September 11 Fire in the Desert－Exodus 3：1-10

Not many have been in the desert, if one has and sees fire in the desert, he thinks it could be a mirage.

When Moses was tending sheep in a Middle Eastern desert, he too saw an odd sight of  a flaming bush that didn’t burn up. As God Himself spoke from the bush, Moses realized he had come to something far greater than it had first appeared. He told Moses, (Exodus 3:6) “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.”  God was about to lead an enslaved people to freedom and show them their true identity as His children.

God had made this promise to Abraham more than six hundred years ago: (Genesis 12:3) “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”. The flight of the Israelites from Egypt was in that blessing – God’s plan to rescue His creation through the Messiah, Abraham’s descendant.

Today we can enjoy the benefits of that blessing, for God offers this rescue to everyone. Christ came to die for the sins of the whole world. By faith in Him, we too become children of the living God.
