Exodus 29-32
A powerful passage of beauty and violence and engraved between the two is Bezalel, the great saint of art, the first human who God filled with the Spirit of God to make art. Now that’s a winning line on a resume. It would be the only line needed. There’s an ongoing puzzlement that has perplexed mankind and this is a great opportunity to solve it. The puzzlement - What is art? The answer - It is a word! Art is a word God made up to identify the things artist make to help explain the unexplainable. And the most unexplainable idea in all of human history is GOD!!! If you read these three chapters alone there are great mysteries about God that will eternally defy the pen. That is why God made art and more importantly artists. Priests, scholars and layman don’t get to play. Only artists, and the first was Bezelel. AMEN
