Subject: Moses shining face |
Bible Note: Ex 34:30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him. Ex 34:31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them. Makarios has explained how 2 Cor 3 tells us it was a fading glory. But did you notice something about this story. The fact that the people were afraid of the shining and would not draw nigh. It was not a good thing that Moses had to wear a viel. The viel was a testimony against the unbelief and hardness of heart of the people. Also notice in 2 Cor 3 that he constrasts that fading glory that was visible to them with an unfading glory which is invisible (for now in this life) for us, made available to us who have faith and not a fearful unbelieving heart. Even today we must examine ourselves to make sure we are of the company of the "open face" and not of the number of those that shrink back. |
