In Exodus 32:30–35, Moses intercedes for a people under judgment, offering himself as atonement but finding that he cannot bear their guilt. Only Christ, the true Mediator, could be made sin for us and satisfy the justice of God. Though Israel was spared from destruction, their sin still brought temporal consequence, reminding us that forgiveness does not erase accountability. Yet in God’s mercy, His Angel—the foreshadowing of Christ—goes before His people. The gospel call is clear: turn from sin and trust in the One who bore your curse, that His righteousness may be yours.
