Stone and Flesh
Deuteronomy 10:3-11
Synopsis Deuteronomy 10:3-11 2/8/2018
The Lord wrote for a second time on stone tablets. Moses remembered how he had put these in the ark. He mentioned also, how the Levites had been separated to serve in the tabernacle ministry before the Lord.
God Wrote
“God wrote” – not “Moses wrote what God told him”.
God uses the written word.
Of course, He does. The scripture is the inerrant word of God. But this is the only time that God wrote words on tablets of stone.
The Paradox of Living Word in Stone
God is immutable and yet He is utter dynamism. Never changing and yet He is the source of an ever-changing world. Essence and form and birth and death.
It’s a little odd: This mysterious God.
The immovable and never changing word. The Word made flesh. The Word that challenges everything we thought we knew and yet doesn’t change. It challenges my heart to enter into the possibility of my life while sitting silently, somewhere, in an ark of acacia.
“Indeed, the word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart” Heb 4:12
