In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will continue in Exodus and explain why God’s people needed a mediator to draw near to Him. They talk about God’s holiness, the tabernacle and priestly system, and why approaching God requires His provided “in-between” protections. Using a “standing on the sun” illustration, they show why we cannot enter God’s presence on our own. They connect Exodus 28–31 to the New Testament by explaining that Jesus fulfills the mediators, and that believers are called to abide “in Christ.” Take a moment to reflect on how you can approach God with both reverence and confidence because of Jesus. If this helped you understand Exodus or the idea of a mediator, share it with someone who is Bible-curious.
