Exodus 3-2 says, And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. And he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. According to the Bible, if you're not a born-again Christian, then you don't know Jesus. You might know his name, you might even know some facts, including the facts of the gospel, and know many other things about Jesus, but you don't know Jesus. There are many millions of people who claim to be Christians and call Jesus by the term Lord. But Jesus said in Matthew 7, 22 and 23, many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils and in thy name done many wonderful works. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me ye that work iniquity. Why? Because they're frauds. They're not born again. John 3, 7, Jesus said in plain terms, marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again. I begin with that thought in order to explain why it is that so few people seem to know the real biblical Jesus. And if you really want to get to know Jesus, forget what you've been told by anyone. Forget your own opinions and go to the book, the Holy Bible, King James Version. In America, only about 10 to 15% of adults are professing born-again Christians who believe that Jesus is God in the flesh, his death and resurrection are sufficient to save those who believe, Jesus is the only way to heaven, and other required fundamental doctrines. In other words, beyond 10 or 15% of the American population, all other professing born-again Christians are not Christians, and you talk to them, they'll deny these fundamental doctrines. And the bottom line is that 85 to 90% of Americans do not know Jesus at all. And even of that 10 to 15% who really are born again believers in Jesus, there is a vast amount of ignorance and unbiblical ideas about Jesus. Now just think about that. I don't have time to make the case further, but any honest observer who is himself or herself a real born-again Christian would have to accept this as reality. And that's why when you start to speak of Jesus as holy, just, and righteous, as the judge who will damn all Christ-rejecting sinners to an everlasting lake of fire, so many people, professing Christians and non-Christians alike, totally reject that truth. Deuteronomy 4.24 says, for the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. That's talking about Jesus. And so is Deuteronomy 9.3 that says, understand therefore this day that the Lord thy God is he which goeth over before thee as a consuming fire. And that's not just Old Testament. Hebrews 12.29 says, for our God is a consuming fire. So it should be no surprise that the Lord approached Moses as the angel of the Lord. These are known as pre-incarnate Old Testament appearances of Jesus and they're called Theophanies or Christophanies. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. Later, Jesus appears to Samson's parents, and the description is amazing in Judges 13, 19, and 20. So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering and offered it upon a rock unto the Lord. And the angel did wondrously. And Manoah and his wife looked on, for it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from the altar, that the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar. M&O would later say they'd seen God. Why, that was Jesus in that flame. If your Jesus is just some always soft-spoken flower child tiptoeing through the tulips, singing happy clappy songs all the time, well, that Jesus is a facade. That isn't the biblical Jesus. Now, it is a fact. Jesus is love. Jesus is mercy. Jesus is grace. He is gracious. But if you reject him, then you are embracing unbelief and wickedness. And when that happens, Jesus is judgment. Jesus is justice. Jesus is wrath. Jesus is a consuming fire.
