In this sermon from Exodus, we reflected on how God heard the cries of His enslaved people and remained faithful to His covenant with Abraham by rescuing them from bondage. In Exodus 6, God reaffirms four key promises: to bring His people out from under their burdens, to deliver them, to redeem them, and to make them His own. As these promises unfold in Exodus 12, God establishes the Passover meal as a physical reminder of His deliverance through the blood of a spotless lamb. Every element of that first Passover pointed ahead to Jesus, who would later enter the story as our Redeemer. He is the true Passover Lamb—His death brings freedom from the slavery of sin. Like the unleavened bread, His body was broken, wrapped, buried, and revealed again in the glory of His resurrection. Just as Israel was called to live as a free and set-apart people, we too are invited to live in the freedom and redemption made possible through Jesus sacrifice.
