Why would you want Jesus to turn his back on you

We recently had the pleasure of hearing Roy Ralph and His wife speak on thursday. Roy spoke about having a stronger vision of what Jesus has done for everyone. He was describing when Moses asked to see God's glory, God showed him His back. In this day and age many people are crying out for God to show us His glory then we're wondering why he turns His back to us. What it means to me is that we are reaching out for a really delightful experience of God, but he is doing so much more. He wants to change us by showing us the stripes on his back. He wants us to know that it is for His glory that he paid for our sins. It was the darkest times for our saviour but it was His most glorious moments on this planet. God will never turn His back on us in the negative way we use that saying, but He is showing us His back as we are asking to see His glory.
