Reading through the narrative of Scripture, it is easy to see that God progressively reveals himself to his people through the ages. Noah knows more of God than did Adam. Abraham knows more than did Noah. Moses knows more of God than did Abraham, Isaac or Jacob. God explicitly tells Moses this is the case in Exodus 6:2-3, ” God also said to Moses, “I am the LORD [Yhwh]. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, l but by my name the LORD [Yhwh] I did not make myself fully known to them.” This progressive revealing did not end with Moses either…it continues to us. We know more about God than Moses or David or any saint living before God’s ultimate revelation of himself in Jesus (Heb 1:1-3). In addition, we have the indwelling Holy Spirit who illuminates previous revelations and guides us into all truth (John 14:24-26). What an amazing privilege! May God find us to be good and faithful stewards of what he has revealed to us. DW
