—Deuteronomy 32:48-52
by: J. Gabriel Alegre.
Hebrews 10:31 states, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” Moses had sinned and the consequences were severe. However God was still compassionate and merciful and allowed Moses to view the land—the Promised Land which the people of Israel were to inherit. It is God’s way of showing Moses that he (God) is a keeper of promises and compassionate towards us even when we fail to honor his name by the things which we do. In Moses’ case, he did not honor God in the midst of God’s people (Leviticus 10:3).
