Exodus 2:15 to Exodus 3:6

Moses has renounced his position and his wealth in order to visit his oppressed brethren. Unknown to them, and rejected, he flees into a foreign land. There, after having shown himself as one who delivers and quenches thirst (v. 17), he acquires a wife and becomes a shepherd. All these features make us think of Jesus, the Son of God, who laid aside His glory to come down to visit and save His people Israel. His own did not receive Him (John 1:11). He is now far away from the world, as the Great Shepherd of the sheep, and the Bridegroom of the Church which has been purchased through His grace and which now shares in His rejection.

Forty years have now passed in Moses’ life. God is about to reveal Himself to him in a "great sight". For Hagar He chose a well, for Jacob a ladder, and for Moses the mysterious, burning bush. Can you say how and where you have met Him?

God wishes to show Moses His mercy towards His dear people. In the midst of the furnace of Egypt, Israel was like this bush, tested but not destroyed by the fire. It is the same now for the Lord’s redeemed ones. The purpose of the fiery trial is only to destroy the unjudged evil which exists among them.

In Christ alone the divine fire which came upon Him in full measure found nothing to consume (Psalms 17:3).
