Exodus 30: ☧ Teaches w/ Holy Scent, Comforts the Senses

Rev. George Murdaugh, pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Douglasville, Georgia, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Exodus 30. “You shall make of these a sacred anointing oil blended as by the perfumer; it shall be a holy anointing oil. [...] Whoever compounds any like it or whoever puts any of it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.” The LORD’s exclusive brand of cologne? Exodus 30 deals with the reality that we humans need tangible and sensory reminders not to treat God like another item on the to-do list. He graciously teaches us and comforts us with the scent and sight of His presence, even deigning to smell like us—as His own Son would.
