Key Verse: 32:32
First, Moses' anger burned (15-29). When Moses saw what they had done, his holy anger burned. He threw the tablet of the 10 commandments into pieces. He burned the calf in the fire, ground it to powder, scattered it on the water and made them drink it. He rebuked Aaron. In order to pacify God's anger Moses sensed a drastic action was necessary. The Levites joined Moses and purged their own brothers and relatives. Godly love is above human love.
Second, blot me out of the book (30-35). Then Moses went up to God. He prayed to blot him out from the book of life for his people to be forgiven. But God pronounced that whoever has sinned against God, he will blot them out. God told Moses to lead the people with his angel ahead of them. God also punished the people for their worship of the golden calf. This all shows that nothing or no one can atone for us except the blood of Jesus.
Prayer: Lord, who can atone our sins? I thank and praise God for Jesus who was cursed so that I could be saved.
One Word: Thank you Jesus who died for me
