The Golden Calf - Toby Knight - 31/11/14

The story of Israel and the Golden Calf is one of the most absurd events in the nation’s history. Why would a people who were powerfully loved, rescued and provided for by the Living God stop short of following him into all the blessings he had for them, and choose to bow down to a cow-statue instead? Jesus Christ is our all-sufficient saviour and his promises for us are beyond compare. Let’s not stop short of moving in to all that he has and allow ourselves to be distracted by the things that compete with him for 1st place in our heart.
