- God’s Peace Treaty
“The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness… – Exodus 34:6
Peace treaties are frequently discarded on the ash heap of history. Even in your lifetime, whether long or short, treaties have been made and broken. In the world of today, the people of both Ukraine and Russia long for a peace deal. Negotiators from the United States and several Arab nations worked tenaciously to establish the current peace agreement between Israel and Hamas. An article last summer in the East Asia Forum said, “Taiwan and China must negotiate a new political agreement to avoid war.” The 18th–century poet and historian, Jonathan Swift, said, “Promises are like pie crusts—made to be broken.” Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev is purported to have said the same thing to President Ronald Reagan during negotiations over NATO in October 1986.
In his commentary on Exodus 34, theologian Matthew Henry says that the covenant God made with Israel in the wilderness amounted to a peace treaty. But, Henry declares, “The treaty… between God and Israel [was] broken off abruptly, by their worshipping the golden calf, requiring a new treaty… new tablets of stone that Moses, the mediator between God and the Israelites was to again receive.“
So Moses had to ascend to the mountaintop again. No sooner had he arrived, than the Lord descended in a cloud, proclaiming Himself to be a God of grace, goodness, and glory. Victor Hamilton, author and professor of Old Testament history, writes, “Nowhere in this litany does the Lord draw attention to his attributes of power, perfection, or holiness. Everything the Lord says autobiographically is something that God is or does for the benefit of others, especially his chosen people.”
While God could certainly have shown anger both to Moses for breaking the stone tablets and to the people for their idolatry, in declaring who He is, He said He is “slow to anger.” Instead of imposing dire consequences, God wanted Moses and the people to know that He is compassionate, loving, faithful, gracious, merciful, forgiving, and filled with truth. Moses responded by bowing to the earth and worshiping.
God has declared His attributes to you. These were displayed in the person, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. The new covenant in Jesus’ blood is God’s peace treaty with you. You get to choose your response: you can bow down and worship, or you can go about your life as if God does not exist, worshiping yourself. Place your life in the hands of so merciful a Savior today.

34 The Lord said to Moses, “Cut for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. 2 Be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain. 3 No one shall come up with you, and let no one be seen throughout all the mountain. Let no flocks or herds graze opposite that mountain.” 4 So Moses cut two tablets of stone like the first. And he rose early in the morning and went up on Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand two tablets of stone. 5 The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. 6 The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, 7 keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.” 8 And Moses quickly bowed his head toward the earth and worshiped. 9 And he said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, please let the Lord go in the midst of us, for it is a stiff-necked people, and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.”
10 And he said, “Behold, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been created in all the earth or in any nation. And all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord, for it is an awesome thing that I will do with you.
