Christ delivers His people by bearing their sins and suffering on their behalf, as portrayed in the burning bush incident in Exodus 3.
The deliverance of God's people is magnificently illustrated through the symbolism in Exodus 3:2, where the angel of the Lord appears in a burning bush that is not consumed. This imagery points to Christ, who would ultimately bear the sins of His people. The bush, a thornbush, represents the curse of sin; Christ, taking on flesh, would confront that curse directly by suffering the full wrath of God against sin on behalf of His people. Throughout His life and particularly at Calvary, He bore the curse and punishment of sin, depicted through the burning bush that endured the fire but remained unconsumed. This teaches us that, through Christ’s sacrifice, His people are freed from punishment forever, as the fire of God's wrath against their sin has been exhausted in Him.
