“I am” - Forged & Sent
Exodus 3:1
1 Now Moses was tending the flock
of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest
of Midian,
and he led the flock to the far side of
the wilderness and came to Horeb,
the mountain of God.
Exodus 3:2-6
2 There the angel of the LORD
appeared to him in flames of fire
from within a bush.
Moses saw that though the bush was
on fire it did not burn up. 3 So Moses
thought, “I will go over and see this
strange sight—why the bush does
not burn up.”
4 When the LORD saw that he had
gone over to look, God called to him
from within the bush, “Moses!
Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.”
5 “Do not come any closer,” God
said. “Take off your sandals, for the
place where you are standing is holy
ground.”
6 Then he said, “I am the God of your
father, the God of Abraham, the God
of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At
this, Moses hid his face, because he
was afraid to look at God.
2. He has shown up and
called you onto holy ground.
Exodus 3:7-9
7 The LORD said, “I have indeed seen
the misery of my people in Egypt. I
have heard them crying out because
of their slave drivers,
and I am concerned about their
suffering. 8 So I have come down to
rescue them from the hand of the
Egyptians and to bring them up
out of that land into a good and
spacious land, a land flowing with
milk and honey -
the home of the Canaanites, Hittites,
Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and
Jebusites.
9 And now the cry of the Israelites
has reached me, and I have seen the
way the Egyptians are oppressing
them.
3. He wants us to not only know
who He is, He wants us to know
His heart.
Exodus 3:10-15
10 So now, go. I am sending you to
Pharaoh to bring my people the
Israelites out of Egypt.”
11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I
that I should go to Pharaoh and bring
the Israelites out of Egypt?”
12 And God said, “I will be with you.
And this will be the sign to you that
It is I who have sent you:
When you have brought the people
out of Egypt, you will worship God
on this mountain.”
13 Moses said to God, “Suppose I go
to the Israelites and say to them,
‘The God of your fathers has sent me
to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his
name?’ Then what shall I tell them?”
14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I
AM. This is what you are to say to
the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to
you.’”
15 God also said to Moses, “Say to
the Israelites, ‘The LORD, the God
of your fathers—
the God of Abraham, the God of
Isaac and the God of Jacob—has
sent me to you.’
“This is my name forever, the name
you shall call me from generation to
generation.
I am
Yahweh
Adonay
Jehovah
THE LORD
4. I am sending you and
I am with you.
