The God revealed in Exodus is the loving Lord, who, at the appointed time with His mighty actions brought salvation and deliverance to His people. The Exodus from Egypt and the crossing of the Red Sea were pivotal and unique events—God’s spectacular and marvelous acts. No greater or glorious event ever happened in the Old Testament. It is the gospel but according to Moses.
God arose to demonstrate His care and protection for the Hebrews despite their constant backslidings. This series of divine interventions was the beginning of their renewed journey with God from Egypt that led eventually to Canaan.
Exodus, the study of our guide this quarter by Jiří Moskala, is a book about the God of love who ultimately went to the cross for us. By studying Exodus, we will get a unique look at what God is really like.
The events in the book should serve as a warning and a source of unforgettable instruction for us now. We should study and learn from them, because no matter how different the circumstances, the spiritual principles behind them remain the same.
May the Lord bless us as we study this pivotal book, which reminds us of how God wants to lead His people from slavery to sin, from death to life, and from the wilderness to the New Jerusalem (Heb. 12:22).
