Tomorrow we will be walking through a comparison between Moses and Jesus. Talk about two giants! One thing that sticks out (although I have to confess that the previous statement seems to be one that is understated by me all the time - lol) is the statement that "...Moses was faithful in all God's house...". Really? Moses was considered faithful? Isn't this the man that murdered an Egyptian? Didn't he argue with God on several occasions? I remember something about a rock and Moses getting so mad at the people that he struck the rock instead of speaking to it. But, as someone in our care group wisely said,'doesn't that also demonstrate the awesome love and grace of our God?' - absolutely. And that is what is so amazing about the Bible. In no way shape or form does it try to hind the human failings. We humans are on display in all our ugliness. And God still chooses to use the weak, the frail, the scared, the inadequate, the marginalized, to work within His plan. And as that person lives out their life for God and dependant upon Him, they are considered faithful. So as I read through this section again and again I pause when I read that Moses was faithful - because he knew God and more importantly, God knew Moses. Warts and all. What a wonderful gift of grace.
Have fun in chapter 3.
