British Weekly Exodus 3:1-6 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert… I. THE MANIFESTATION OF GOD IN THE PURITY OF ITS NATURE. 1. Purity is essential to the being of God. 2. Purity is essential to the government of God. 3. Purity is essential to the worship of God. II. THE MANIFESTATION OF GOD IN THE SEVERITY OF ITS OPERATION — "the bush was burned with fire." Every impurity must be consumed, and every obstacle to the kingdom of God must be destroyed. This severity is evident — 1. In the chastisements of the godly, and — 2. In the utter destruction of the impenitent. III. THE MANIFESTATION OF GOD IN ITS GRACIOUS INTENTION — "and the bush was not consumed." 1. God in Christ is a Saviour. 2. The operations of the Holy Spirit purify the soul, but do not destroy the man.
