5/7 Exodus

Sisters and Brothers,

After finished book of Genesis last week, we are continuing into the book of Exodus. This is the second book of Pentateuch.

From Greek word, exodus means departure. The whole book is narrated in the departure of Israelite from Egypt. God uses Moses to deliver numerous miracles and have him to lead Israelite across Red Sea to Mount Sinai. In there, Israelite, the descendants of Jacob, entered a special covenant with the Lord.

Through Moses, God gave to the Israelite the law, ten commandments. By following these moral, civil, and ritual legislation, we will to become holy and the promise of Savior for all mankind would be fulfilled.

in Christ,
Dan
