Exodus 33:18 And he said, I beseech you, show me your glory. I. THE REQUEST OF MAN. 1. That man, as man, naturally looks for some special display of the Divine presence and attributes. 2. That man, as a sinner, needs an expression of God's readiness to forgive. II. THE RESPONSE OF GOD. 1. That there are limitations to a full revelation of His glory. (1) Human capacity and preparation. (a) The bodily senses. (b) The mind. (2) The Divine pleasure. 2. That within these limitations there is given an abundant revelation. 3. That the brightest feature of the revelation is Divine love. 4. That from what we now behold, we are led to expect a still more glorious revelation hereafter. (B. Dale, M. A.)
