He is pleading our cause before God, when we are hardly able to express what we want; who is therefore called the Word of the Father, because God, by him, has discovered his will to us; as he is also called 'the Mediator,' because he solicits our cause before God. When Moses complained that he was of slow speech, and a slow tongue, that so he might avoid carrying the commanded message to Pharaoh, God tells him, 'Aaron thy brother can speak well, he shall be to thee instead of a mouth.' Se we also, when we shall pray, are dull, and slow of speech, and therefore must fly to Christ, our heavenly Aaron, who is to us instead of a mouth. Therefore Christ commands us to pray in his name, who is our eternal High-priest, 'having an everlasting priesthood,' (Heb. 7:24,) 'interceding for us,' (Rom. 8:34,) 'in whom we have boldness,' and access with confidence by the faith of him,' Eph. 3:12.","author":"Johann Arndt","tags":["aaron","god","jesus","moses","prayer"],"id":43770,"author_id":"Johann+Arndt"},{"text":"He got off on Lincoln and slavery and dared any man there to deny that Lincoln and the negro and Moses and the children of Israel were the same, and that the Red Sea was just the blood that had to be spilled in order that the black race might cross into the Promised Land.","author":"William Faulkner","tags":["israel","lincoln","moses","negro","promised-land","racism","red-sea"],"id":110548,"author_id":"William+Faulkner"},{"text":"No one can read the books of Moses with any care without understanding that law can be a means of grace. Certainly this law is of one spirit with the Son of Man who says, 'I was hungry and you fed me. I was naked and you clothed me.' This kind of worldliness entails the conferring of material benefit over and above mere equity. It means a recognition of and respect for both the intimacy of God's compassion and the very tangible forms in which it finds expression.","author":"Marilynne Robinson","tags":["compassion","law-and-grace","levitcal-law","moses"],"id":112173,"author_id":"Marilynne+Robinson"},{"text":"Dignity is never silent.
