The God Who Is Holy – Exodus chapters 19 and 20
Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise on YouTube
There Israel encamped before the mountain, 3 while Moses went up to God. The Lord called to him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel: 4 You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. 5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; 6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.

The God Who Is Holy
Here Israel at last encounters God.
- A Rescuing God, rescue FIRST, but rescue was not the end-point.
- A Holy God. THEN He shows them how to live as His special and treasured people.
- “Is he safe?” said Lucy. “Who said anything about safe? Of course he’s not safe! But he’s good, he’s the King!” said Mr Beaver (“The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”, by C.S.Lewis)
