Scott Allen leads today's lesson from Exodus 40:16-21, 34-38. Moses' obedience to God's instructions set the stage for God's arrival at the newly constructed tabernacle. Yet even the design of the new worship center pointed out the contrast between God's holiness and the people's sinfulness. We find both comforting and challenging aspects to God's presence and discuss how these aspects carry over to New Testament believers, who enjoy more direct access to God through Jesus.
