(Theta) Desires (Deut 3:24; John 17:24) (Sanctification)

Moses at the end of his life having seen God’s miraculous hand over and over still says these words with all humility. I heard one of the most memorable sermons my first year at seminary preached on this text(1969). The preacher was a Norwegian named Per. I ended up buying his cross country skis which I gave to a relative. Then years later I discovered this man was a ministry colleague of my good friend Berger who lives in Norway. And then our Theta friends knew this man’s daughter who was married to the pastor at the Norwegian Seaman’s Mission in San Pedro. So at the end of my life I can say with Moses how wonderful it is to be just beginning to see the new things our God does.
