As we finish up the series, I want to really focus in on the subtitle here:
“A roadmap to rest for your soul.”
Exodus 25-31 is instructions for the tabernacle
The conclusion of the instructions is to remember the sabbath, and to explain that the sabbath is sign of covenantal relationship with God.
For Israel, the sabbath was a day.
For Christians, the sabbath is a person.
Sabbath literally means “to rest from or stop working”
Jesus ALONE satisfies the works of the law.
Jesus ALONE fulfills everything that is written in Exodus (and the rest)
Exodus 32-34 is the golden calf.
This story shows how quickly people are to turn from their savior.
This story shows how quickly we fail if the work is up to us.
This story shows how we are prone to quickly take the blessings that God has poured out to be used in worship and take those blessings and make idols...
And yet, God is faithful, and and God renews and keeps his covenants, even if he must uphold both sides of the deal.
[[SLIDE]]
Exodus 25-31 = instructions for the tabernacle
Exodus 32-34 = golden calf
Exodus 35-40 = building the tabernacle
Chapter 35, basically through the end of the book is Moses building the tabernacle.
And at the beginning of this narrative, again, we see the sabbath mentioned.

It’s not try harder...
It’s BELIEVE BETTER.
Sin, rebellion, turmoil,
Is a result of unbelief.
God says A, we say B
(have you ever been in a relationship where the person always seems to be right?
They’ll tell you something is a bad idea, you do it anyway, then you look back and think, yep, bad idea.
That’s how it is with God.
Except he’s ALWAYS right, and the consequences that will make us look back and say, “yeah, that was a bad idea” can take a while.)
Notice,
God does not distinguish between belief and obedience.
YOU CAN’T say:
I believe God, I just don’t obey what he says.
When we disobey, that is, act APART from belief and faith, we deny Jesus.
Four things that prevent us from entering and experiencing the rest in Jesus.
(1) We fail to repent of loving our sin.
We may have remorse over doing bad things...
But we must move beyond that, we must kill the sin and the desire for sin...
If you do not hate your sin, you do not love God.
I wish I could live like the world, I look to the things of the world with longing...
(2) We try harder instead of believing better.
We must fundamentally acknowledge that sin problems are actually faith problems.
We don’t lean into the grace and forgiveness that only Jesus can offer, we try to make it on our own, and we fail miserably.
(3) We are deceived by sin.
(3a) We are deceived that God’s way isn’t the best way.
(3b) We are deceived that something other than God can satisfy us.
(3c) We are deceived that something other than God can save us.
(3d) We are deceived that something other than God is worthy of our devotion.
(3e) We are deceived that our sin isn’t that big of a deal.
We are deceived that we can worship idols next to God.
(4) We fail to live in community.
If you belief the cultural lie that your relationship with God is just “between you and God” you will inevitably be deceived.
People who are not around other people who know and love Jesus become self-deceived.
They are blind to their own condition.
“That person lacks awareness...”
