In the context of the Bible, the term "exhibit" can be understood as the act of displaying or demonstrating something for the purpose of instruction, evidence, or testimony. While the specific word "exhibit" may not frequently appear in most English translations of the Bible, the concept is prevalent throughout the Scriptures in various forms, such as signs, wonders, and testimonies.

Exhibits of God's Power and Glory

The Bible is replete with instances where God exhibits His power and glory to His people. One of the most notable examples is the series of plagues in Egypt, which served as a divine exhibition of God's supremacy over the Egyptian gods and His power to deliver His people. In Exodus 7:3-5 , God declares, "But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I will multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay My hand on Egypt and by mighty acts of judgment bring out My divisions, My people the Israelites."

Similarly, the parting of the Red Sea is another powerful exhibit of God's miraculous intervention. In Exodus 14:21-22 , it is recorded, "Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. So the waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left."

Exhibits of Faith

The lives of biblical figures often serve as exhibits of faith and obedience to God. Hebrews 11, often referred to as the "Faith Hall of Fame," provides numerous examples of individuals whose lives exhibited faith in action. For instance, Hebrews 11:7 states, "By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in godly fear built an ark to save his family. By faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith."

Exhibits of Christ's Ministry

The ministry of Jesus Christ is marked by numerous exhibits of His divine authority and compassion. His miracles, teachings, and fulfillment of prophecy serve as exhibits of His identity as the Messiah. In John 2:11 , after Jesus turned water into wine at the wedding in Cana, it is noted, "This, the first of His signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him."

Furthermore, the resurrection of Jesus is the ultimate exhibit of His victory over sin and death. In Acts 1:3 , it is recorded, "After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God."

Exhibits of the Early Church

The early church also served as an exhibit of the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. The apostles, empowered by the Spirit, performed signs and wonders that testified to the truth of the Gospel. Acts 2:43 describes the early church, "A sense of awe came over everyone, and the apostles performed many wonders and signs."

Exhibits in Christian Living

Believers are called to exhibit the character of Christ in their daily lives. The Apostle Paul exhorts Christians to live in a manner worthy of their calling, exhibiting the fruit of the Spirit. In Galatians 5:22-23 , Paul writes, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law."

In summary, the concept of "exhibit" in the Bible encompasses the demonstration of God's power, the testimony of faith, the ministry of Jesus, the witness of the early church, and the call for believers to live out their faith in tangible ways.
