Exodus 3

Commentary

Exodus chapter 3 is a pivotal moment in the Bible, as it marks the beginning of Moses' mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. In this chapter, God appears to Moses in the form of a burning bush and speaks to him, revealing his divine plan. God tells Moses that he has heard the cries of the Israelites and has come to deliver them from their bondage in Egypt. He instructs Moses to go to Pharaoh and demand that he let the Israelites go. God promises to be with Moses and to give him the strength and courage he needs to carry out his mission. The chapter also contains a powerful reminder of God's presence and power. God reveals his name to Moses, telling him that he is the "I AM" - a name that speaks of his eternal nature and his ability to be present in all times and places. Exodus chapter 3 is a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness and his willingness to intervene on behalf of his people. It is a reminder that God is always with us, even in the darkest of times, and that he will never abandon us. It is a reminder that God is always ready to answer our prayers and to provide us with the strength and courage we need to face our challenges.
