Exodus 20:18-20
He Has Hushed the Law’s Loud Thunder
Summary:
If you have ever been really afraid, you know how it feels to tremble with fear. When God’s people stood before Him at Mount Sinai, they were filled with fear. Today, let’s finish the Ten Commandments by thinking about why they were afraid, and how God helped them in their fear.
Outline:
1. The fear
2. The Mediator
3. The assurance
Verse:
Psalm 96:4 (ESV): For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
he is to be feared above all gods.
Questions for devotions and family worship:
1. Why do God’s people tremble with fear in this passage, and ask that God not speak directly to them? What does this reveal about God, and about ourselves?
2. Why does Moses tell them not to fear? As saved people, is it appropriate for us to fear God?
3. How does Moses’ role in this passage help us understand our need for a Mediator? How does Jesus fulfill this perfectly?
4. How should this passage help us understand the Gospel, and shape our obedience to Him?
