41. ๏“the wilderness is about learning to handle
pain, suffering and grief”
๏a desert wilderness
๏devastating heat during the day, with no
shade,
๏devastating cold at night, with no shelter
๏Nothing to eat—thorns and thirst

42. ๏wilderness is an uninhabitable
place—it will kill you unless you
get help
๏Water is insufficient - wells not
deep, ground water dries up very
quickly

43. ๏The wilderness can happen to
you, today, in a City - see Heb.
3:7ff—life can be a spiritual
wilderness, you will die spiritually
unless you get help.

44. ๏We can’t survive without a wilderness - God
leads us into it, takes us in to humble, check,
test our heart
๏Jacob—Bethel and wrestling in the desert
๏Moses—burning bush and Mt Sinai
๏Hagar, Elijah, JTB starts in the wilderness
๏Throughout the history of the people of God
the wilderness is where encounter starts

45. ๏The people of God had been delivered
from slavery, legally free
๏When they arrived at PL they couldn’t
face it—God took them out of slavery, but
the slavery hadn’t been taken out of them
๏It took 40 years in the wilderness to
remove slavery from them

46. GODISAJEALOUSGOD
Exodus 20:5, 34:14

47. ๏Jealous or envy?
๏Envy is wanting what they have
๏Jealousy is being passionate /
committed to someone /
something

48. ๏God’s jealousy comes out of
selfless sacrificial love for his
people.

49. ๏God is jealous for our love
๏Because he knows that the most
powerful thing for us to be happy is to
love him—he is committed to our
good.
๏God’s anger comes out of his great
love for us.

50. ๏So the OT tells the story of God
being jealous of idols that the
Israelites set up—that they bow
down to and worship
