Moses was on top of Mt. Sinai when he cried out, "Show me Your Glory!" To which the Lord replied, "I will make all of my goodness pass by you..."
 

THE GLORY OF GOD IS HIS GOODNESS
 

Without the progressive revelation of God's goodness to us He would just remain a mystery of our imagination. Throughout history, we have experienced God in the form of a voice making the very earth shake with each word. The cloud by day gave us a covering from the blistering heat while providing and atmosphere cool enough to live in. We saw the pillar of fire that illuminated the desert night while still keeping us arm. We drank clean water that once was contaminated. We ate the very bread of heaven. We saw our enemies vanish like smoke upong entering the land of promise. And yet the desire of mankind would not yet be fully satisfied until we experienced Him as our own. For the most glorious expression of God to man would have to come to us in a more familiar way, in the form of a little child. “For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us…And his name shall be called Immanuel.”
