[791.82 --> 792.62] His grace,
[792.76 --> 793.24] his mercy,
[793.32 --> 793.88] his justice,
[794.18 --> 794.88] none of them
[794.88 --> 796.22] hold up to anything
[796.22 --> 797.56] if it weren't
[797.56 --> 799.18] for God's power.
[800.32 --> 801.80] And Moses got that.
[803.06 --> 803.94] So he was afraid.
[805.96 --> 807.12] The distance between
[807.12 --> 808.12] God and man here
[808.12 --> 808.78] is highlighted
[808.78 --> 809.52] in this encounter
[809.52 --> 810.26] and that distance
[810.26 --> 811.36] is measured
[811.36 --> 812.34] by power.
[812.66 --> 813.74] Now all of us today,
[814.82 --> 816.20] this is applicable to us
[816.20 --> 817.20] because in our approaches
[817.20 --> 817.66] to God,
[817.76 --> 818.40] in our approaches
[818.40 --> 819.30] to other man,
[819.82 --> 821.00] it's going to behoove us
[821.00 --> 821.66] all to remember
[821.66 --> 823.26] that infinite distance
[823.26 --> 824.48] that exists
[824.48 --> 825.84] in the power
[825.84 --> 827.78] between us and God.
[829.12 --> 830.08] I think we can so easily
[830.08 --> 830.90] call God friend,
[831.02 --> 831.72] we can so easily
[831.72 --> 832.72] call God our father,
[832.72 --> 833.38] our savior,
[833.76 --> 835.12] we so easily blame him
[835.12 --> 836.30] when things are going wrong,
[836.44 --> 837.40] we get mad at him
[837.40 --> 838.54] when we don't get our way,
[838.72 --> 839.54] we get frustrated
[839.54 --> 840.22] when we don't understand
[840.22 --> 840.82] what's happening,
[841.00 --> 842.10] but how often
[842.10 --> 843.20] do we sit
[843.20 --> 844.50] and tremble
[844.50 --> 846.46] at the reality
[846.46 --> 847.36] that God
[847.36 --> 850.10] is so much
[850.10 --> 852.28] more infinitely powerful
[852.28 --> 854.06] than any of us?
[854.06 --> 856.92] and in a culture
[856.92 --> 858.44] that teaches us
[858.44 --> 859.14] that we are
[859.14 --> 860.38] our own gods,
[861.06 --> 863.42] this is incredibly important
[863.42 --> 864.34] for us to remember.
[866.38 --> 867.82] So that's the first characteristic.
[868.00 --> 868.74] God is powerful.
[869.22 --> 869.94] What's beautiful
[869.94 --> 870.96] in this passage though
[870.96 --> 872.28] is that in
[872.28 --> 873.52] his infinite
[873.52 --> 874.68] and ultimate power,
[874.94 --> 876.62] we see a second characteristic
[876.62 --> 878.20] come to the top
[878.20 --> 879.32] and shine through.
[879.32 --> 881.52] And this is a characteristic
[881.52 --> 882.74] that often doesn't
[882.74 --> 884.18] accompany power.
[885.78 --> 886.68] And that is that
[886.68 --> 887.84] God is concerned
[887.84 --> 889.76] for his people.
[891.42 --> 892.90] That's the sole reason
[892.90 --> 893.66] for this encounter
[893.66 --> 894.38] in the first place.
[894.84 --> 896.46] God was concerned
[896.46 --> 897.78] for his people.
[899.30 --> 900.86] Just before this passage,
[901.06 --> 902.18] the last three verses
[902.18 --> 903.20] in Exodus 2,
[903.40 --> 904.76] there's four terms used
[904.76 --> 908.26] to describe God's response
[908.26 --> 909.16] to his people's suffering.
[909.68 --> 910.44] So if you've got your Bibles,
[910.54 --> 911.16] you can look at that too.
[911.22 --> 912.58] Exodus 2, 23 to 25.
[912.90 --> 913.52] God heard
[913.52 --> 914.94] his people's groaning.
[915.34 --> 916.18] He remembered
[916.18 --> 917.62] his promises to them.
[917.70 --> 918.34] He saw
[918.34 --> 919.34] their suffering
[919.34 --> 920.46] and he knew
[920.46 --> 921.46] they needed saving.
[922.46 --> 923.16] God heard,
[923.38 --> 923.86] remembered,
[924.24 --> 924.52] saw,
[924.68 --> 925.14] and knew.
[925.70 --> 926.62] And then in this text
[926.62 --> 927.56] that we read to today,
[928.08 --> 928.60] God
[928.60 --> 931.66] uses the same language.
