Exo 20:19 | MHM | STEP | v. 19 : The people begged Moses, You speak to us, and we will listen. But do not let God speak to us, or we will die (Exodus 20:19; Hebrews 12:19 ). They chose Moses as their mediator, agreeing to listen to God’s message through him. This shows us it is sometimes better for God to speak to us through his chosen messengers, like the Scriptures and teachers, rather than by frightening signs.
