SAA Notes
The exodus is one of the central events of Scripture. When Moses and Elijah come and talk with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration about His death, they literally call it an exodus (translated departure in the NIV)! (Luke 9:30) The exodus is salvation by grace through faith!
SJA Notes
* Dear God Above, You are full of love and mercy – Thank You for watching over us Your people.
“It was a night of watching by the LORD, to bring them out of the land of Egypt;”
The LORD watched over His people, bringing them out of Egypt – Out of slavery.
This is before the law was given to Moses.
Here is the grace of the gospel at work, salvation before sanctification.
Bringing out from darkness before the teaching and practice of what it means to walk in the light.
The Lord WATCHED!
He watches over us too, as He calls us, and as we walk along the narrow way.
This can be of great comfort for us – That our all-powerful God decides and determines to watch over His people (for our good).
* Father God,
Thank You for watching over us as You did for Your people Israel as Your brought them out of Egypt.
Thank You for calling us from darkness into light.
Thank You for giving to us Your word, which shows us how to live.
Please show us today what You want for us to know.
Amen.
