Passage: Exodus 33:13 & John 14:6-7

As Moses talked intimately with the Lord, the Scripture says "fact to face, as a man speaks with his friend," interceding for his people Israel, he asked the Lord for an even deeper understanding and relationship with him. The Lord answered. The immediate answer was his self-descriptive revelation in Exodus 34:6-7, but a more complete and glorious revelation came later, much later.

 Passage: Exodus 34:6-7

I am going to try to comprehend the incomprehensible, explain the unexplainable, and fathom the unfathomable by attempting to define a pair of Hebrew words, hesed and emet, that the Lord uses to describe himself, words that defy a simple translation into English.

 Passage: Exodus 34:6-7

After revealing his name, the first thing that Yahweh tells us about himself is that he is compassionate and gracious.

 Passage: John 14:15-17

 Passage: Philippians 2:3-5 & Philippians 2:12-15

Phillippians 2:5-11 is such a beautiful and powerful poem about the nature, disposition, obedience, and glory of Jesus Christ that we often fail to pay attention to the verses that are around it, which make and apply the point of the passage. That glorious hymn illustrates the kind of mindset we are to have as followers of Jesus Christ.
