What does it mean when Jesus says He has “come down from heaven” (John 3:13)? In this full-length teaching, we explore the rich biblical imagery behind God’s descent into the world—a pattern rooted in Creation, the Exodus, and ultimately fulfilled in Jesus. We’ll unpack the spiritual metaphor of “up” and “down,” a concept that is woven throughout the Bible and the human experience. From the burning bush to the Tabernacle, from Sinai to the cross, this episode traces how God’s redemptive movement has always been a descent toward His people. Discover how John uses spiritual geography and the structure of the Exodus to show us that Jesus is not only the one who brings new life—but the one who redefines what it means to be born from above. ✨ Topics Covered: - The metaphor of “coming down” in Genesis, Exodus, and John - Up/Down spiritual geography and psychological metaphor - The Hebrew word nes (נֵס): banner, sign, miracle - Baptism, rebirth, and the longing for spiritual renewal - Jesus as the fulfillment of the New Exodus 🕊️ Key Passages: John 3 · Exodus 3 & 17 · Numbers 21 · Isaiah 11 · Romans 6 · Psalms 121 & 122 Lesson Handout(s):
