What does the burning bush symbolize in the context of the sermon?

Answered in 1 source

The burning bush symbolizes Christ and the presence of God among His people, sustaining them without destruction.

In the sermon, the burning bush is portrayed as a powerful image of Christ, representing His divine presence that does not consume but instead sustains. This imagery emphasizes God's holiness and the concept that through Christ, believers are not consumed by God's righteous wrath but experience His saving grace. The bush being a thorny shrub also symbolizes the state of humanity under sin and the curse, yet Christ enters into this human condition to redeem and deliver His people. It is a profound reminder that God can use ordinary, humble means to communicate His extraordinary grace and mercy.
