Pastor Brent’s opening illustration is that the Bible is like a historical, theological musical: God used particular people, places and events in order to show us what it means to be saved. God is both a promise-maker and a promise-keeper. In this passage centered on Moses, God reveals His name (Ex. 5:22-6:5) and His role as our Redeemer (Ex. 6:6-6:8). God cares more about our character and our growing Christ-likeness than He cares about our comfort. Pastor Brent also notes the many parallels between the Exodus from Egypt and Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection as the Perfect Israel. Jesus is the I AM—the fulfiller of all of God’s promises!
