Quotes About Moses

Christ is no Moses, no law-giver, no tyrant, but the Mediator for sins, the Giver of grace and life.

If then, Moses so distinctly announces that there is in us not only a faculty, but also a facility for keeping all commandments, why are we sweating so much? ... What need is there now of Christ or of Spirit? We have found a passage that asserts freedom of choice, but also distinctly teaches that the keeping of the commandments is easy.

Therefore Jerome — whether it is his own judgment or the opinion of others — says that Moses did not want to make mention of Simeon because the traitor Judas was to be born from him;28 and even up to this time the tribe of Simeon is the most contemptible among these dregs of the Jews.

But Simeon is the most abject tribe of all, for he is cursed by his father Jacob and is passed over in silence by Moses. Jerome, as I have stated, is of the opinion that no mention is made of Simeon because Judas Iscariot was to be born from that tribe.

Moses could not sing this way. He is a minister of prison, a teacher of drudgery, an originator of servitude, or, as Paul usually calls him, "A minister of death, sin, and sadness" (2 Cor. 3:9). In antithesis to him we wish to sing of a kingdom that is delightful, free, and full of joy.

Thus mankind cannot approach the waters of salvation but can only be prepared for them. For Prov. 16:1 says: "It is the part of man to prepare the soul." But human nature was prepared in this way by the law of Moses, because the Law prepared but did not give, just as a boy is prepared by the tutor to be fit for his inheritance, but it is the father who gives it. Therefore Christ or the faithful people in the Law already seeks to enter into grace and the church of Christ.

In the law of Moses, God forbade the judges to take a gift: "Thou shalt not accept person nor gifts: for gifts blind the eyes of the wise and change the words of the just." (Deut. 16:19).

God appeared mysterious to Moses as Moses appeared to his people. This is the whole formula of prophecy, some are called gods and some are called geniuses.

Moses was such a great prophet and philosopher at the same time. He even dared to question and ask for God's real name.

To enjoy worship for its own sake, or simply out of a cultural appreciation of the 'performance' (whether of Byrd or heavy rock), would be like Moses coming upon the burning bush and deciding to cook his lunch on it.

Each time a group of believers in Christ celebrate the Lord's Supper, they rejoice in their current experience of the blessings of the new covenant because of their fellowship with God achieved by the "blood of the new covenant" (Luke 22:20; I Cor. 11:25). These current covenant participants are in a more exalted position than Moses, because with unveiled face they always behold the glory of God, and so pass from glory to glory (II Cor. 3:18).
