Episode notes
Glory Is The Manifest Weightiness Of God
- Glory (kavod) denotes the weightiness and full character of God made manifest.
- Donnie Berry defines it as the fullness of God's wisdom, love, creativity, beauty, strength, compassion, justice, life, and joy shown for us to see, experience, respond to, and participate in.
Moses Seeks Glory To Know God's Core Character
- Moses asks God to "show me your glory" to know God's core character after Israel's covenant failure.
- God answers by revealing mercy and compassion, which Moses then invokes in prayer to secure forgiveness and a renewed covenant.
NT Uses OT Glory Language To Explain Christ And Hope
- New Testament writers use Old Testament glory language to explain Christ and future renewal.
- John draws on Exodus 34 to argue the Son reveals the Father, and Paul frames salvation and hope around 'the glory of God' in Romans.
