“I brought you up from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery, and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.”
Micah 6:4
God was saying to His people: “Your parents were slaves. If it had not been for me, that would have been your life too. But I stepped in and brought them out of Egypt. I made them my own and brought them into an entirely new position—freedom and blessing.”
The Exodus was the definitive act of God that changed everything for His people in the Old Testament. It points forward to the death and resurrection of Jesus in the New Testament, in which God seals His new covenant that releases us from slavery to sin, and brings us into a new position as sons and daughters of God.
God says, “I have blessed you. I have kept you. I have provided for you. I have kept my covenant with you.” And whatever difficulties you may have experienced in life. If you are in Christ, you know that this is true.
If you are in Christ today? Reflect on the circumstances that changed everything for you, and how He released you from slavery to sin. If not, what would it mean for you to be set free from slavery to sin? What are you waiting for?
