The fear of Gideon, on the discovery, was very natural, and corresponded to what the Lord had himself long before told Moses concerning the sight of God. See Exodus 33:20. Reader! what a delightful view doth this give us of the person and offices of our adorable Redeemer. Jesus, by tabernacling in substance of our flesh, hath softened the awful majesty of God. In seeing Jesus, we behold the brightness of the Father's glory, and the express image of his person. And seeing him, we see in him the Father also without danger. John 14:9; John 14:9; Hebrews 1:3.
