This episode explains how the tabernacle points to Jesus and how the book of Hebrews says the blood of goats and bulls cannot take away sin. It walks through the Gospel of John as an “outline” modeled in the tabernacle, starting with John 1 where Jesus “tabernacled” among us. You will see repeated themes of cleansing (water imagery), Jesus as the Bread of Life, Jesus as the Light of the World, and Jesus’ prayer (often called the High Priestly Prayer). The message also connects Jesus’ death to the tearing of the veil and the idea of access to God. Finally, it ends at the empty tomb with Mary Magdalene seeing two angels positioned like the Ark of the Covenant, pointing to atonement “once and for all.” If you feel far from God, this is a reminder that people like Mary, and people like us, are welcomed in.
