Wondrous is the sight which here meets our view. It is a Bush in flames, but not consumed. Destroying fire fails to destroy. Perishable wood refuses to be fuel. Reader this surely is no new object to you. But know that it abounds in lessons which your search cannot exhaust. It must be so. The unsearchable riches of Jesus are in this mine He, who is the Wonder of Wonders, is the true Wonder of the Bush. Reader you must see Christ by faith, if ever you would see God and enter heaven. You must know Christ in heart, if ever you would know peace in conscience and hope in death. Ask then the Holy Spirit that He would make the blazing Bush to be a blaze of saving light within your soul. The way to the burning Bush lies through an avenue of instructive thoughts. Reader it is an important principle, that none can tread the world beneath their feet until they see a fairer world above their heads. When the Lord is set before you, your eyes are dim to lower objects. The beauty of the all-beauteous One makes other loveliness unlovely.
What has the Exodus in common with the Christ of the New Testament? How are we to read and understand the book of Exodus in the wider perspective of God's redemptive plan for humanity? In the New Testament, we find various references to the book of Exodus, including the wonderful discourse of Christ on the road to Emmaus, showing them Christ "beginning with Moses". But how are we to recognize Christ in the book of Exodus?
Henry Law, the dean of Gloucester in the 18th century, drives us through the book of Exodus to discover together The Gospel of Exodus, to help us see how the Word of God reveals, in a prophetic and typical manner, the plan of redemption made even before the creation of this Universe.
