Exodus: Jesus in Exodus


Listen Later

Welcome to the sermon! We're continuing our study of Exodus, seeing it as the key pattern for our lives and all of Scripture: Creation, Fall, Redemption, Renewal. Today’s point is simple: you can't truly understand Jesus without understanding Exodus. It's the backdrop for His entire life and ministry.

Scripture References

  • 1 Corinthians 10:1-11: The Exodus story was written as an example and warning for us.
  • Luke 24:27: Jesus explained how all Scriptures, starting with Moses, pointed to Him.
  • John 5:39: The Scriptures testify about Jesus.
  • Jude 5: It was Jesus who saved a people out of the land of Egypt.
  • Hebrews 3:1-6: Jesus is the greater Moses, a son over God’s house.
  • Matthew 17:1-8: Jesus discusses His "exodus" (departure) at the Transfiguration.

Key Points

1. Jesus' "Cameos" in the Old Testament

Like a director making a cameo in their own film, Jesus appears throughout the Old Testament. We should read it looking for Him through:

  • Prophecies: Predictions of His coming.
  • Progenies: Genealogies that point to His arrival.
  • Prefiguring: Types and symbols, like the Passover lamb or the manna from heaven.
  • Personal Appearances: Pre-incarnate appearances like the "angel of the Lord" who accepts worship.

2. Jesus is the Greater Moses

Jesus’s life recapitulates and fulfills the Exodus story.

  • His Birth: Like Moses, born under a tyrannical king slaughtering infants.
  • His Baptism: Passed through water (baptism) and was tested in the wilderness, succeeding where Israel failed.
  • His Teaching: Delivered the New Covenant ethics (Sermon on the Mount) from a mountain, just as Moses delivered the Law from a mountain.
  • His Death: Crucified during Passover week as the ultimate, perfect Lamb of God.

Conclusion

Jesus is leading a new, cosmic Exodus right now. This is a present-tense reality. He is making a way out of our bondage to the cosmic pharaohs of Satan, sin, and death. The way out is not a plan, but a Person. Jesus declared, "I am the Way," and He is leading His people into freedom and new life.

Calls to Action

  1. Follow the Leader: Recognize Jesus as the one leading you out of bondage.
  2. Join the Migration: Choose to leave the kingdom of darkness for the kingdom of light.
  3. Come to the Table: Participate in communion to celebrate your part in this new Exodus.
  4. Receive Prayer: If you feel stuck, humbly ask for prayer.
