Tabernacle Glory Is Reversed In Christ

I am currently working my way through the Meredith Kline collection. While Kline says many weird and frustrating things, and his writings can be a chore to understand, occasionally there is a gem, an "Aha!" moment. I had one of these moments reading Images of the Spirit. Sometimes Kline makes you read a paragraph multiple times because it is confusing, and other times he makes you read a paragraph multiple times because it is profoundly insightful; confusing and insightful happen side by side a lot too.

From Genesis To Revelation

At my church we're going through a book called Sacred Bond in our adult Sunday school class. It's a brief introduction to covenant theology, and a very helpful resource thus for. It is a very accessible book for the person who is new to covenant theology, or the uninitiated layperson. Concepts are simple and well explained, and it is quite pleasant to read. I read a lot of theology for fun, but I find myself really enjoying getting back to the basics. This was very true when we went through the chapter on the Covenant of Grace.

The Temple Of God Is Union With Christ

Exodus 32-34 is an infamous chapter in Israel's history. As Moses ascended Mount Sinai to receive the law from the finger of God, the congregation returned to the idolatry of Egypt and created a golden calf to worship. As Moses descended from Sinai, a great confrontation began between God and his people. It is from this confrontation that Moses, who was afraid to speak before Pharaoh, stands boldly before God and intercedes for the congregation. There are many things that can be developed from this narrative, but I want to focus specifically on how, in this conflict, we see the nature of the relationship between God and his people.
