Exodus 4:14-17

Exodus 4:14-17

  When we make obstacles, God makes a way.  
  Moses had countered every one of God's arguments as to why Moses should go, and God continued making a path forward.  When Moses said that he wasn't a good enough speaker, God then brings the community into it, utilizing Moses's brother to join with Moses.  Moses built a wall, and God created a path forward.
  It's the story of sin.  Humans put obstacles between us and God, and Jesus creates a path through them.  It was at tremendous cost, but cost was no object -- you are of such surpassing value to God that God would do anything to redeem you.  No matter how hard we make it, God's love is greater than our failures, greater than our stubbornness.  God wants to dwell with you, and God will not be denied.
