Pastor's Notes for Febuary 14

REFLECTING ON THE SCRIPTURES: Veiled Glory. Veiled Glory?

Exodus 34:29-35. Remember Moses—baby in a basket, burning bush, led the exodus, went up the mountain to get the law, but after his time with the Lord, Moses veiled his face because it reflected God’s glory--and the people were afraid.


Luke 9:28-36 (37-42). Peter, James, & John went up the mountain with Jesus to pray. Jesus’ face changed and his clothes became radiant! Moses & Elijah joined them! Salvation history stood before them & a voice from heaven instructed them as to who Jesus is & what they are to do.


2 Corinthians 3:12—4:2. The glory on Moses’ face slowly faded as the radiance of Christ increased. In the presence of the Lord the veil is removed—both then (in Moses’ time) and now in Christ. And in Christ, by the power of the Spirit, we are being changed from one degree of glory to another!

Psalm 99. Come in reverence before the Lord. Exalt him with praise. Declare him holy, a lover of justice and righteousness. Remember his mighty acts of redemption. Worship at his holy mountain....
