Jesus said you have not chosen me I have chosen you. He wants us to know that he is with us wherever we go.

A study that has come across my mind (but I have not yet pursued) is this.
God commanded the building of the wilderness tabernacle. He commanded that the Holy Place be made of animal skins. In the Holy Place was where we found the Ark of the OT Covenant etc
God never commanded (as far as I have found) these great edifices that were built later.
Could it be that God's plan has always been that His Spirit was contained in skin? First in the animal skins of the tabernacle and then later on inside us?
Just a thought.
