The Lamb and The Golden Calf. 3.

How can a people who have witnessed tremendous miracles and heard the voice of God make a golden idol and worship it? It hardly makes any sense! Thousands died as a result but thousands more were forgiven because of a Lamb.

It makes sense that there would have been Egyptian influence around the calf as it’s very similar to the designs in ancient Egypt, but the Jewish people should have said no. Thank God that He is so patient and merciful with both Israel and us who have been grafted in. Thx for todays message. 👍

HERE'S THE POINT I SHOULD HAVE MADE. God was going to destroy all the people, this means that they were all guilty to some degree. But, following Moses' successful intercession for them only a certain proportion of the people were killed, these were probably active participants in the idolatry. But, if the rest were spared because they didn't actively participate, what was their guilt? Maybe it was because THEY SAID NOTHING. That's a great lesson for us today. We may not actively participate in the sins of this Age but saying nothing is not a healthy option.
