This devotional explores the significance of Moses' voice in his role as a leader, spokesperson, and mediator for the Israelites. Moses' voice carried the authority and power of God, as he delivered God's messages and laws to the people. It was accompanied by miraculous signs and wonders that demonstrated God's presence and confirmed Moses' authenticity as a representative of God.
Moses foreshadowed Jesus, the ultimate prophet and mediator. Moses highlighted the significance of the law and obedience, which Jesus fulfilled perfectly while also offering grace and salvation through faith. Moses' emphasis on God's covenant and faithfulness finds its fulfillment in Jesus, who brings forgiveness, eternal life, and establishes the Kingdom of God. Moses' voice and Jesus' voice both carried divine authority, but Jesus' voice brought the fulfillment and completion of God's plan of salvation, revealing God's nature and offering a personal relationship with Him.
