“Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.
It is fitting to look at the Exodus story as we approach the Easter season. As God delivered His people from the bondage of Egypt, He delivers us from the bondage of sin through Jesus Christ. Why would He deliver us? He wants to take us as His own people. God is redeeming a new people out of every people group in the world to display His glory. ~ Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor, GraceNYC.org
