<p>If God is so wonderful, why doesn’t he just forgive everyone? This week we wrap up our study of Exodus with the story of the Golden Calf, then we see God reveal his glory to Moses more directly than any other place in the Bible. God sure is a Holy, compassionate, slow-to-anger God who is full of steadfast loyal love, but he is also just, and will by no means clear the guilty. So that begs the question: are we guilty? And if so, do we have hope?</p> <p>This, too, points to Jesus, and we see that through the work of Christ—and only through the work of Christ—do we get declared “not guilty”.</p> <p>*Note that the New Testament reference of “Unveiled Faces” is from 2 Corinthians 3:12-18, not Hebrews. The “Shine like stars” reference is from Philippians 2.</p> <p>You can find the class handout PDF here: https://electricsystemconsulting.com/secret</p> <p>All music recorded by Jonathan.
