YHWH’s glory is found in the depth of His character. The glory of YHWH is completely found in the person of Jesus.

In the absence of a mediator, our sin would destroy us. Sin demands mediation.

The current of idolatry drifts us to the shores of apostasy. You cannot stop the drift, but you can stay the course (Heb. 6:19). The only rescue from our idolatry is a mediator who brings atonement (v. 30) whereby propitiating or answering the just sentence of God and placates the wrath of God against us (vv. 10, 12).

God desires and designed us to dwell with Him for our joy. God wants to be with you for your joy.

The heart of YHWH is on display as he confirms his covenant with the nation of Israel. The Law reveals who he is, what he’s like, and how his people can live as a kingdom of priests and a holy nation in the land of promised blessing. The inauguration of this Theocracy is not only celebratory, but a shadow pointing to substance.

God’s redemptive action changes us and causes us to love Him and to love one another.

What Israel failed to do in keeping the Law, Jesus did. Today, His people enjoy all the benefits of the Law because of His perfect obedience to the Law.

God is making good on his promise to provide a deliverer who will rescue  His people, destroy His enemies, and restore them to a place of rest.  God supplying the manna in the wilderness is a foreshadowing of this deliverer later identified as Jesus in John 6.

God promises to provide a KING [MEDIATOR | SEED] who will 1) rescue [deliver] His people by 2) destroying His enemies [BLOOD] , and 3) restore them to the place of rest [ LAND].   Exodus is a shadow of what is to come in the person and work of JESUS .

The JESUS SEED is always producing GOSPEL FRUIT.

The Bible forms our worldview. The Vision of God and the Mission of God define for us our response to everything unfolding around us. The Bible calls the Church to bring what is uniquely ours into the unbelieving world. We are not to bring what is uniquely theirs into the church.

We must work to listen to God through His Word.

In our context, there are two life-identifying brands: circumcision or crucifixion . Either one or the other will classify you in your community.

The driving force behind this decision was the Scriptures themselves (1:16-20). Through his meditations on the Psalms, Peter sa...

The ascension of our Lord is His enthronement. It is when He takes the throne and is invested with the authority and power to rule over His kingdom and its citizens. He is an absolute monarch who works all He wills in and through His people for His glory and for their joy.
