about them.

Same thing stuck out to me! Loved that, even in His mourning He still wanted to help others.

A beautiful reminder. Thanks Stephanie!

How many times do I know Jesus will help and save me, yet I still allow fear to take hold?

Were did the Israelites get all of this gold ,wood, and fine stones to build the tabernacle? I know that they got some from the Egyptians but it doesn’t seem like they would have the resources to build something like this.

I know that God ensured they “plundered” the wealth of Egypt before they left, which is when the Egyptians gave them gold, precious stones and things of great value when they fled. But I was wondering where they got all the wood in the desert? I suppose my idea of a desert is different than where they were. I imagine West Texas, where my family is from, very hot, arrid and only full of shrubs and cactus.

I think it’s important to reflect on the Matthew 14 passage, where Jesus is sharing the loaves of bread and fish to feed thousands and in the end has more baskets of both than when they started. We serve a mighty God in whom all things are possible if we only follow his commands. Our human minds cannot understand the beauty of his plan. We have to have faith that if God has asked something of us, he will provide the means.

I found it interesting and somewhat funny that Aaron had to wear a big ol’ stamp on his forehead saying HOLY TO THE LORD. But we also wear that stamp that God puts on us when we are saved. How amazing that God sees us as Holy!

Still one of the saddest things in the gospels to me. His cousin, whom he loved, and the man who prepared the way for his ministry has just been murdered at the whim of a teenager & Jesus needs a minute to mourn. Rather than respecting that, the crowds need more from him RIGHT NOW! They follow him &, instead of reacting harshly out of grief, he feels compassion towards them. He’s living what he told his disciples, “let the dead bury the dead.” I’m proud of him, baffled by him, and want to hug him all in one. It hurts so much that he was forced not only to mourn without outward solace, but that no one thought of his needs above theirs, even for a minute.
How often to I ignore the pain someone else is feeling to push my own agenda without even realizing it?-
Well said Britt!! This requires much thought. Thank you.

I had never thought of it in that light. It was always one of those details that I just missed until now. Shows you even more what kind of man he was.
