What Does Moses and The Burning Bush Have To Do With The Gospel?

Show notes

About This Episode In this devotional episode, Aaron and Jennifer Smith have a fun conversation about the experience Moses had with the Lord at the burning bush. Reading the Old Testament and the many miraculous things God has done over history is a powerful way to see who God is and His plan for redemption even from the beginning. Drawing from their family Bible study practice of looking for Christ in Old Testament stories, they show how God initiated with Moses while he was hiding, why the bush that was not consumed is a picture of God as a purifying fire, what it means to take off your sandals on holy ground, and why Moses saw himself as a question while God saw Himself as the answer.
