Rev. Brady Finnern, pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church in Sartell, Minnesota, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Exodus 37. “He made the holy anointing oil also, and the pure fragrant incense.” Does this worship smell right? Exodus 37 continues the review of two things that went wrong at the golden calf festival: the misuse of gold to build an idol, and the immoral actions of its fertility cult. God is the creator of all; there are no bad things—only bad purposes. 75 pounds of pure gold were rightly used in repentance for the lampstand & its utensils alone. While nothing can escape God’s presence, He blesses His people by being especially present with His light and sacraments. He even takes on a certain smell to jog the memory, just as He does in the incarnation and Eucharist of the Lord Jesus.
