When Moses approached
the Burning Bush, he heard God saying, “I am the God of your father, the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.”
Why the
redundancy? The reference to the “God of
your father,” may answer the question.
There were four men who saw God, each one in a different light. Abraham had his understanding of God, Isaac
had his, as did Jacob and Moses’ own father.
Moses was being challenged to do the same. What was his response? “Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to
look at God.” –unknown
Each of us will
apprehend God in our own manner, according to our willingness, openness and
ability.
