The Face Moses Never Saw

Moses asked to see God’s glory. God told him, “You cannot see my face.”

Centuries later, Moses stood on another mountain beside Jesus. This time, the face before him shone like the sun. That moment opens a question that runs through the four Gospels: What do we see when we truly look at Jesus?

In The Face Moses Never Saw, Glenn Bleakney invites you to meet the Jesus revealed in Scripture. Across sixteen chapters, you will see Him make the Father known, announce the kingdom of God, turn water into wine, quiet a storm, call Lazarus from the tomb, confront religious hypocrisy, and draw ordinary people into His life and mission.

These encounters reveal more than what Jesus did. They show us who He is, what matters to Him, and what it means to follow Him today. The Gospels call us to look again, to let our familiar picture of Jesus be challenged and enlarged, and to become more like the One we behold.

Grounded in Scripture and written for readers who want to go deeper, The Face Moses Never Saw is also the companion book to Sent College’s course Encountering Jesus: In the Gospels.
