The Story Week 5 (Part 1)

It was perhaps the greatest opportunity ever. God tells Moses that he wants to come to his people and dwell right in the middle of their camp. Not on the outskirts. Not in the 'burbs. But right in the middle of where they were living. You might wonder, "What preparations would a people need to make for God to live in their midst?"

God gave the Israelites guidelines so that, when they sought to live by them, other nations would see
them as different and know that they were God's people. God gave us Jesus so that, when we live like
him, others will know that we are his people.
For those who know him, God took care of our sin through the sacrifice of Jesus. He tabernacles in the
hearts of those who have drawn near to him. Could it be then that the degree to which we areobedient to him in this command to love each other is the degree of his presence we will find among us? It could be our greatest opportunity ever.
