Among His Verses | Finding Jesus in Every Chapter of the Bible

Exodus 6: “I Am the LORD” — The Name That Becomes Flesh Exodus 6 is not a transition chapter. It is a revelation of Jesus. After the rejection of the deliverer in Exodus 5 — where Pharaoh hardened his heart , Moses is discouraged. Israel is crushed. The promises feel distant. And then God speaks. “I am the LORD.” In Hebrew: YHWH . The covenant name. The self-existent One. But this name is not fully understood until John 8 — when Jesus declares: “Before Abraham was, I AM.” Exodus 6 is where the name becomes personal. And one day, that Name will become flesh. The Seven “I Will” Promises — Fulfilled in Christ In Exodus 6:6–8, God gives seven promises: I will bring you out I will rescue you I will redeem you I will take you as My people I will be your God I will bring you into the land I will give it to you This is not just about Israel leaving Egypt. This is the gospel in shadow form. Jesus fulfills every “I will”: He brings us out of sin. He rescues us from bondage. He redeems us by His ...

📖 Exodus 4: The Reluctant Deliverer and the Greater Christ Exodus 4 is not about Moses’ weakness. It is about Christ’s sufficiency. In Exodus 3 ,God revealed His divine name — I AM . Now in Exodus 4, Moses hesitates. “What if they don’t believe me?” It’s the cry of every human heart called by God. But watch carefully — because every sign given to Moses whispers the name of Jesus. The Staff That Becomes a Serpent God tells Moses to throw down his staff. It becomes a serpent. Then God commands him to grab it by the tail — and it becomes a staff again. This is more than a miracle. The serpent represents authority and power in Egypt. God shows that His authority swallows Egypt’s authority. But deeper still — it foreshadows Christ. At the cross, Jesus would confront the ancient serpent. He would allow Himself to be lifted up — just like the bronze serpent later in the wilderness — and through that lifting, crush the enemy. The staff becomes a weapon of judgment. The cross becomes the instr...

Jesus Revealed as the Great I AM Exodus 3 — When Jesus Declares His Name Exodus 3 does not begin with Moses searching for God. It begins with God revealing Himself . A bush burns—but is not consumed. This is no ordinary fire. Scripture says the Angel of the LORD appears in the flame. Throughout the Old Testament, this title points to a visible manifestation of God—one that Christians have long understood as the pre-incarnate Christ . Jesus is not introduced in the New Testament. He is revealed. Moses turns aside, and God calls his name. The holy ground beneath Moses’ feet is made holy not by location—but by the presence of Christ . This moment follows years of waiting. In Exodus 2 , the deliverer was hidden. Now, the Deliverer reveals Himself—not just to send Moses, but to declare who He truly is. God speaks the words that would echo through eternity: “I AM WHO I AM.” This is not a title. It is existence itself . When Jesus later says, “Before Abraham was, I AM,” He is not borrow...
