EXODUS - 34:4-14 So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the Lord had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands. Then the Lord came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord. And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming,
The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaing love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebeliion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their chirldren for the sin of the father to the third and fourth generation . SoMoses chiseled out ]
Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. O Lord, if I have found favour in your eyes, he said, then let the Lord go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our wickedness and our sin, and take us as your inheritance
Then the Lord said: I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will do wonders never done in any nation in all the world. The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you. Obey what I command you today
I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare among you. Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.
Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
1 1. The jealousy of God flows from the compassion and mercy of God
11. The jealousy of God flows from the compassion and mercy of God. Verse 14: says the Lord, whose very name is jealous, is a God who is jealous about His relationship with you.
Gods first revelation Yahweh ! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy
God is revealing his jealousy as an expression of His compassion
God will never be indifferent in His relationship with us.
2. The Jealousy of God is for His glory and for our protection
Deutronomy:28:64-66 Then the Lord will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship other gods- gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known. for the sole of your foot. There the Lyou an anxious mind,
Among these nations you will no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the Lord will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing and a despairing heart .
You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day never sure of your life .
That which we are meditating on most of the time has already become our object of our worship.
3 .3. God s jealousy is Redemptive
Yes God was angry. But it was Moses who decides that unfaithful Israel doesn t deserve God s law when he throws and breaks the tablets.
It is in His compassion and in His jealousy for His relationship with His people that God gives them the law a second time.
The law did not redeem Israel because it was only meant to point to the one who would redeem Israel and all of us- Jesus Christ.
MatMatthew 5:17 Jesus says Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them .
If under the law, God was jealous for His people, how much more under grace, Christ will be jealous for His bride
