Scripture to Read: Exodus 3:2
Moses saw this bush in a blazing fire, which would not have been uncommon in this desert land but what was unusual was that “the bush was not consumed” (Exodus 3:2). We know it was the Lord appearing to Moses because God’s Word tells us this; still, Moses did not know it at first. Moses was drawn to look more closely at the bush because the fire was not consuming the bush. God chooses to use anything He desires to get our attention. We have complete access to God’s Word in the United States, so God uses preachers, teachers, and every born-again Christian to speak to men and women across this country. Since God, in Christ, through His Holy Spirit, lives in every Christian, we are His “burning bush,” and He desires to use us to share His Word across this country. We know Christ appeared to Moses because Christ also appeared as the “Angel of the LORD” in Genesis 16:7–13, Judges 2:1–5, Judges 6:11–24, and Judges 13:3–22. God had John confirm that He as the Father has never been seen as John wrote in John 1:18, “No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.” God had Paul write about it in 1 Timothy 6:16, saying that God “dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see.” Christ has always been the One to reveal the incredible wonder of God the Father.
