• It will be remarked that both Bezaleel and Aholiab are divinely named. They were distinguished by name, and called. This principle runs through all dispensations. The apostle adduces it when speaking of the priesthood of Christ. He says, “So also Christ glorified not Himself to be made an high priest; but He that said unto Him, Thou art My Son, today have I begotten Thee. As He saith also in another place, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchisedec” (Heb. 5:5-6) In like manner he speaks of himself as “an apostle by the will of God” (1 Cor. 1:1; 2 Cor. 1:1). (“Qualifications for Service: Exodus 31” by E. Dennett)
• The essence of all service, indeed, lies in obedience; for if I am not doing God’s will it is not service. The Lord Himself characterizes the whole of His life of service as obedience: “I came down from heaven,” (Josh. 10:11) He says, “not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me” (John 6:38). It should therefore be our first concern to ascertain whether we have been sent by the Lord, whether we have been called to our work and service, like Bezaleel and Aholiab (“Qualifications for Service: Exodus 31” by E. Dennett)
