From Genesis to Revelation it is a tragic drama of man’s persistant re­ bellion against God and neyer-end- ing effort to get away from God. It is also a glorious oratorio of God’s persistent, undefeatable and, un­ quenchable .love for man, carrying through in triumph His purpose of redemption for lost race, no matter . , what the cost to Himself. The Bibleed grains were improved by rainfall if? nQt story as some would have think, of man’s seeking God, but of God’s seeking man. This week’s I lesson is a vivid and startling ex­ hibit of this, While Moses was on the,, heights with God in the mount receiving the law and the ten commandments, what were God’s chosen people do­ ing—those people whom He had brought miraculously out of the land of bondage, had led on dry feet through the Red Sea, liad fed boun­ tifully in the wilderness, and , was guiding safely through * all dangers by His personal presence in a pillar of cloud and of fire? ' God had call­ ed Moses up into Mount Sinai, "and the sight of the glory of the Lord, was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the^eyes of the chil­ dren of Israel. And Moses went in­ to the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount, and Moses was in the mount forty days'” and forty night/’, ■ x And Israel could not stand the ■'simple test of waiting. Can you and I stand it? A faith that will not wait for God when He seems to de­ lay is not much of a faith. Because ,Moses did not return quickly, the people went to Aaron and demanded that he make gods for them,” for as this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him,”. Aaron was a priest of God, who utterly betrays his trust. All believ-; ers today, who have received Christ as Saviour and Lord, are “kings and priests” unto Him. Have we ever betrayed His trust, His name? Aaron told the people to -bring' him their jewelry of gold, arid he' took it and made a molten calf of gold Then this priest of God built' an altar before the calf, proclaimed a feast unto the Lord and told Is-' rael that ’here were the gods which had brought-them up out of the land; of Egypt. When men sin, they of-; ten like to do it in the pame of re-’ ligian. There follows an inspired account1 of the righteous ‘ ~ ' against the people, and a very mar­ velous prhyer of their behalf by Moses. God was un-‘ doulbtedly testing Moses, and Moses; met the test magnificently. For in4 this lesson- is -fecorded one of the two great intercessory prayers in all' history entered by human beings—• the Apostle Paul’s was the other, Moses prayed, confessing before God that this people han sinned a great sin, and he said: "Yet now, if thou will forgive their sin1—and if not,, blot me, I pray Thee, out of Thy' bpok which Thou hast written.” More than- 1,500 years later Paul' prayed for his fellow-Tsraelites, tell­ ing of his continual sorrow because of their sin and apostasy, and he said: “For I could wish that my­ self were accursed from Christ for’ my brethren, my (kinsmen according to the flesh.” (Rom. 9:3). x .1 As Moses came down from the mount and approached the camp,, the whole tragic scene 'burst upon his eyes and ears; the music of the lustful dancing; the worships of the golden calf; the blasphemous mix­ ture of all this with professed wor­ ship of God. The Israelites had al­ ready broken most or the ten com­ mandments. “And Modes’ anger waxed hot, and he cast Hie tables of stone out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount^.” These were the tables of stone written by the hand of God rebuked Moses for retaining the laws that Israel had so grievously brokerir.- “The wages of sin is death,” and some 3,0'00 men of Israel paid the death penalty^ that day. But God did not cast off His people, then or later; “Hath God c^st away His people?” Paul asked, and he answers' his question, “God forbid/' is tem­ porarily set aside, dispersed among the nations, outmast in fulfilment ot the divine prophecies; but the time is coming when God will bring His people back-to Himself; they recognize their Messiah whom have rejected; and then indeed shall be honored and as no other people - on has promised it, and keeps His word.
