Lesson 213: MOSES, A MAN OF DESTINY PART 5

INTRODUCTION:

In the last part of this series, we saw the beginning of the great conversation between God and Moses as the Almighty was trying to convince the Shepherd to become a deliverer. Today, we shall continue to look at the conversation as we study two vital verses in Exodus 3. May the Lord bless us tremendously as we study at His feet in Jesus Name. Amen.

1. THE I AM THAT I AM

Moses asked God to introduce Himself. The Almighty told Moses that His name is I AM. In response to an unvoiced query from Moses as to which I AM, God made it clear that He is THAT I AM. That I am that created heaven and earth, that made man from the dust of the earth, that said, “Let there be light” and there was light. Today, we know much more about that I AM than Moses did. For example, we now know that He is that I AM that made way in the red sea, that brought water out of the rock, that raised the dead, etc. the I AM THAT I AM that is our Father, Saviour, Friend and Supporter.
