Exodus 38 — Sketch

The Courtyard Complete

Big Idea:

• Israel builds the sacrificial altar.

• Israel builds the washbasin.

• Israel builds the courtyard.

• Everything is made from the offerings Israel brought.

Jesus in This Chapter:

• The basin was where the priests would wash before entering the Holy Place.  This was symbolic of how Jesus cleanses us of unrighteousness.

• The altar is where sacrifices were made. These sacrifices were foreshadows of the ultimate sacrifice for sin – Jesus.

• The courtyard had only one entrance – on the east side.  Likewise, there is only one way to enter into a right relationship with God – Jesus.
