Lesson Overview

The story of Moses and the Burning Bush (Exodus 3:1-4:17) presents a sophisticated theological portrait of God’s dealings with humanity. The central theme — god calls ordinary people for extraordinary purposes — has implications for understanding God’s sovereignty, human responsibility, and the unfolding plan of redemption. When understood in its canonical context, this passage points forward to Christ and has direct implications for how we live as disciples in a fallen world.

Connection to the Gospel

Moses felt inadequate. So did we all. God’s power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
