V.1-11 Special men and women for the special work of building the tabernacle (see Mark 13:23). When the Lord saves you, you are prepared for the work He has for you to do, if you are willing to obey (See 2 Tim. 2:21). Notice some nice remarks. The Lord says, concerning these workers, “I have called by name, I have filled him with the spirit of God in wisdom ... understanding ... knowledge ... workmanship (Read 1 John 2:20; Eph. 1:8; 2 Tim. 2:21).
V.12-18 The importance of the Sabbath. (Read Ex. 16:23-26, for the first time it is mentioned in Scripture). It means “rest because of a finished work.” Creation tells us this (Genesis 2:3). The consequence of disobeying (v. 14). In Christianity we do not keep the Sabbath for it has come to an end (Read Rom. 10:4). Jesus was dead all day Saturday and was raised from the dead on Sunday morning, the Lord’s Day (John 20:1). The first day of the week is the believer’s day (Read Acts 20:7 to see what the believer is to do on that day). There is a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17).
