20:8 Speak to that rock. God commanded Moses and Aaron to speak to the rock, not to strike it as God had commanded Moses to do at Horeb (Ex 17:1-7; see next note). 20:12 You will not bring this community into the land. Moses was forbidden to lead God’s people into Canaan because he had not carefully followed the Lord’s command (compare v. 8 with v. 11). Moses was the spiritual leader of God’s people, the one through whom God gave the law. His responsibility to obey the Lord’s word was greater because of his greater position and influence (cf. Jas 3:1). (1) Moses’ sin was twofold. First, he spoke rashly as if God’s glory and power had their source in himself and Aaron (v. 10; cf. Ps 106:33). Second, he then acted rashly by angrily striking the rock twice rather than speaking to it as God had instructed (v. 11). (2) By speaking and acting rashly, Moses showed that he did not trust God with his whole heart (v. 12) and thus “rebelled” against his command (v. 24). At that critical time, Moses lacked faith and obedience. Faith and obedience are always the appropriate response to God’s word (cf. Dt 9:23; 1Sa 12:15; 1Ki 13:21; 2Ki 17:14; Ps 106:33). In addition, Moses failed to treat God as the holy and worthy God, choosing not to fear him and not to obey his command. (3) Through these verses, God reminds all ministers of the gospel that their responsibility to obey the Word of God is greater because of their position and influence. Just as Moses disqualified himself from leading the people into Canaan, ministers today can permanently disqualify themselves from certain areas of leadership by their unfaithfulness to God’s commands Fire Bible. |
