Knowing God
Exodus 3:1-15
- Read the text. Moses had probably known about Jehovah God his whole life. See especially vv. 13–14. What is the difference between knowing about God and knowing him personally (i.e., knowing God's name)?
- What do we learn about God from the encounter described in the passage• From God's appearance as fire...
• From the fact that the fire needed no fuel (it was self-existent and self-perpetuating)...
• From the fact that the voice is called "the Angel of the Lord" (v. 2) and also claims to be God (v. 5)...
• From what God says to Moses throughout the meeting...
• From God's self-description in v. 14...
- What do we learn about meeting God personally from Moses' actions and words throughout the passage?
- Discuss you own personal relationship with God. How did you meet him? How is the relationship sustained and deepened?
