—Exodus 19:1-8

What an extraordinary line of communication Moses had with God. God gave Moses a message for the people. The people responded and he took back their answer to God. Does it mean that God did not hear their answer, so Moses had to take it to Him? No! Here God was establishing a Priestly Nation, so God was demonstrating how it would work. The Priest would speak to God for the people. The precedent was set and carried through until Jesus became our High Priest. In our sinful state, we cannot stand in God’s presence. But Jesus has gone before God on our behalf and by His sacrifice, He has given us access.
