God desires a relationship with his people. To prove it, he will go to great lengths. He will give us the tabernacle to show us that his presence is with us. But the tabernacle serves as the primary bridge between the presence of God in the Old Testament and the New Testament presence of God in the Incarnation of Jesus Christ. God wants a relationship with his people so badly, he will take on flesh and undergo the penalty of sin so that he can be among his people.

How does God want us to live? Ecclesiastes 12:9-14 tells us that to “fear God and keep his commandments” is our whole duty. But what if we don’t fear God nor obey him as we ought? Christ provides what he requires, and as we learn about what he’s done, we gain wisdom for obedience that leads to worship.
