God Becomes Man, Lesson 9: The Dwelling of God is with Man

Series Overview

On Wednesday nights throughout the next nine months, we will be walking our way through the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, learning the story of salvation, especially how everything points to and is fulfilled by Jesus.

Lesson 9: The Dwelling of God is with Man
Lesson Overview

What is the Tabernacle? How did in function within Israel, and what is its place in salvation history? These are the questions we will address in this lesson. We will find that the Tabernacle represents the paradox of the human condition in a fallen state: God’s wants to dwell with us, be we cannot approach his holy presence as sinners without being consumed by it. The Tabernacle is intentionally designed to reinforce this paradox, and provide for means of grace to overcome it, albeit with significant limitations. Its place as the locus of God’s presence on earth points to Christ, who in his human body makes humanity as a whole, and by extension the earth they are mandated from creation to fill, the dwelling place of God.

Key Text(s): Exodus 35:30-38:20; and Exodus 40
Office Texts: Psalm 15 and 24, Exodus 40, Hebrews 9:1-10
