The Old Testament readings in church this week and next are all about the story of Moses. It is a tremendously significant story for the Jewish People ; and therefore it is tremendously significant for us, because it is part of our ‘Salvation History’. The history of the Jewish People is our salvation history – the way in which G-d has gradually been revealed to different generations of the Jewish People, culminating in the Incarnation, the birth of our Lord Jesus. And then it spreads out to us, the Gentile people, the people who are not Jews.
