Activity 1 - Story time - The Garden, the Curtain and the Cross 

 

God asked his people to build the Tabernacle so he could be with them. It was a special tent where a man called a high priest could listen and talk to God. But this was never the plan forever, God's plan was not to meet us in a tent but meet us in our hearts. 

​

The Tabernacle was a model -  a way of showing people what God’s big plan was. That plan was to send Jesus who would become like that High priest and who would bring us close to God if we believed in him, but Jesus would be so much better because he was God and he could do this forever and ever.

​

If you have a copy of 'The Garden, The Curtain and The Cross' then why not read it together, or you can watch a video of the story in the video above.

 

Activity 2 - Create a Tabernacle 

 

Could you make a model of a Tabernacle, or a picture of the Tabernacle? 

Could you make a tent in your house like the tabernacle and think about what it would have been like to see in real life. 

​

Whilst in your tent you could thank God that you don’t have to meet him in a tent, but you can meet him anywhere if we believe in Jesus.
