Exodus 3:11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
God called Moses to go to Pharaoh and bring forth His people out of Egypt. This would appear to all the world like an impossible task, and Moses was already afraid of the king. Indeed, it was impossible for a human being, but for God nothing shall be impossible. In fact, God did it all, with great signs and wonders. Moses said, when the waters were about to part, ”Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord [Exodus 14:13].”
Moses raised four objections to God’s call. The first was: ”Who am I?” He felt his own weakness, sinfulness and unworthiness. Naturally; who wouldn’t? This was the similar response of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Peter to the call of God. It is also our initial response to the call of God on our lives. When the Lord calls us to life and salvation through the Gospel we truthfully respond, ”I am not worthy of the least of all Your mercies.” This is true, but then He causes us to believe His Grace and receive Jesus.
The impossible task of forgiving our sin, saving our soul, and giving life to the dead has been worked and finished by the Son of God. Jesus is worthy! Our question, then, in response to God’s call on our life changes from ”Who am I?” to “Who is Jesus?” And we spend the rest of our lives working out the answer with thanks and praise, giving honor and worship, glory and dominion unto Him. ”For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.”
