As Bezaleel crafted the altar of burnt offering, following God’s detailed blueprint, I wonder if he understood the significance of that beautiful piece of furniture. I wonder how many members of the human race, before and since Bezaleel, have fully grasped what God was trying to say to us when he instituted the building of altars. For generations before the Israelites became a nation, God’s people had been worshipping at altars. For all those years, God had been dissolving the distance between earth and heaven with tongues of fire that came flashing down to consume the offering. It was constant physical evidence that God wanted to reach across the separation caused by sin, that earth and heaven were not unrelated worlds, but that they were in contact with and affected by each other. The altars built of stone, the altar made by Bezaleel, and all the altars that would come afterward, were a chain of promise. They were a pledge from God that when Jesus died as a lamb brought to the slaughter, the breach in our relationship with God would be eternally healed. The separation sin brought was not here to stay. Emerald Dunne

A recurring theme throughout the articles of furniture in Exodus 37 is acacia wood and gold. Acacia wood is known for its durability and solidness, gold is pliable and corrosion-resistant, and both are known for being heavy and dense. Though the Israelites were regularly on the move, God did not choose any lesser or lighter material for the articles through which Israel would worship Him. In the Tabernacle, nothing was modest or of a lesser quality. Likewise, though simplicity is necessary in our personal and social lives, in our service to God nothing should be held back. The Ark of the Covenant, with the two Cherubim guarding it, was where God would show His divine presence. Here was where God would communicate with His people, sometimes through a voice in the cloud, and sometimes through light resting on the angel to the right or a shadow resting on the one to the left, signifying approval or disapproval. This exemplifies the importance of God’s servants in the plan of salvation. He wants to use anyone who will allow Him to. When we hold nothing back, and allow God to use us and change us, He will do amazing things. Jeffrey Saelee

The specificity of the instructions in Leviticus is a reminder that God loves order, organization, structure, and precision. God is also a lover of beauty and artistry! Those who are gifted in the arts must surely find encouragement in these chapters. V.1 states that God Himself gave artistic talent to Bezalel and Aholiab. Using their gifts in building the tabernacle brought honor to the God whom they served. The people gave to the building project with such joyous generosity that ultimately the command came, "Bring no more!" Not often today do we hear of fund-raising for a specific mission project that brings in so many resources that the leader says, Enough! Contribute no more! The energy, creativity, tenacity, and passion of ancient Israeal to collectively build a worship edifice that would honor God remains an ideal for God's people today. Whether we serve the Lord as a janitor or an architect, let us also worship God with our talents, doing all "with excellence, as to the Lord." Cindy Tutsch

Israel contributed to God’s tabernacle and the spirit of willingness was manifested. The idea of giving with a willing spirit is repeated five times (Ex 35:5, 21, 22, 26, 29). Despite establishing the importance of His law, God’s worship is based upon freedom of choice. A willing spirit is the fruit of a thankful heart and this is the true spirit of worship. Obedience to God’s law and a thankful heart is at the foundation of the worship established with the building of the tabernacle. The gifts brought by the people were the fruit of the condition of their heart. The beauty of the precious gifts of gold, bronze, rare stones were to please the eye only as a reminder of the beauty of the relationship between God and his people. The symbolism implied within the tabernacle would establish God’s relationship not only with Israel but the entire human race. Questions to ponder: Are the beauty of God’s sanctuary and imagery contradictory to the commandment given in Exodus 20:4? How is it different? How can the proper context give new significance to the content of imagery? Giselle Sarli Hasel
