The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work
RE: The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work
Unlikely, the authors were aware of that practice (and engaged in a version of it themselves).  Had they wished to communicate that to us, they would have done so. The burning bush got the mans attention. It steps us out of this world, and into the "otherworld", he was having an experience of the divine, an immediate and simply understood demonstration of the power of the causative agent. It burned, and yet was not consumed.

We are supposed to feel what he must have felt, when we consider this. It places -us- in the narrative, and this is required for the narrative to be effective.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
