Exodus 39-40
SALVATION: GOD’S LOVE FOR THE UNDESERVING
God, in spite of our sin, saves us. He forgives idolatry, overlooks failure, untangles our messes, and ultimately provides salvation… if we will just listen to Him and do what He says.
Exodus 34-38
GRACE: FORGIVENESS WE DON’T DESERVE
God gives “unmerited favor” (grace) to us when we repent and seek Him. We never deserve it, but God gives it graciously through Christ.
Exodus 32-33
MERCY: SPARED THE JUDGEMENT WE DESERVE
Just like the Israelites at the bottom of Mt. Sinai we all sin and deserve wrath. God spares us by pouring that wrath out on Jesus instead. Moses provides insight into how Jesus takes our penalty and gives us mercy.
Exodus 30-31
SABBATH: FINDING REST IN A SINFUL WORLD
God provides rest for His People who obey His commands. We often attempt to find rest in many places that have nothing to do with God.
Exodus 28-29
MEDIATOR: BRIDGE BETWEEN GOD AND MAN
Moses’s brother Aaron will be ordained as a priest in today’s passage, with the clear function of going between God and Man. This is an amazing glimpse ahead at the roll of Jesus our perfect Mediator.
Exodus 24-26
INCARNATION: UNITING GOD AND HUMANITY
The division between God and Man that resulted from sin is overcome in Jesus. God and humanity are united physically in Christ’s body, as well as spiritually at the cross.
Exodus 21-23
LAWS: HOW WE LOVE OTHERS
To fully understand the 10 Commandments and laws that clarify them we must look through the lens of love. Christians are called to love God and love others. Laws teach us how to faithfully love both God and others.
Exodus 18-20
COMMANDMENTS: HOW GOD’S PEOPLE LIVE
God prescribes how how we are to live by covenanting with Moses (who represents the people). We can be a holy nation, and a kingdom of priests, if we live as God has taught us to live.
Exodus 16-17
PROVISION: GOD PROVIDES FOR HIS PEOPLE
Learning to depend upon God to provide for us, rather than depending upon ourselves, our government, or our circumstances, leads us to greater faith.
Exodus 14-15
PROVIDENCE: GOD’S WILL FOR OUR GOOD
God does amazing things for His people, though His will is often hidden to us, God’s will is always for His glory and our good.
