Reflected Glory - Part 5
Exodus 34:34-35
01/26/2024
34 Whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak
with him, he would remove the veil, until he came
out. And when he came out and told the people of
Israel what he was commanded,
35 the people of Israel would see the face of Moses,
that the skin of Moses' face was shining. And
Moses would put the veil over his face again,
until he went in to speak with him. (ESV)
We read in Exodus:
Whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with
him, he would remove the veil, until he came out. And
when he came out and told the people of Israel what he
was commanded, the people of Israel would see the face
of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face was shining. And
Moses would put the veil over his face again, until he
went in to speak with him.
On Transfiguration Sunday we saw Jesus shining because He is
true God. We learned that Moses veiled himself because the
Israelites were afraid to see the reflection of God's glory
because they were sinners. Do we ask Jesus to veil Himself for
the same reason?
Our Lord does hide Himself in the spoken and visible Word.
Each time we hear the Gospel, ``For God did not send his Son into
the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might
be saved through him,''1 we see God's glory hidden in the words.
We believe, teach, and confess that Jesus will, on some unknown
day, fully reveal God's glory when He returns to judge the living
and the dead.
Please join us at Trinity Lutheran Church on Sunday morning
at 9:00 a.m. to learn more of our loving, gracious God, who
desires that you behold Him in the fullness of His glory forever.
Amen.
