EXodus

The life we live in Jesus Christ is filled with much joy and much pain. Times when things go as we planned and many times when they do not. One this is for sure God’s people can confidently say they are exactly where God wants them to be. He is working in it all.

Yahweh is not even close to being finished distinguishing Himself from any other false God, or any other human being. The Pharaoh of Egypt has never faced anything nor anyone like our God. The one asking Pharaoh to let His people go, rules over all things. He is the Sovereign of the entire Universe. Yet here in the plague stories of Exodus, we see glimpses of how our God rules His universe, even to this day. There is a real, horrific, and deadly serious judgment that will become reality. It has to. In order for the righteous King to maintain his righteous standard He must judge sin entirely and correctly. Yet, because of the loving kindness of our God, this judgment will come only after moment after moment of patient grace comes first. Even for Pharaoh, and those like him, when God knows how hard his heart is, still moment after moment of grace and patience comes. This righteous Judge is, at this moment, displaying patient grace to sinners. He has sent His one and only begotten Son to save and redeem us through His crucifixion and resurrection. All who love and believe in the Son of God can, and will, be saved when they call out in faith and repentance. Now is not a time to ignore the saving work of God, nor is it a time for acting deceitfully toward God, playing games with his grace in order to profit for ourselves. Now is not a time to make a deal with God and compromise with Him in order to avoid total surrender. No, the only proper response this moment calls for is our honest and humble surrender to the One True God.

The story of the plagues in Egypt serves as an introduction of Yahweh to the whole world. He is the one who made earth and everything in it. He is the one who rules over the rivers, the seas, and the nations. No king is able to stand before The One True God in defiance and succeed. The Pharaoh in Egypt is largely considered the most powerful man in the world of that time. He has enjoyed the benefits of complete control over the Hebrew slaves up to this point. Yahweh, the God of Israel, introduces Himself in a real and powerful way as The One True God over all the earth. In Revelation chapter 6 at the end of the opening of the sixth seal, all the enemies of God realize his nature and power. They decide it would be better for the rocks of the mountains to fall on them instead of having to face this One True God. The chapter ends with this question, “the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” Last plague Pharaoh seemed unbothered, the Bible says “Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he did not take even this to heart.” As the plague story goes on, this bold, confident, and unbothered Pharaoh quickly transforms into one like those pleading in Revelation 6. May our cry for mercy come forth now, loud and genuine. Come face to face with the One True God and see his majesty. Only those who have trusted in the Son, the Savior and Lord Jesus Christ can stand before the Almighty.
