Greetings to the Gungahlin Uniting community
Today we conclude our series featuring THE GREAT ESCAPE. The pilgrims are on the cusp of entering into the promised land. Moses (who will not make it himself) challenges the people to make a decision – the choice being fundamentally to “choose life”.
Behind such a choice, there is always the further question – life for whom?
A Relenting God
In today’s remarkable episode (Exodus 32: 1-14) Moses gets God “to change his mind” from giving up on the Israelites after they fashioned a golden calf when it seemed that God was absent. Other biblical instances of God’s mind being changed include: Jeremiah who quotes the LORD saying “I will change my mind about the disaster that I intended” and in Jonah we also have a clearly relenting God.
So why so much emphasis on an unchanging God? Is it that any change in God would be seen as an imperfection?
