Rev. Warren Woerth, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Arnold, Missouri, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Exodus 38. $160 million dollars’ worth—that’s how much gold “was used for the work, in all the construction of the sanctuary.” What does Exodus 38 teach us? It’s not about money or precious metals as much as God’s image. Whatever we “pour” our hearts into and “cast” our aspirations on should represent God and His design. Charitable spirituality vs. adorned sacred space is a false dichotomy. The women offered their own mirrors as all Israel offered the plunder of Egypt. God doesn’t need it—He can hallow a bush in the wilderness—but we sacrifice what God provides to adorn the altar of God’s true image: the mercy seat of the most precious body and blood of Christ, incarnate for the world’s salvation.
