“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid….”

God has such a deep-seated need to forgive sinners that he came into our world and took our sin and its punishment upon himself, leaving us to experience his compassion and love. To God, this was the only possible solution. There was no other way. He abounds with so much love and compassion that it has to come out somewhere. God has to forgive people, because this is who he is.

When your sin and mine goes up before God in heaven, Jesus does for us what Moses did for the Israelites.   He INTERCEDES….

The whole point of what happened on Mt. Sinai was to prepare people for what would happen 1500 years later on another mountain (Mt. Calvary)… where Jesus took our sin upon his shoulders, and placed his perfect obedience upon ours.
