Part Two: The Presence

The people have sinned grievously.
Broken communion with a God who had shown Himself to be so faithful and loving.
Unspeakable, piercing rebellion.

And now Moses intercedes for the people,
pleading their case
before the Sovereign.
“Remember that this nation is your people (vs 13).”

Remember, O God, your love for your people.
Not their sin,
not their stubborn selfishness,
but your love and mercy.

A type of Christ.
And God promises His presence,
His very self, to be with Moses.

Beautiful.

That Presence is with us too,
through the intercession of Christ.
The Spirit of God
dwelling among and within us.

Unthinkable.
But true.
Because of Christ and for His glory.

And with his Presence He promises rest.
