TechnoratiIn the book of Deuteronomy, we meet the speaking God. "Has any people heard the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, and survived?" Mercy and grace meet here. This is, in its own way, a proto-gospel. Christopher Wright makes this comment concerning what happened at Sinai, saying what really mattered there was not that there had been a theophonic manifestation of God, but that there had been a verbal revelation of God's mind and will. Sinai was a cosmic audiovisual experience, but it was the audio that mattered. It is the audio that matters, for God has spoken.
This is the first of a three-part edited transcript of the Convocation message given at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary on August 24, 2006. It is also the beginning of a series of messages on the Ten Commandments that Dr. Mohler will preach throughout the academic year.
