Can we live with God? How do we live with God? Do we want to live with God? Does God want to live with us?
Let’s find answers to these questions in Exodus 25:1-8 where we can walk around God’s living room and learn about living with God. This chapter introduces the Tabernacle, God’s home among the Israelites.
GOD’S LIVING ROOM IS HOLY (8)
- The Tabernacle is a holy place
- The Tabernacle is for a holy person
A perfect place with a perfect person sounds like a perfect life.
How does God entice us in?
GOD’S LIVING ROOM IS BEAUTIFUL (8)
- The Tabernacle is made of beautiful materials
- The Tabernacle is a beautiful idea
God is not spartan, he’s spectacular.
But does he really want me in it?
GOD’S LIVING ROOM IS INVITING (8)
- God’s in it
- God invites us to join him
God doesn’t say “Stay out,” he says, “Come in.”
LIVING THE BIBLE
Through Jesus Christ, God is saying, “I’ve made you a living room where we can live together. Jesus is a holy living room, a beautiful living room, and an inviting living room” (Matthew 1:23; John 1:14).
Live with God because he wants to live with you and has made it possible through Jesus Christ.
