Old Testament
17. And the LORD said to Moses, "I will also do this thing that you say, for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.
18. Moses said, Please show me Your glory.
19. I will make all my good things pass before you, says the Lord, and I will declare the name of the Lord before you; I will show kindness to whom I will be gracious, and I will show mercy to whom I will have mercy.
20. And he said to them, "You shall not see my face, for no one will see me and live."
21. And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place beside me; stand on the rock.
22. When my glory passes by, I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with my hand until I pass by.
23. I will withdraw my hand, and you will see my back and not my face.
new testament
12. Since we have such a hope, we say with boldness,
13. We are not as Moses put a veil over his face, so that the children of Israel would not notice the end of what was to come.
14. But their hearts are hardened, and to this day, when the Old Testament is read, the veil has not been removed, and the veil will perish in Christ.
15. To this day, as he read the writings of Moses, a veil covered his heart.
16. But whenever you return to the Lord, the veil will be removed.
17. The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
18. We all saw the glory of the Lord with our naked faces as looking in a mirror, and we were changed into the same image from glory to glory, even by the Spirit of the Lord.
sermon
Why don't we end up getting what we crave for? Why do we worship and pray and ask God, but we do not get it? What can we learn when faced with a helpless situation that is inevitable as human beings?
1. Behold Jesus Christ: Moses covered his face with a towel in front of the Israelites. It was because the people who saw God were afraid because the face of Moses, who had come down from Sinai after meeting God, was shining. God exalted Jesus Christ and made him the Lord of glory.
2. Shifting the focus to God: Where is our concern? Is it me or is it God? Am I looking forward to what God will give me, do I see what is in his hands or do I see him? When will our focus shift from me to God?
3. What Moses wanted to see: God promised Moses that he would go with Moses himself. But Moses was not satisfied with that. He begged, “Show me Your glory.” God granted Moses' request, and Moses, seeing the glory of God, became a different person than he was before.
What are we waiting for this Advent? bless you? peace on earth? Hope the relationship recovers? Hope the game gets better? no. We will never be satisfied if all of those things are done.
Until you see the glory of God. The world is moving for him, not us.
