Exodus 19

This chapter illustrates a critical distinction between the role of Moses and that of Jesus. When Moses led the people, they were barred from joining him on the mountain with God. They could not draw near to God or they would die. Although God had called them to be His people, had rescued them from Pharaoh, and led them in the desert, they could not have a personal relationship with Him because of their sinful nature.

In Jesus, God made a way for us to have a personal relationship with our eternal and infinite God! Jesus is more than an intermediary as Moses was, simply going between sinful man and holy God to communicate God's will. Jesus is God dwelling in us. He took the death that we deserve for approaching a holy God in our sinful state. Now when we approach God, He sees His beloved Son rather than our sin.

Jesus also serves as our Great High Priest, but not in the way that Moses or Aaron had. He intercedes for us not because of a sacrifice that we make, but because of the sacrifice He made for us. He pleads our case not on our merits, but on His.​

Today, I will focus on obedience, not for the sake of gaining God's favor, but in gratitude for the favor He's already shown in Christ.
