Vayakhel: Torah 22

Messiah in Life

When the Lord gives us sacred work, does the immediacy of the new sacred work set aside His call for us to rest? The children of Israel were deep into the fabrication of the Tabernacle when they receive a reminder: rest. What do we learn from this? What do we learn from a dramatic linguistic parallel to the account of creation and the account of the Tabernacle? What of the language of work and service, and its connection to sacred purpose? So much to consider, yet it all still points us to the mission of the Great Commission. How does this all knit us together? Give a listen.
