Every house is built by somebody, as the Hebrew writer reminds us — but the builder of all things is God. So what can we learn about God the builder by looking at these builders? We will see that Jesus as temple-builder resembles Oholiab and Bezalel as temple-builders. At last the Spirit is mentioned as having a role in the building of the tabernacle, just as He worked in the life of Jesus, the ultimate temple-builder. Finally, this passage teaches us important truths about artistic skill in the life of the church. Let's dig in.
