I forgot to mention something in the last post. When Moses was hiding in the cleft of the rock while God passed by him, God gave a description of His character. "The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate, gracious..." I told the kids that even though Moses couldn't look directly at God, He was describing Himself. John was having trouble with this, because the attributes given were abstract things, not physical characteristics. The way he put it was, "It's not like compassion is a pink ball."
