This event was a precursor to Jesus’ dying on the cross for our sins. Moses had personally experienced God’s great love and forgiveness. He had also seen God pardon His people multiple times. Like Abraham, Moses spoke boldly to God, asking Him to display His strength. Do you have a similar walking, talking relationship with God? Are there examples from your own life wherein God was slow to anger and forgiving? Notice God adds that natural consequences and punishments will still be served. Even under those conditions, do you see? It is a loving Father, who wants us to learn from our sinful ways!
