What does it mean for us to be artists in our work? To encounter Jesus as an artist in his work?
In the Exodus story, craftsmen like Bezalel and Oholiab were filled with the Spirit of God to do “skilled work.” Even if we’re not literal artists or craftworkers like that, we, too, can do works of beauty just by doing our work well. We exercise the “ministry of competence” in a way that brings God’s beauty and goodness into the world in the most tangible ways.
When Jesus breathes on us, filling us with the Holy Spirit, he makes our work into ministry.
