Ex. 32 [The Message]
Moses did much more than lead the Hebrews through the wilderness. He essentially became their advocate and intercessor before God’s throne. It’s amazing how he actually turned God’s wrath away from them after their heresy led to worshiping a golden calf.
In the same way the High Priest carried the breastplate with the 12 tribes represented by precious stones, Moses carried the well-being of the Hebrews on his heart.
For a spiritual leader, there is much more to healthy leadership than teaching or preaching etc. That leader carries the spiritual burden for the people. It’s ALWAYS with him.
