The fool says in his heart there is no God, but as we see from Psalm 50 there is something that may be even more foolish.

As we close our Exodus series, we see the high point of the high point as the tabernacle is completed and God dwells with his people.
Exodus is about God's redemption, God's presence, God's glory, in other words, it is about Christ. Those three things shapes a unique people who hear and do God's word.
In building the Tabernacle it is clear that we have nothing that is not from God; therefore, we are simply stewardship who get to use our resources for his purposes.
We often long for the gifts of God over God himself. The Israels, led by Moses, realized have the gifts without God was not what they needed.
We make idols that we can see, feel, and manipulate. The God of the Bible is not manipulated. He is Lord and sovereign.
In this sermon, we see God's longing for his people to rest, and just where to find that rest.
Exodus continually demonstrates God's plan for one man to represent the many. In this section, the high priest is described, yet it is clear he is not enough.
God is relentless in his desire to be with his people, but that does not mean we come to him on our own terms. His holiness is not diminished by his mercy.
The law of God and love of God are not in opposition. In fact to make sense of one you must understand the other, and to know the love of God truly you must rightly apply His law.
