Exodus (Program #26) – Israel’s Exodus from Egypt (1)
In New Testament terms, to have an exodus is to get out of the world. However, without the picture in the book of Exodus, it’s difficult to say just how we are to get out of the world. Even to talk about it without consulting the picture may lead us into confusion. How we thank the Lord for the picture and the ministry we have today to unveil this picture to us.
We are talking about an exodus from the world depicted for us graphically in the book of Exodus. The way this picture is presented in this message is very illuminating and very compelling. We need to realize that experiential many many believers today have experienced Christ as their Passover. God has passover them, the blood of the Lamb has redeemed them from the righteous judgment of God, but they remained in Egypt, still needing to make an exodus, so that God’s purpose to have a dwelling place can be fulfilled. If we care only for the benefits that come to us through salvation, we may be contend to remain in Egypt with Christ as our Passover Lamb. But if we care for God’s economy, not only will we make our exodus from Egypt, we will be burdened that all of God’s people be released from Egypt and to serve God and to be one with Him for the building up of the church as His Body to consummate the New Jerusalem.
