Rev. John Lukomski, retired pastor (currently) in Northfield, Minnesota, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Numbers 14.
Moses has had his authority challenged time and again. Now in Numbers 14, the whole people of Israel joins together in mutiny, siding with the ten faithless spies out of fear of the Anakites. They try to stone him as they select a new leader to return to Egypt. Moses may not show effective leadership skills by our standards, but here he demonstrates God’s kind of leadership: he gets on his knees and intercedes for the people in faith, that God would not wipe them out completely.
Like our Lord Jesus, he refuses to let God’s promise rest on him alone. God hears his prayer, and He gives even more grace than Moses asked for. God’s graciousness prevails even in the midst of His wrath, and He is a better Father to the children of Israel than their own parents.
