Finding Jesus in the Covenant at Sinai explores how the golden calf incident reveals our desperate need for a mediator between us and God. Moses interceded for the rebellious Israelites, standing between them and God's righteous anger. This pattern of intercession followed by discipline foreshadows Jesus, our perfect mediator who retrains our spiritual instincts, deals with our rebellion, reveals God fully, makes complete atonement, and brings us near to God. We are inherently worshipers, and our spiritual well-being depends on worshiping God through Jesus rather than creating our own paths to God.
