Through the lens of Man
The covenant ceremony — blood and vision
Moses did not climb Sinai alone for the meal. He took Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel’s elders (Ex 24:9). Seventy-three men. Eating with God on a mountain.
That is a vision worth carrying around. Men were made to eat with God in groups. Not alone in your truck. Not in a frantic Sunday service. In the company of other men, before God’s presence.
Most men I know are spiritually isolated. They have buddies. They might have a small group. They rarely have seventy elders — actual peers in the faith who are climbing the same mountain alongside them. The result is a thousand men trying to follow Jesus alone in their own private dinner.
Sinai says no. Climb together. Eat together. See God together.
One small thing today: name three men who could be elders on a mountain with you. Reach out to one of them this week. Ask if they’d eat with you and pray with you and climb with you. The Father did not design men to do this alone.
