Exodus (Program #29) – Israel’s Crossing of the Red Sea
The children of Israel had two serious problems; God’s judgment and Pharaoh’s tyranny. Although the Passover was adequate to save them from God’s judgment, it was not effective to rescue them from the usurpation of the Egyptians, to be saved from Pharaoh’s tyranny. For this they needed the exodus and the crossing of the Red Sea. Without the crossing of the Red Sea, there would have been no separating line. Today we will consider the significance of crossing the Red Sea on this life study of the Bible.
Today we are going to look at a very well-known passage, the children of Israel are passing through the parted water of the Red Sea. But we are going to see today from an angle that will likely be new to many of our listeners. The apostle Paul refers to this story in the New Testament in 1 Corinthians 10:1-2 “For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And all were baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea”. Those are very enlightening verses because they really pick up this story we had before us today and see how it applies to us. Of course, it’s not hard to see that this could very easily represent the significance of our baptism..
