There Is No Other
There is a privilege and a responsibility to fire, which can be simply summarised by: “enjoy the warmth, but don’t burn yourself!” Last week, we considered a number of privileges to being God’s people: the blessings of his presence, law and land (to name a few). But we also glimpsed some dangers and warnings. In this week’s passage, Moses expands on those dangers, which are summarised by the sin of idolatry – the worship of other gods, things or people, instead of the one and only God. But he is the only God – there is no other – and worship of anything else gets us burnt. Thank God for Jesus, who protects us from the fire!
