Welcome to the second to last session in our Exodus series.
We’re in the part of the story where Moses went up to Mt. Sinai to talk to God, but he was away for too long, the Israelites got restless –which is really their fault because they didn’t want to join him.
During the entire 40 days that Moses was up on the mountain with Yahweh, the Israelites didn’t hear anything from him. Because of the news blackout, the Israelites began to feel uncertain, and thus, impatient.
Driven by their uncertainty, they assumed that Moses was dead. Or he escaped to Timbuktu and abandoned them.
To them, Moses was a goner. And so, Yahweh was gone too.
The Israelites tried to take control of their uncertainty by making a golden calf to be their god.
The key message: Led God be God.
