Exodus 34:29-35 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand… I. THE SHINING FACE THE RESULT OF HIS LONG AND CLOSE COMMUNION WITH GOD. The heavenly light within will shine out. II. THE SHINING FACE WAS BEHELD BY THE PEOPLE, The good man's walk and conversation are known of all. III. THE SHINING FACE AWED ALL WHO BEHELD IT. The consciousness of sin makes the wicked fear pious friends, whose presence rebukes them. IV. MOSES KNEW NOT THAT HIS FACE SHONE. The more grace we have the less self-consciousness. The more good others see in us, the less do we see ourselves. Application: 1. If you cannot do anything else for God, you can exhibit a shining face. 2. Do not be discouraged because you are not conscious of any good influence you exert. (J. L. Elderdice.) Parallel Verses KJV: And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. |
