Listen "Exodus 19: Prepared to Rest in ☧'s Divine Service at Sinai"
Episode Synopsis
Rev. Dr. Alfonso O. Espinosa, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Irvine, California, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Exodus 19.
“On the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. And you shall set limits for the people all around.” Israel finally arrives at Mt. Sinai in Exodus 19. After months of wandering, why does God make them wait longer before receiving the Ten Commandments? And why even when the people are consecrated as a “kingdom of priests,” only Aaron goes with Moses up the mountain? This all foreshadows how “the Ten Words” begin as gospel, meant not as a burden but as rest. Moses & Aaron intercede like Christ, whose intercession is manifest in the Divine Service today.
