S6 E4: Exodus 19-20

Welcome to Season 6 of Down Under Theology, a podcast equipping and encouraging Australian Christians to get down and under the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.

In Season 6 of the show, we're working our way through the story of the Bible in 12 key passages. Together, these passages will take us from creation to new creation, across the different sections and genres of Scripture, with Christ at the centre.

In this episode, Allister, Cam and Murray discuss Exodus 19:1–6 and 20:1–21, God's covenant with Israel at Sinai. They trace how the giving of the law follows God's gracious redemption of his people from Egypt, explore the theophany of God coming down the mountain to dwell with his people, and unpack why the Ten Commandments stand at the heart of the law.

They also trace these themes through Scripture to Jesus—the true and better Moses who fulfils the law both actively and passively—and consider what Sinai means for the church's identity as a holy nation and kingdom of priests, and for our hope of the day when God dwells with his people face to face.
