Name of God

 

Jesus Christ is the same God, who has spoken to Moses from the bush

I remember the words of Br. Shaji when he explains the Name of God. He said: ‘Jesus Christ is the same God, the living God, who  has spoken to Moses from the bush, in Mt. Sinai. And we should believe He is our Lord and God’ ‘The angel of Yahweh appeared to him in a flame blazing from the middle of a bush. Moses looked; there was the bush blazing, but the bush was not being burnt up. Moses said, ‘I must go across and see this strange sight, and why the bush was not being burnt up.’ When Yahweh saw him going across to look, God called to him from the middle of the bush. ‘Moses, Moses!’ he said. Here I am,’ he answered. Come no nearer,’ he said. ‘Take of your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground. I am God of your ancestors.’ he said ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and God of Jacob.’ At this Moses covered his face, for he was afraid to look at God.’(Exodus.3: 2-6). God is asking Moses to make him holy before approaching Him. God has told His name to Moses and he afraid to approach God and face His vision. In this Vision to Moses he felt his nothingness and he humbled himself and accept the will of God. God again revealed His Name “God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob. Moses was trembled with fear and respect towards God.
