Bible Note: CKatayama, Good observation. I would stress less God's equipping Moses with a natural tendency to lead than the immensity of Moses' self-sacrificial faith, a quality which makes him a "type" of Jesus: "But now, if You will, forgive their sin--and if not, please blot me out from Your book which You have written!" (Exo 32:32) The context of the above is that Moses' has just been told God is willing to destroy all Israel and start over with Moses' offspring, an offer unique in all history. Moses' free response is a universal model of loving, self-sacrificial faith. God's response to Moses' self-offering is an example His merciful lovingkindness. God elicited from Moses' what He knew pre-existed within him; God disposed him, Moses chose Him. Colin |
