Description
In the final episode of Voyage: A Journey through the Book of Exodus, Bible scholar Frances Hogan recaps chapters 35-40, explaining the intricacies and significance of the Sabbath, the tabernacle construction, and the notion of obedience. These chapters detail the Sabbath laws, emphasizing total rest for body, mind, and soul, a practice preserved to this day. Hogan highlights that the Tabernacle's construction under Moses followed precise instructions from God, mirroring His command to Moses on Mount Sinai. The people's exact obedience underscores a core message of Exodus—that love for God is shown through adherence to His commandments, one that is echoed by Jesus in the New Testament. The Sabbath's role is pivotal: it is a time to be spent with God. Through this exploration, we'll uncover the profound connection between obedience, love, and worship. Hogan explains how the principles of the Sabbath and the Tabernacle are still relevant to our spiritual journey, inviting us to deepen our relationship with God through rest, reverence, and devotion.
