Encounters with Jesus – Moses encounters Jesus

/ lovesjesus

Today we studied the encounters Moses had with the Lord Jesus.

We considered this Scripture:

For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. John 5:46

We also looked at the New Testament text where Moses was mentioned or the 40 years of the wilderness. And we reviewed a brief biography of Moses with some highlights in his life on a timeline – along with a geographical map.

Some of the takeaways:

  • Moses saw the Lord Jesus face to face. Ex. 33:11
  • Moses wrote about Jesus- the bible says if you believe Moses’s writings your heart is ready to trust Jesus for salvation. John 5:46
  • Jesus was with the Israelites in the Wilderness: “and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ.” 1 Cor. 10: 4
  • Old Testament writers including Moses carefully considered Jesus and searched and inquired carefully about the salvation he brings. Moses and Jesus spoke face to face and Moses considered and searched and inquired carefully. “Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, [11] inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories.” (1 Peter 1: 10-11)
  • Jesus was the one saving and judging the Israelites in the Wilderness “Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.” Jude 5
  • Where is Jesus in the Old Testament?: “When we read in sacred history what God did from time to time towards his church and people, and what he said to them, and how he revealed himself to them, we are to understand it especially of the second Person of the Trinity. When we read of God’s appearing after the Fall, from time to time, in some visible form or outward symbol of his presence, we are ordinarily, if not universally, to understand it of the second Person of the Trinity.” David Murray  – Book Jesus on Every Page Chapter 9.
