Bible Reference & Cartoon Description

Exodus 3:1-3 (ANIV)
1 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”

Bible Doctrine Notes
3:1-4:31 EVANGELISM, Involves (6.13D)

The first thing God does when He is about to redeem people is call someone to deliver His word. In this case God called Moses to speak His word to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. After his burning bush experience, Moses completely involved himself in boldly declaring God’s word , so that Israel might be redeemed from their Egyptian slavery. God uses people who are willing to be involved in His plans to set people free. Involved people are God’s plan for evangelism.

3:2 MIRACLE, Nature (2.23A)
God continues to manifest Himself in His creation. He is able to use nature to reveal His presence. God may have set the bush on fire without it being burned up. That fire would communicate God’s holiness and purity to Moses. Alternatively, God may have used the berries or reflective leaves to give the appearance of fire, to catch Moses’ attention. Working in this way the miracle would be in God’s timing and in inspiring Moses to recognise His presence. In either case, God used the burning bush to gain Moses’ attention and to lead him to lead his people out of slavery. The miracle at the bush began the miracle of the Exodus.

3:2-6 REVELATION, Events (3.21A)
The messenger from God appeared in the flames of the burning bush. The messenger appeared, but God spoke. In hot deserts it is not unusual to see burning bushes, what is unusual is to see a burning bush that is not consumed. God revealed, through his conversation with Moses, both His own nature and Moses special mission to deliver his people from slavery. God reveals Himself to people who are alert to slight changes in their daily routines. God turns the ordinary into the miraculous in order to reveal Himself and His will. God is able to redirect our lives (even in the wilderness) if, and when, we are willing to respond, and offer our gifts to His service.
