Book Of Exodus Intro
Exodus is a book about hope. It doesn't always seem like it when you read it. The context is a desert after all. Forty years of wandering in a wilderness looking ahead to the promised land of Canaan.
The title says it all. Exodus can be defined as a mass departure of people. In this book, it's the departure of the Israelites from Egypt. Exodus is a book about hope, because it's a reminder that God is our deliverer.
It's also a reminder of how often we get in the way when we gripe and complain and try to take matters into our own hands. Throughout this book, we will see a God who doesn't give up on His people. It doesn't mean there isn't some discipline along the way, but God has a plan for His people.
While this is specifically an account of God's chosen nation, Israel, as told by Moses, it's also a story for all of His people who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ. In fact, this book will clearly point to the coming deliverer, Jesus Christ.
If you've ever felt like you were wandering in a wilderness, this study is for you. If you've been discouraged and frustrated with life, this study is for you. If you need a fresh reminder that God is in the deliverance business, this study is for you.
Whether you find yourself on a mountaintop or in the valley, or somewhere in between, this book of the Bible may be exactly what you need. Our hope is in our Deliverer. And even if you find yourself in the desert, God will bring you home!
