Blood and Gold

Exodus 23-25

I had an argument with someone last night about my belief that the object, as the vehicle of art, has been replaced by the idea or concept.  And then I have this reading this morning where God dictates to Moses all the objects He wants made for the sanctuary.  The beauty is that all the objects are to develop one concept.  God wants to have a personal relationship with us.  All the objects were made to create a method by which this “personal relationship’ could take place.  God and man have an object, the sanctuary, by which they can form, the most startling revelation in the history of human beings, a personal and loving relationship.

Don’t you enjoy your salvation!!!

Added thoughts:

I really loved the readings today.  Blood and gold.  Two of the most precious materials on earth and the two mediums God chose to work with when creating objects to be used in developing a personal relationship with His children.  Life and value are what I associate with the mediums, blood and gold.  That is what a personal relationship with God produces.  Everlasting life through Christ Jesus which makes you of ultimate value.
