In Numbers 20, Moses took credit for what God was going to do and lost his temper again. He forced the people to drink the gold then says, who is with me? The Levites rise up. His own tribe rises up and he says, now slaughter a number of men. I think they killed 3,000 people that day who worshiped the cow.
Called by God to lead his people to the promised land, Moses is heralded as a prophet like no other—one with whom God spoke face to face. But between his murderous past, bursts of anger that ultimately kept him from entering the promised land, and his own record that he was the most humble man to ever live, is he the hero we think? In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland tackle the complicated details of Moses’s life, reflecting on how God works in and through sinners.
