Exodus 3:1-8
1 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. 3 Then Moses said, "I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn." 4 So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am." 5 Then He said, "Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground." 6 Moreover He said, "I am the God of your father--the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God. 7 And the Lord said: "I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. 8 So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey “I AM Aware”… In Exodus 3:7 the Lord said: "I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. “I AM Coming”… In Exodus 3:7 & 8 God goes on to say… I know their sorrows. 8 So I have come down to deliver them Jesus is AWARE of what you are going through and He is COMING to deliver you... To our question "can you deliver me" Jesus answers "I AM Able"... In the manger Jesus says I AM AWARE and I AM COMING… On the cross and by the empty tomb Jesus says I AM ABLE… Christmas is Easter and Easter is Christmas… The two cannot be separated… What good is a God who KNOWS what we are going through, COMES to help us, but is UNABLE to do anything when He arrives?… And likewise what good is a God that is all powerful and ABLE to transform our lives but UNAWARE of what we are going through and unwilling to COME down from His throne in heaven to deliver us?… In John 8:52-58 they say to Him… You say, 'If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.' 53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Whom do You make Yourself out to be?" 54 Jesus answered, "If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God. 55 Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, 'I do not know Him,' I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." 57 Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" 58 Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." Jesus says I AM Able… I AM past, present, and future… Isaiah 46:9-10 I AM God, and there is no other; I AM God, and there is none like Me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done I AM able to enter into your world and intervene in the affairs of men and women who call upon Me and draw near to me...
