When God’s people are in distress, God hears, cares, remembers, and acts to redeem them through Jesus Christ our mediator.


I. Timeless Problem

This passage, and the Bible as a whole, show us that no matter how much Egypt is oppressing, God is blessing. We too are oppressed by our own Pharaohs: success, materialism, lust, technology, legalism, and cultural and political orthodoxies. God does not simply come to improve the lives of his people in Egypt; he comes to deliver his people out of Egypt.

II. Priceless Solution

The narrative of Moses’ birth is the narrative of the birth of a mediator. He was born in the midst of his people’s circumstances, lived under the curse of death, and came out of death victorious. The reason we have a way out of our bondage is because God a found a way in to it. Seeing that Jesus is a mediator and knowing that God is making us like Jesus gives us an identity as God’s people and a mission toward those around us.
