We experience the glory of God by seeing it revealed in Jesus Christ, who is the cleft of the rock for our salvation.
The sermon illustrates that to experience the glory of God, one must look to Jesus Christ. Just as Moses longed to see God's glory, we are invited to find our place in Christ, who is the manifestation of God's goodness and grace. In Exodus 33:18-23, the Lord reveals His glory to Moses as He passes by, signifying that we, too, have access to God's glory through faith in Christ. This experience transcends mere intellectual knowledge; it leads to authentic worship and humility before God, as we recognize His sovereign will and merciful nature.
