Dearly beloved congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ, the dialogue between God and Moses was interrupted by the genealogy in ch. 6 last week. We were reminded that Moses and Aaron were ordinary people in whom God's promise and provision ran rampant. Well, this Sunday, we are reminded once again of just how large God's promise and provision really are. We have a way of forgetting what God has told us He'll do. Correction: I have a way of forgetting the size of His promises. But this text, in which God comes back and repeats all of His promises to Moses again, is here to remind us not only that Moses needed a reminder, but that we do too. Let me put it this way: This is our 21st sermon on Exodus. I have preached nearly 450 sermons from this pulpit, and some of you have been here for pretty much all of them. And yet you keep coming back, and so do I, because we are a forgetful people and we need to be reminded again of just how large Yahweh's promises to us actually are. So let's look at these promises afresh.
