Exodus 1:1-2:10
Things were difficult for Israel yet ‘the more they were oppressed the more they multiplied’(12).
Difficult times can be the making of God’s people!
Pharaoh (and Satan!) is murderously anxious about the growth of God's people (15-16; John 10:10).
God is about to move in saving power - His ‘midwives’ are preparing for the ‘birth’ of His redeemed people (17,20).
Moses was preserved in ‘a basket made of bulrushes’(2:3).
Born again, we are preserved through God’s Word and Spirit - ‘the living and abiding Word of God’(1 Peter 1:23).
Moses was drawn out of the water (2:10).
Israel was drawn out of the bondage in Egypt (6:6-8).
Like Israel, we have been redeemed by blood (12:13; 1 Peter 1:18-19).
Redeemed by the Lord, we are to be consecrated to Him.
In 20:1-2, ‘the Ten Commandments’ are introduced by a declaration of God’s salvation.
Our obedience to God is to be grounded in this: He has redeemed us!
Exodus 2:11-3:22
Salvation, service, personal faith, life among God’s people - God has much to teach us.
Moses sins (2:12).
God graciously forgives (Micah 7:18-19) - this is salvation.
His sin forgiven, Moses is called to service.
He is called by the eternal God, the God who draws near to His people (3:14-15).
Saved by Christ, we are called to serve Him, the eternal ‘God’ who ‘became flesh and dwelt among us’(John 1:1-14).
Saved, we belong to God’s people (1 Peter 2:10).
Serving, we play our part within the ‘one body’ of Christ (Romans 12:4-5).
Moses was to serve God’s people, the people whose prayer God answered - delivering them from bondage and leading them on to great blessing (2:23-25; 3:8).
Moses was a key figure, but he did not stand alone.
The work of God made progress because the people of God went forward together.
In God’s work, we are to be participators - not spectators!
