Exodus 37

(March 17, 2014)
I thought about what it must have been like to have been the one to have crafted the Ark of the Covenant – to have been the person who had put shape to something that ultimately became this holy artifact.  But I realized that this was no different than to look at a missionary that you have raised as they are giving their farewell.  To have helped to craft such a person who takes upon himself or herself the mantle of Christ must be, in every meaningful way, the same as crafting the Ark of the Covenant and then seeing it become imbued with holy power.
