QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION AT HOME OR IN GOSPEL COMMUNITY GROUPS
Sermon manuscript available at emmausrbc.org
- The Old Mosaic Covenant was a covenant of works. Israel broke it. They deserved to be cut off. But God showed mercy. Why did God show mercy? On what basis?
- Why is it important to see that a new covenant was not being made with Isarel in this episode? The one they just entered into and broke was being reinstated. What evidence for this is found in the text?
- What does this reinstatement of the covenant reveal about the LORD, his attributes, and his ways?
- What does the LORD further reveal about himself in this text? See Exodus 34:6-8.
- What did the radiant glory that fell upon Moses signify? What did the fact of it fading signify? See 2 Corinthians 3.
- Discuss the mercy of God, or his patience with fallen humanity. What is its purpose? Why has he delayed the full and final judgment?
