Located on the south wall of the nave, second from the front, this window is called “Moses and the Burning Bush.” This Old Testament miracle is recorded in Exodus 3. Look at that third chapter and see if you can guess which verse is the precise one captured in the window. Recall that when the bush was burning and not being consumed, Moses’ curiosity got the better of him and he started to approach the area. But he was stopped “dead” in his tracks! The clue which answers the question is in verse 5. “... put off thy shoes off from thy feet.” Notice the glass art. Moses has his shoes off. He is at a pivotal point of his life. He was found guilty of murder by the Egyptian court and was sentenced to die in the desert heat. But God had preserved him for a long time. The Children of Israel were persistent in their prayers and now God is commissioning Moses to be the Deliverer of his people from the long, long Egyptian . We have another window depicting a later mighty miracle in Moses’ life when the waters of the Red Sea were parted to permit the exodus of the Israelites to continue over dry land as the Egyptian armies were in hot pursuit behind them. Before his life is to end, Moses sees many later miracles wrought by God’s mighty hand! The beautiful colors selected for the window show the contrast between the “mountain of God” and the burning bush. Moses has put his staff down. Maybe it is the same one he used at God’s command in miracles done in Egypt. His shoes have been removed since he is on hallowed ground. He is shielding his eyes from the glow of the fire.
