This Wednesday, we will reflect on the Burning Bush revelation to Moses. Not on the assignment given
by the bush hosting God, but on God revealed in the bush on fire but not
consumed. We will discuss the God revealed in the Biblical narrative, the God
revealed by the hopes of a holy, just deity, and have some closing words about living
inside an invisible lifeform best described as God.
God, as revealed
to Moses and those familiar with the Biblical stories, is judge, jury, and
executioner. He is also the lawgiver. God pronounced death penalties and commissioned executioners and soldiers sometimes told to kill men, women, and
children. He is God-creator and destroyer. Some vessels were created for life, while
others were for destruction. Some deeds found so vile those that do them only worthy
of eternal burning!
The hopes of
a holy and just God reveal a reasoned approach to judgment instead of
authoritarian. Universal law guide of harmless liberty allowance or one is acting in violation
of liberty might even temper rulings. Punishments fit for the offenses may be sought.
Preventative measures might be deployed. Even emp weapons may be deployed on holy Angels' battlefields to knock out God's enemies for confinement
until rehabilitated. Knowing their Holy God ascribes to doing the right thing
may be what keeps God's people loyal…
What is it
like to live inside an invisible lifeform best described as God? You could
answer that yourself if it is the essential facts of life contained in there is an infinite living mind, we all live inside! For me, it gives a sense of comfort
and expectation of miracles. The Bible is full of God's blessings, promises, and even his loving forgiveness. Read it to learn more about God than I
could teach in one reflection.
Sorry about Sunday.
I had technical problems, so no sermon. See you next Sunday.
