Exodus 31–32 reveals God as the ultimate Artist Who gifts human creativity to build a Tabernacle where He can truly dwell among His people. In this study, we see the contrast between that embassy of the Creator of the heavens and the earth and the golden calf, a human-created false representation of the divine. This calf graphically reveals what happens when we put anything else at the center of our lives. Through Moses’ mediation and New Testament insights about the Messiah, we learn that real repentance, mercy and obedience turn our hearts and communities into God’s living Tabernacle.
