Discipleship Focus: Obedience
- Obedience: Genuine and satisfying obedience comes out of our identity. Our true identity comes only from Father.
We’ve spent a number of days on identity lately. It therefore makes sense to spend a day on
obedience. Moses’ identity comes from
God, and here in this chapter we can see the natural result of this
identity. Moses is prepared to be
obedient.
Moses is called up the mountain.
Moses is told to bring two stone tablets. When Moses is told these things he follows
the directive. He also worships. Here we have the picture of obedience.
What is really neat is the result of this obedience. Moses talks to God as a person talks with
another person. His face shines
brilliantly for all to see. When our
identity comes from God and we are obedient into that identity, we find that
our relationship with God is observable to the people around us.
