12. What are the facts of the
Gospel in the sequence they took place
historically?
·
We
have been looking closer at what Jesus accomplished in his life, death and
resurrection. The events and
accomplishments referred to as the Gospel represent the goal toward which revelation was moving. Therefore the Gospel of Jesus Christ
is the key that unlocks all Scripture. It is in the Gospel that the glory
of God and of Christ is most clearly seen (2 Cor.4:4-6).
Discuss
what the figurative language of 2 Cor.4:4-6 is getting at.
Now, let us ask,
"Why?"
The Bible speaks of actions
(what one does or doesn't do), motives
(why one does or not, what governs one's actions, moves him), attitudes (how or in what spirit one goes
about doing or not doing), and beliefs (ideas taken into one’s heart that govern his
perception).
13. What motivated God to
sacrifice Jesus for our sin? What does
God reveal about His own heart?

Tim.2:4
Tit.3:5
Eph.2:4-8
Jn.3:14-17
Rom.4:6-8
Define mercy. [opposite of propitiation]
Define grace. [not for the righteous]
Dialog
with Ex.33:18-19; 34:5-7 in considering God’s character
But, God was
still angry, so Moses interceded for the people and asked Him to forgive their
sin or blot him out of his book with along them. God answered that He would blot out the ones
who sin against Him and in the day He visits, He will visit their sin upon them. The Lord showed His continuing displeasure by
sending a plague on the people.
God told
Moses that He would send His angel to lead them to the land He promised to
Abraham and drive out its inhabitants, but that He Himself would not go up
among them lest He destroy them (32:30-33:6). Moses again spoke to God and argued that it was
God's presence with them that distinguished His people from all others (33:12-17). The narrative continues as
Moses'
requested to know God, that God show him His ways (33:13) and glory (v.18). "I
will make My goodness
pass before you and proclaim My name 'the Lord.' I will be gracious to whom I will be
gracious, and will show mercy to whom I will show mercy (v.19)."
"the Lord God merciful and gracious, longsuffering and abounding in
goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and
transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the
iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children to the
third and forth generation."
Moses' response is worship (34:5-9).
