This sermon draws out wondrous truth about God from Moses sermon to the new generation of God’s people who are close to entering into the promised land.
Firstly, we are reminded that God is a generous God faithful in keeping all of his promises. God has consistently lavished his people with undeserved and unearned gifts throughout all of history because he is full of grace. All he required from this new generation and requires from us is a yes, let’s go!
Secondly, we are reminded that God is a powerful loving Father. There were many reasons for this new generation and there are today for us to be gripped by fear. But we can stand firm in the promises of God that he will fight for us in life and carry us through every event. Therefore, fear need not overcome us, as our God is greater.
Finally, Jesus is proclaimed as our wonderful saviour that we should listen to. This new generation and previous generations failed to listen to Moses. Yet, there was one greater prophet to come, that Moses and Peter urged all people to listen to. This was Jesus! Let us today listen to the words of Jesus that salvation comes only through believing in him.
Lord, let us bathe in these wondrous truths about who you are, listening to every word that you speak, and putting them into action.
