Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery.
“But what if they don’t believe me?” They probably won’t, but even if they don’t, that doesn’t mean we don’t speak the truth. The people of Israel were not able to receive the words of Moses because they were caught-up in their own struggles. It’s the same today. People have a tough time with life. They are not always, perhaps not usually, ready to accept the gospel the first time they come in contact with him. Keep telling the story. It will get through, besides, we don’t proclaim the gospel just to those who will receive it, we tell it to everyone… that’s what the Great Commission tells us to do… right? Let’s do it!
