Words Well Spoken - The Request for a Mediator

So fearful was the occasion when the Lord descended upon Mt. Sinai that the Israelites realized that they could not endure the glory of God. And so they submit a request to Moses that he go near to God to hear what the Lord would say and then convey to them what the Lord would reveal to him. The Lord commended them for this request. You see this request recognized the need and expressed the desire for a Mediator. We have the same need today and that need is met in Christ - the only Mediator between God and man. In preparation for the Lord's table we study these words spoken by the Israelites which received high commendation from God.
