This week, Youth Ministry Resident Matt Reed walked through Exodus 37:1-9 and discussed "the seat we sit under." In these verses, we see how the ark of the covenant is built, and learn about God's desire and effort to be in relationship with his people. Praise God! He does not sit on a seat of judgment or fear, but one of mercy. This mercy was ultimately lavished on us through the death, resurrection and atonement of God's Son, Jesus Christ. We sit under his perfect, merciful seat, from now through eternity.
