Exodus 26: ☧'s Sanctuary of Rest, Royal Tabernacle Supper

Rev. Richard Mittwede, pastor of University Lutheran Church in Austin, Texas, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Exodus 26. “You shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet yarns; you shall make them with cherubim skillfully worked into them.” God does not endorse slavery, but He did redeem it in Exodus 26. God takes the workmanship and knowledge that the Israelites gained from their long stay in Egypt and transforms it into holy service, just as God does with our secular vocations. The Tabernacle was a true sanctuary, not only a holy place: but a place of safety, protection, and heavenly peace, whose royal colors pointed ahead to Christ’s royal atonement in the Supper.
