(May 20, 2014)
A few words seem in order for Moses, as we reach the conclusion of his story in the Old Testament. I don’t think that we properly appreciate the burden that he was under, or the things which he did on behalf of his people. We sometimes joke that the hardest job in the Church is organizing Girl’s Camp – between the food, the religious instruction, the entertainment, the chaperoning, and so forth it is a massive undertaking. And yet, it is something done for a week for a dozen people. Moses led a group of Israelites with a slave-mentality for 40 years in the desert, and handed off to Joshua a people with the beginning of an understanding of the Lord’s Law. What he did cannot be overstated – Moses ushered in monotheism to humanity (at least, restored it as part of his dispensation).
