Having fled from Egypt, Moses lived on tending the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, for about 40 years.
One day, he went far into the wilderness and came to Sinai, the mountain of God.
There, he observed a burning bush but unconsumed, and he approached for a better look, and God called out to him by name from the fire
First, God warned that he would take off his sandal, for he now stands on the ground.
God revealed himself as the God of his father, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and Moses was afraid
God proceeded to reveal to him the plan of rescuing the distressed and oppressed children of Israel from Egypt through Moses.
Moses would go to Pharaoh and lead God’s people out of Egypt to a land flowing with milk and honey.
In the second lesson, Jesus educated his disciples because they were filled with grief when he told them he was leaving
Jesus affirmed that leaving is in the best interest of the disciples, for if he doesn’t leave, the Advocate won’t come
And when he comes, he will expose the error of the godless world’s view of sin, righteousness, and judgment.
The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in Jesus
Righteousness will be available as Jesus goes to the Father
Judgment will come because the ruler of this world has already been judged
He added that He (Jesus) has much to tell his disciples, but they could not bear it
But when the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide them into all truth, telling them what he hears from the Father, even about future events
In a little while, they will not see the physical Jesus again because he will die, but he will rise from the dead and abide as the Holy Spirit.
