Moses and the Transformation of Mediation

By: Mike Mazzalongo     Posted: Fri. Apr 10th
Discussion Questions
  1. Why was God's offer of angelic guidance insufficient for Moses, and what does this reveal about true covenant identity?
  2. How does Moses' request to "know Your ways" reshape the purpose of leadership and mediation?
  3. In what ways does Exodus 33 prepare readers to understand later biblical teaching about access to God?
