Bart Byl on Exodus 2:23-3:14.

Series: Christ in the Old Testament

From first to last, Exodus is the story of the mighty acts of God, who delivers his people “with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm”. Unlike all the other gods, this God sees the misery of the oppressed and he hears their groans. He rides to their rescue, he sweeps away the most powerful army on earth, clearing a path for the twelve tribes who can only watch in awe as God moves on their behalf. This God is not a much bigger Pharaoh, who is going to feed on the Israelite nation to keep himself alive. Because God does not need anything, the giving only goes one way: from God down to his creation. Exodus provides the paradigm for salvation and redemption for Israel, and when Jesus shows up, he comes to lead Israel in a new and greater Exodus — not from Egypt this time, but from the far greater enemies of Satan, sin and death.
