It's Pentecost on Sunday, when we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit - the way in which we know God's presence, His glory, with us. Before the Holy Spirit was poured out on all people, as we read in Acts 2, Moses asked for God to be present with his people Israel on the Exodus journey. 'Show me your glory!' he said. God's response was to pass by Moses and describe His character. God said He is: 'compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for the thousandth generation, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, yet He does not leave the guilty unpunished… (Exodus 34:6,7)’
