Jun 30, 2024Sermon: The Comfort of God’s FaceBy: Pastor Ben HulstNumbers 6.22-27: The face of God is key concept in Scripture to understand. With the priestly blessing of Numbers 6, God seeks to instill within Old Testament Israel and us today a new identity in God's grace, love, and attention.

To live in this pattern serves as a guiding light to the world. As Paul reflects the glory of Christ, he shines like a star in the heavens, holding forth the word of life. As other Christians live in that way, so do they. Living this way points all to the higher glory of Christ, where life is found.

Moses had little confidence in the people, but Paul speaks of great confidence because of Christ and the coming of the Spirit. In Christ, we live in a completely different age and strength. It calls us to live confidently as we stay connected to the Word.
