Year 2

As God saved the Hebrews through the water of the Red Sea. He saves us through the washing of water in Holy Baptism, conquering Satan, our greatest enemy.

The Passover was a look back on the great salvation which God accomplished for Israel to bring them up out of the land of Egypt. It was also a looking forward to the coming of the Messiah. Christ is our Passover Lamb, whose blood was shed for our forgiveness, life, and salvation.

Through a series of horrific plagues, God pun ished the Egyptians for their sinful treatment of God's people and freed His people from bondage. Through His horrific suffering and death on the cross, Jesus takes the punishment for our sin and frees us from sin's bondage.

As God had Moses remove the sandals from his feet, God, in Christ, removes our sins from us, making us fit to approach God and stand in His presence.

Through Moses, the Lord saved His people from slavery in Egypt. Through Christ, God saves all people from the bondage of sin and death.
