In this video, I explore the biblical concept of tabernacle and how it symbolizes God's presence among humanity, particularly in the context of community and belonging. I emphasize that all humans have an inherent drive to dwell together and form relationships, which is essential for a fulfilling life. I discuss the Greek word "Skeno," meaning to occupy and make habitation, highlighting the importance of engagement and responsibility within our communities. I invite you to reflect on your own tabernacling experiences and consider how your environment shapes your identity and way of life. Please take some time to contemplate how you can promote the good in your community and align your life with God's vision.
