PEACE AND GRACE

The Departure of Moses the Prophet (Sep 18, 2024 / Tout 8, 1741)

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

So the Lord said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.” And he said, “Please, show me Your glory.” Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” But He said, “You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live.”

Exodus 33:17-20
