TRANSCRIPT

Our text for tonight's message is taken from Exodus 32:7–14.

In this world, anyone who is charged with a criminal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until he or she is proven guilty according to the law. Sometimes, through some clever manoeuvring or manipulation of the law, a guilty person can be declared as innocent. And the opposite is also true—an innocent person can be declared as guilty.

But as far as God is concerned, who knoweth all things, the moment a person breaks His law, he or she is guilty. Period. In a general sense, all of us are guilty, because we are sinners and we have broken the law of God. In a specific sense, we are guilty whenever we break the laws of God.

Moses was up on Mount Sinai for 40 days and 40 nights, communing with God and receiving instructions from Him—especially the Ten Commandments, which were written on tablets of stone. When it was time for him to go down the mountain and meet the children of Israel and reveal to them what God had revealed to him, you can imagine the unspeakable joy that was in his heart.

But all of a sudden, he received this devastating news: that the children of Israel had sinned against God by building the golden calf. And who was the one who told him about it? It was God.

The title of our message is "Guilty As Charged."

I. Proven To Be Guilty

Our first point is: "Proven to Be Guilty."

Let us begin with verse 7 of Exodus chapter 32: "And the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves." Verse 8: "They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt."

They were 100% guilty because God was the one who pronounced this charge. God had brought the Israelites out of Egypt to worship Him, but they had decided to go back to Egypt—not physically, but spiritually—by adopting the Egyptians' way of worshipping idols. As we have learned in our previous message, the Egyptians had several gods or idols represented by the calf, and using what they had learned in Egypt, they built the golden calf. Remember, God was up on Mount Sinai instructing Moses what to do, and yet He knew what was happening down there at the foot of the mountain.

What does that teach us? The omniscience and omnipresence of God. God is all-knowing, and nothing can escape His eyes. God is all-present, as in we are always in His presence at all times. Take a moment and consider those sins we do in the dark. We think no one knows—but God knows. Consider those sins we harbour in the deepest recesses of our hearts. We may put on a pleasant demeanour, but our hearts are burning with jealousy, envy, anger, pride, and bitterness.

We think no one knows—but God knows.

The word corrupted means to be ruined or wasted. They had ruined themselves by turning away from the laws of God. They had done what God told them not to do, and failed to do what God commanded them to do. They had broken the first two commandments by worshipping other gods and making graven images (Exodus 20:3-5). And they had also broken the third commandment, which was using God's name in vain (Exodus 20:7), when they declared a feast unto the Lord by sacrificing on the altar of the golden calf.

Actually, it was not surprising to anyone that the children of Israel would turn away from God and His laws, as they had always done so. What was surprising was how quickly they had fallen away. God said: "They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them." The idea was that only a moment ago, they had professed that everything God said they would obey, and the next moment, they had forgotten everything they had said and did the exact opposite.

Dear friend, oftentimes we are just like the children of Israel. We may not build a physical golden calf, but we are making God to be the kind of God we want Him to be. We are quick to say we believe the Bible is the Word of God, and we will obey everything He says. But we are just as quick to go back on our words. When God heals us from a particular illness, we say we are thankful. When He provides jobs and opportunities for us, we are happy.

We are quick to say that ‘I will follow You all the days of my life’, but we are just as quick to turn away from Him and unto the world.

We say we want God to teach our minds, but we are not willing for Him to transform our hearts.

We want Him to guide our paths and to lead us, but we only want to worship Him on Sundays—but not on the other days of the week.

We want Him to change others, but we are not willing for Him to change us.

We want His love and blessings, but not His godliness and righteousness and holiness.

And what kind of people would behave like that? Look at how God described this kind of people. Verse 9: "And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people." (Exodus 32:9) In those days, the master would put a yoke or burden on the animal's neck and then direct it to plough the land. Sometimes there will be certain animals that refuse to wear the yoke, refuse to bow his head, or refuse to move—that is the picture of a stiffnecked animal. Using this imagery to refer to the children of Israel, God was saying, ‘They are a group of stubborn people who refuse to bow their heads and wear the yoke of obedience to me.’

Can you imagine if God were to describe us as “a stiffnecked people”? That would be most tragic. Basically, people who are stiffnecked are stubborn. They always think they are right and never admit they are wrong. They refuse to listen to good spiritual counsel. They ask for advice but do not follow it, and just go ahead with their own plans anyway. Oftentimes, God would use the circumstances and situations of life—trials, sufferings, and afflictions—to teach His people spiritual lessons, like the way the yoke or burden was used to break the animal’s will.

But those people who are stiffnecked, when they go through the struggles, they will murmur and complain and even blame God. They never learn anything. They never grow. They never change. And the saddest thing of all is that they don't even know it. Again, dear friend, are we a stiffnecked people? If we ask for counsel from people who have spiritual authority and teaches us the Word of God, then we must follow it. If we are wrong and we are being corrected, instead of being angry we must repent and change. If we go through certain trials, instead of murmuring and complaining and even blame God, we need to first ask ourselves: What spiritual lessons can I learn from this situation? What is God teaching me in this particular trial?

We must never be a stiffnecked people.

Notice God said to Moses in Verse 7: "For thy people" instead of ‘my people’, which means they are not worthy to be called God's people. Once D. L. Moody preached to a group of people, and they professed to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. A few weeks later, he was walking down the street and he saw two of them drinking alcohol and making a fool out of themselves.

Someone turned to Moody and said, ‘Are they not Christians? Did they not profess to be followers of Christ?’

Moody replied, ‘No, they are just my followers, not the followers of Christ, because the followers of Christ would never behave like that.’

That is the picture we have here—"For thy people"—the people whom you, Moses, had brought out of the land of Egypt.

Essentially, sin is a transgression of God's law—either doing what God said not to do, or failing to do what God has commanded to do. And there is a price to pay for sin. The wages of sin is death—physical, spiritual, and eternal death. But thank God the Bible did not stop there, but went on to say: "But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23) Even for the believers who are saved, when they sin there are serious consequences—whether it be physical, spiritual, emotional, and so forth. When you commit the sin of adultery, the consequence may be a broken marriage and family. When you commit the sin of drunkenness, the consequence may be a heart attack, or some foolish things you have done while you are under the influence of alcohol. Spiritually, you will be vexed in your spirit, and you will drift further and further away from God. There are serious consequences, because ultimately all sins are against God, and He would deal with the violators.

So, God said in verse 10: "Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation." (Exodus 32:10) To consume is to destroy completely. Now, there are some people who use this passage to say that God changes His mind, He alters will, or He does not know the future—as if God is figuring out what would happen as He goes along. Because they will point to verse 14, where the Bible says: "And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people." (Exodus 32:14) The word repented means to be sorry, to have pity and compassion, or to turn around and change. They will say, ‘See, God changes His mind, He alters His will. He says He will destroy the children of Israel, and He did not.’ But nothing is further from the truth.

God never changes His mind. He is immutable. As 1 Samuel 15:29 says: "And also the Strength of Israel”—referring to God—”will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent." So how can we explain God declaring that He would destroy them, and He did not? The answer is, even His turning around from destroying them is part of His ordained will. Then the next question is: if it was never God's plan to destroy the Israelites, why did He say it in the first place? Do you realise that even when God declared that He would destroy them, He was hinting that He would show mercy? How do we know?

Firstly, God commanded Moses to go down, which means He was sending Moses to deal with the children of Israel. If God had decided to destroy them completely, it would be totally unnecessary to send Moses down. He could have done it in an instant. Secondly, when God said, "Let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them," it does not mean God could not control His temper, and He was like a child sulking in anger. No—actually, He was revealing to Moses the severity of the situation. He knew that when Moses understood how serious the situation was, he would intercede for them.

Remember, God is all-knowing. He knoweth all things. That was the reason why God said, "And I will make of thee a great nation" (Exodus 32:10), because He knew what Moses would do. So He made such a promise to him. So in reality, God was opening the door for Moses to intercede for them. God was opening the door for Moses to take up the responsibility to mediate on their behalf. God was inviting Moses to intercede and mediate. If I may put it this way, God was not only dealing with the children of Israel—He was also dealing with His servant Moses.

Sometimes as parents, when our children leave their toys all over the house, we are frustrated, right? When will they ever learn?

Then we say to them, ‘Well, go ahead and leave your toys all over the place, and I will throw everything into the dustbin.’

Immediately we catch the attention of our children, and knowing that we are serious, they would quickly take upon themselves the responsibility to place their toys in the respective place.

Knowing the severity of the situation, what did Moses do?

II. He Pleaded For Mercy

This brings us to our second point—”He Pleaded For Mercy”.

God had promised that He would make Moses to be a great nation. If Moses only cared for himself, he would have given up on the Israelites. After all, they were truly a stiffnecked people, and he had previously faced great difficulties with them. They had murmured and complained against him. Faced with a choice of serving himself or saving others, he put others first.

This shows us the true character of Moses—that he was a man of God. A man of God is someone who puts God first, others second, and then followed by himself. He will always esteem others better than himself. That was the man Moses.

And we can see how he articulated his prayers. Look at how he prayed, verse 11: "And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?" (Exodus 32:11) To besought is to beg or plead—like someone who is sick, begging to be healed.

In Genesis chapter 18, there was an incident whereby God wanted to destroy the city of Sodom, and Abraham interceded on behalf of the people. He pleaded for mercy based on the premise that some of the people were righteous. He first asked God to spare the city for the sake of 50 righteous people, and God said He would. But when there were no 50 righteous people, he began to negotiate and work his way downwards: ‘what about 45, 40, 30, 20, and 10?’

But the way Moses pleaded with God was different. He did not minimise the sin of the Israelites. He knew they were guilty as charged. So he first pleaded on their behalf for God's mercy based on His salvation. He acknowledged that God was the one who had delivered the Israelites out of Egypt. In other words, ‘God, You were the one who had saved the Israelites out of Egypt. Why would You want to destroy them? Why would You not continue to save them?’ So he was pleading with God not to destroy them, but to sanctify them, to discipline them, to correct them, to convict their hearts and cause them to repent.

This reminds us of what the Apostle Paul said to the Philippians: "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." (Philippians 1:6) As believers, we are saved—forever saved. We are not condemned. But we are not perfect. As long as we live in this mortal body, we need to be sanctified. And from time to time, when we sin, we need to plead for God's mercy to continue to save us—as in our sanctification—to convict our hearts so that we would repent. So that was the first thing: Moses pleaded for God's mercy based on His salvation.

Verse 12: ”Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people." (Exodus 32:12) The word evil means something bad, like a calamity or judgment. And the word mischief means with evil intent. Obviously, Moses knew that God had no evil intent. He was not the author of evil. "He cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man." (James 1:13)

He was referring to what the Egyptians would say. He remembered what God had said in Exodus 7:5, that He wanted all the Egyptians to know that He was the Lord who had plagued them and delivered the Israelites out of their land. So Moses did not want the Egyptians to misinterpret this whole situation, thinking that God had delivered the Israelites out of Egypt only to kill them in the wilderness. To put it plainly, Moses was pleading for mercy based on the glory of God. He was concerned for God's glory, God's reputation, God's good name. He did not want anything untoward to be said of his God.

Dear friend, some of us are praying for our unbelieving loved ones' salvation. Why do we pray for their salvation? Obviously, we are concerned about them being saved from eternal hell. But that should not be the only primary concern. You and I should also be concerned of God's glory, because we cannot stand the thought of our unbelieving loved ones rejecting and blaspheming our God. We cannot stand the thought of our unbelieving loved ones dishonouring our God. But rather, we want them to glorify Him. We want the message of His glorious salvation to be preached to the uttermost parts of the world.

We should apply this same principle into our prayers. Not just the salvation of our unbelieving loved ones—in all our prayers, when we pray for those believers who have fallen into sin, or for young people to rise up and serve God, or for the church to be united, or for good health and strength, or for jobs and opportunities—we must pray in view of God's glory.

How can we use God answering our prayers to glorify Him? If God raised us from the bed of affliction, we want to use the good health to serve His glory. When God bless us with resources, we want to use them for His glory. When God raised up a young man to serve Him full-time, we immediately give thanks to the Almighty God, because His name will be glorified. We always want to pray in view of His glory.

Finally, Moses pleaded for mercy based on God's covenant. Look at verse 13. Moses said: "Remember Abraham, Isaac, and [Jacob], thy servants" (Exodus 32:13). He was not referring to them as extraordinary, special individuals. They were ordinary people, sinners like everyone else. Notice, he quoted what God had promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, “to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.” (Exodus 32:13).

In other words, Moses was saying: God, remember what You said to Your servants. Remember Your covenant promise. When God has sworn a promise, He would surely keep it by His own self. It is impossible for Him to go back on His words. So Moses knew that God would save His people, not because of who they were or what they had done, or not done, but based on His covenant promise—as He had promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Likewise, God has promised to save everyone who comes to Him through faith in His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.If you and I truly believe in Jesus, we are saved. And how are we saved? By the blood of the everlasting covenant. As Hebrews 13:20 tells us, it is an unbreakable covenant. Jesus Himself said, ‘no man shall pluck you out of my hand’ (John 10:28). Once we are saved, we will not lose our salvation. What a wonderful encouragement to those people who are struggling with the assurance of their eternal security. Will I ever lose my salvation? No.

Our salvation is not secured by our own obedience, which tend to fail, bound to fail, but it is secured by the blood of Jesus Christ—His everlasting covenant. It is the promise of God. It is unbreakable. As 2 Timothy 2:13 says: "If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful”, why? Because, “he cannot deny himself." lAs theologians would often say, God cannot "un-God" Himself—He is God. It is impossible for Him to go back on His words. His covenant is unbreakable.

We must bear in mind that Moses was not persuading God or trying to twist His arm to do something He did not want to do. On the contrary, he was telling God exactly what He wanted to hear. Remember, God was opening the door for Moses to be the intercessor, to be the mediator, and Moses had passed the test—by pleading for mercy based on God's salvation, God's glory, and God's covenant. In the end, God did what He had intended to do from the beginning, verse 14, "And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people." (Exodus 32:14)

The Bible does not tell us how long Moses pleaded with God for mercy. But when you read the book of Deuteronomy 9:25, the Bible reveals to us that Moses fasted and prayed for 40 days and 40 nights. He knew how serious it was, so for 40 days and 40 nights, he fasted and prayed to the Almighty God, pleaded for His mercy, based on His salvation, His glory, and His covenant promise.

Dear friends, this portion of Scriptures is truly the story of our salvation too. God is up in His holy mountain in heaven, and like the Israelites, we are down here on Earth, and we have sinned against Him. We need a mediator like Moses—someone to come down and intercede for us, someone who can turn away God's wrath. Like the Israelites, when God saw our sins, He wants to save us, so He sent His only begotten Son: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

Jesus came into this world, He is the Saviour of the world. He died on the cross and shed His precious blood, without which you and I cannot be saved. Jesus is the greater Mediator, the only Mediator—the Mediator that even Moses himself would need. And He continues to intercede and mediate for us, even at this very moment.

Now, as believers, we are called to intercede for others. We intercede on behalf of the sinners, that God will convict their hearts to come and believe in Jesus Christ. We intercede for those believers who have fallen into sin, that God will cause them to be convicted and repent of their sins and live godly lives. We plead for mercy—not based on our own righteousness, for all our righteousness are but filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). Not based on who we are or what we have done or not done, but solely on God's salvation, God's glory, and God's covenant promise. We know that everyone is guilty as judged. Therefore the only way is to plead for mercy. And that is how you and I ought to pray. May the Lord continue to teach us.

Let us pray:

Father in heaven, we give Thee thanks for the opportunity to consider this portion of Scriptures. Help us, even as we seek to understand Thy Word. We know that we cannot understand spiritual things, but unless the Spirit of God will illuminate our minds and grant us spiritual understanding—and also empower us to live out the truth that we know. So as Thou hast taught us, even through the lives of the children of Israel, how Thou hast used Moses, Thy servant, to intercede and to mediate. Indeed, we know that everyone is guilty as judged the moment he or she commits the sin, he or she is guilty. Period.

We need Thy mercy. Thou who hast saved us as believers, Thou hast taught us how we ought to intercede for others—believers and unbelievers—and the way we ought to pray, as Moses prayed, pleading for Thy mercy—based on Thy salvation, based on Thy glory, and based on Thy covenant. Help us, even as we look today in prayers and supplications, that we will apply the same principles: pleading for mercy, based on these three important components. We pray all this in Jesus' name, Amen.
