Parashat Ki Tisa
The story of the golden calf reveals profound truths about God’s character and grace. When the Israelites turned to idolatry during Moses’ absence on Mount Sinai, God’s righteous anger was met with Moses’ powerful intercession. Through Moses’ pleading, God demonstrated both His justice and mercy, showing how grace operates through mediation. This narrative foreshadows Yeshua’s role as humanity’s perfect mediator and teaches us about faithful intercession, genuine repentance, and God’s unwavering commitment to His covenant promises.
