[791.82 --> 792.62] His grace, |
[792.76 --> 793.24] his mercy, |
[793.32 --> 793.88] his justice, |
[794.18 --> 794.88] none of them |
[794.88 --> 796.22] hold up to anything |
[796.22 --> 797.56] if it weren't |
[797.56 --> 799.18] for God's power. |
[800.32 --> 801.80] And Moses got that. |
[803.06 --> 803.94] So he was afraid. |
[805.96 --> 807.12] The distance between |
[807.12 --> 808.12] God and man here |
[808.12 --> 808.78] is highlighted |
[808.78 --> 809.52] in this encounter |
[809.52 --> 810.26] and that distance |
[810.26 --> 811.36] is measured |
[811.36 --> 812.34] by power. |
[812.66 --> 813.74] Now all of us today, |
[814.82 --> 816.20] this is applicable to us |
[816.20 --> 817.20] because in our approaches |
[817.20 --> 817.66] to God, |
[817.76 --> 818.40] in our approaches |
[818.40 --> 819.30] to other man, |
[819.82 --> 821.00] it's going to behoove us |
[821.00 --> 821.66] all to remember |
[821.66 --> 823.26] that infinite distance |
[823.26 --> 824.48] that exists |
[824.48 --> 825.84] in the power |
[825.84 --> 827.78] between us and God. |
[829.12 --> 830.08] I think we can so easily |
[830.08 --> 830.90] call God friend, |
[831.02 --> 831.72] we can so easily |
[831.72 --> 832.72] call God our father, |
[832.72 --> 833.38] our savior, |
[833.76 --> 835.12] we so easily blame him |
[835.12 --> 836.30] when things are going wrong, |
[836.44 --> 837.40] we get mad at him |
[837.40 --> 838.54] when we don't get our way, |
[838.72 --> 839.54] we get frustrated |
[839.54 --> 840.22] when we don't understand |
[840.22 --> 840.82] what's happening, |
[841.00 --> 842.10] but how often |
[842.10 --> 843.20] do we sit |
[843.20 --> 844.50] and tremble |
[844.50 --> 846.46] at the reality |
[846.46 --> 847.36] that God |
[847.36 --> 850.10] is so much |
[850.10 --> 852.28] more infinitely powerful |
[852.28 --> 854.06] than any of us? |
[854.06 --> 856.92] and in a culture |
[856.92 --> 858.44] that teaches us |
[858.44 --> 859.14] that we are |
[859.14 --> 860.38] our own gods, |
[861.06 --> 863.42] this is incredibly important |
[863.42 --> 864.34] for us to remember. |
[866.38 --> 867.82] So that's the first characteristic. |
[868.00 --> 868.74] God is powerful. |
[869.22 --> 869.94] What's beautiful |
[869.94 --> 870.96] in this passage though |
[870.96 --> 872.28] is that in |
[872.28 --> 873.52] his infinite |
[873.52 --> 874.68] and ultimate power, |
[874.94 --> 876.62] we see a second characteristic |
[876.62 --> 878.20] come to the top |
[878.20 --> 879.32] and shine through. |
[879.32 --> 881.52] And this is a characteristic |
[881.52 --> 882.74] that often doesn't |
[882.74 --> 884.18] accompany power. |
[885.78 --> 886.68] And that is that |
[886.68 --> 887.84] God is concerned |
[887.84 --> 889.76] for his people. |
[891.42 --> 892.90] That's the sole reason |
[892.90 --> 893.66] for this encounter |
[893.66 --> 894.38] in the first place. |
[894.84 --> 896.46] God was concerned |
[896.46 --> 897.78] for his people. |
[899.30 --> 900.86] Just before this passage, |
[901.06 --> 902.18] the last three verses |
[902.18 --> 903.20] in Exodus 2, |
[903.40 --> 904.76] there's four terms used |
[904.76 --> 908.26] to describe God's response |
[908.26 --> 909.16] to his people's suffering. |
[909.68 --> 910.44] So if you've got your Bibles, |
[910.54 --> 911.16] you can look at that too. |
[911.22 --> 912.58] Exodus 2, 23 to 25. |
[912.90 --> 913.52] God heard |
[913.52 --> 914.94] his people's groaning. |
[915.34 --> 916.18] He remembered |
[916.18 --> 917.62] his promises to them. |
[917.70 --> 918.34] He saw |
[918.34 --> 919.34] their suffering |
[919.34 --> 920.46] and he knew |
[920.46 --> 921.46] they needed saving. |
[922.46 --> 923.16] God heard, |
[923.38 --> 923.86] remembered, |
[924.24 --> 924.52] saw, |
[924.68 --> 925.14] and knew. |
[925.70 --> 926.62] And then in this text |
[926.62 --> 927.56] that we read to today, |
[928.08 --> 928.60] God |
[928.60 --> 931.66] uses the same language. |
