Exodus  
Living in the Glory of God

Exodus 40: 34-38

The presence of God in the cloud stayed with the Hebrew people at every stage of their journey. For forty years they were to wander - but always in the knowledge that their God travelled with them. God revealed himself as a pilgrim God - not a static god, confined to places or buildings. This was the God who had revealed himself to Abraham - leading him on his own journey.

This is the God who reveals himself to us on our journey - a God who accompanies us - yet remains completely other. A God who loves and guides - challenges and surprises us. This is the God who came from glory to walk with his people - to show them in his own life, death and resurrection the glory that is a human being fully alive. This is our destiny - to become fully alive and to give glory to God and, in the fullness of time, to live in that glory for ever.
