We made it!!! Today we finished the book of Exodus after 7 short months and discussed the overall themes and applications of the book as a whole. Of the many things we discussed, one of the things that stuck out to me was how Exodus demonstrates God's purposeful redemption in a small dose of what would come through Christ. Just as Genesis makes the case for man's depravity, Exodus concludes with the beautiful picture of God's redemption and the establishment of a specific method for approaching God.
Fast forward to the New Testament and we see Christ demonstrating eternal redemption in his death, burial, and resurrection. He ascends to Heaven where he is our Eternal High Priest, forever pleading his own blood as payment for our sin.
Here are the outlines. For bonus credit, leave a comment on your thoughts regarding the similarities and differences between God's covenant with Abraham and with Moses (see the last interpretation question on the Exodus 39-40 outline). See you next week!!
