About this episode
We live in an age that wants a domesticated God. We want a God who is manageable, predictable, and above all, nice. Our modern sensibilities prefer a divine therapist, a celestial butler, or a cosmic affirmation machine. But the God of the Bible, the God who is actually there, is none of these things. And if we do not understand this, we will never understand the gospel. The good news is not that God overlooks our sin, but that He has provided a way to survive His holiness. Nowhere is this holy terror more jarringly displayed than in our text today. This is one of those passages that modern, squeamish evangelicals tend to skip over. Moses, the man who just had a lengthy conversation with God at a burning bush, the man commissioned to be the great deliverer of Israel, is on his way to do the very thing God told him to do.
