This sermon explores the book of Exodus as a cohesive narrative of God's redemptive work, culminating in the filling of the tabernacle with His glory in chapter 40. It argues that salvation is entirely God's work, from initial justification through the blood of Christ to the ongoing process of sanctification, which He promises to complete. The preacher emphasizes that believers can rest in this assurance, recognizing that God's grace sustains them despite their failures and idolatry. By connecting the Old Testament types to Christ, the message highlights that the glory of God is displayed through His mercy, power, and faithfulness, inviting the congregation to sing and rest in the finished work of Jesus.
