The book of Exodus shows us the way out of the slavery first of all the literal slavery the children of Israel were experiencing in Egypt and then by application the slavery that we experienced today to sin. [00:00:15]
In the book of Exodus, you see the power of God displayed in a very unique way in the form of the ten plagues. You see the great and powerful hand of God come down upon Egypt and the Pharaoh there in Egypt. [00:01:43]
The message of the ten plagues that come down upon Pharaoh and Egypt and move them to the point where they are willing to let the Hebrew people go, this is a picture of a great truth that's caught in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. [00:02:20]
God permits evil to be in this world. It's sort of like the black velvet background against which the jeweler displays his beautiful diamond. God permits evil to be in this world because it gives him a backdrop against which he can just demonstrate his great power and his love and His grace and His mercy. [00:04:56]
The pressure of Satan will come to us, perhaps through our friends, do it in Egypt if you're going to do your this thing. And then the next attempt that Pharaoh makes to get Moses to compromise, a few more plagues come and then Pharaoh says, well, you can go, but don't go very far. [00:08:48]
Moses really shows us the principles of deliverance in these attempts that Pharaoh makes to get him to compromise because in each case Moses refuses to compromise with Pharaoh. I like the way he puts it in chapter 10, verses 24 to 26. [00:11:56]
The first principle of deliverance from sin is don't get involved in sin in the first place. That's the great principle of deliverance for this problem of the bondage and tyranny of sin. [00:11:59]
The first principle of deliverance is don't get in in the first place. Don't get involved, don't compromise with sin. You cannot coexist with sin any more than you can coexist with cancer, so don't compromise with sin. [00:12:48]
To get out of the bondage and tyranny of sin, you need a whole bunch of miracles. That's what the book of Exodus tells us, and it fixes these miracles very beautifully, very allegorically, but very beautifully. [00:14:24]
Once you and I have been saved, we need another miracle. We need divine guidance because God saves us for a purpose. Paul calls it the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. [00:18:18]
The sacrament at the heart of the deliverance of the children of Israel has become the sacrament at the heart of our salvation. In the twelfth chapter of Exodus, we're told that when that last plague came to Egypt, it was taking the firstborn of every Egyptian family. [00:22:04]
The basic Jewish sacrament is Passover. The basic Christian sacrament is communion, the Eucharist, the Lord's table, whatever you call it. Now, the reason why the sacrament of Passover is at the heart of the deliverance of the children of Israel and the Eucharist is at the heart of Christian salvation is because it took a miracle to save those people in Egypt, and it took a miracle to save you and me.
