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.

By faith and through repentance we are eternally saved by Jesus Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. We can know for sure He is coming back again to take his own to Himself to live with Him forever. We can know for sure that the promise of this salvation depends on God and not us which is good news because if it was a result of our actions we would lose it every morning before our first cup of coffee. How will God direct Moses at this point in Exodus 6? When it seemed like all of Israel, and even Moses himself, was ready to give up on the promise of deliverance from bondage because they thought God had failed them, forgotten them, and turned His back on them. First, God reaffirmed his everlasting covenant with His people. This was the most important reality for these people, and it is true for us who have surrendered to Jesus Christ as well, the covenant we have with God bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ is the most important reality for our lives today as well. But there is more, if we have been set free in Christ it is not for our purposes or at our leisure. After God reaffirms His covenant with Moses he also reapplies his charge to Moses. His command, his orders were once again made clear. God said “go in”. Let us all understand and be clear, God has told us all to go, and when it looks hopeless and we think God has abandoned us we must go all the more. We have the message of life, the only hope for the lost and dying world, it is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

One failure, one extreme setback, one “broken spirit and harsh slavery” has challenged the faith once on full display. From now on, Moses and Aaron are going to have to deal with leading a hurt people who have a hard time believing God again after their pain, when they attempt to do everything God calls them to. Leading these people will also become more of a challenge because this same doubt also rises up inside Moses and Aaron. The most important fact for the people of Israel is that God has made a covenant with them and in Christ, God has made a covenant with us. The covenant God has made with us, bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ, His son, is the most important fact about our lives as well. Even in our doubt, even in our failure, and especially in the bumps and bruises brought on as we walk in Christ the covenant of grace still stands. In order for it to fall someone would have to overthrow God Himself from His glorious throne, for He is the one who has written the terms and paid the price for the terms to stand, and no one will ever overthrow God or furthermore, ever pluck anyone who has been forgiven out of His hand (John 10:28). Anyone who truly and humbly calls on the name of the Lord in the name of Jesus Christ and repents of sin is not only heard, but also forgiven, blessed, redeemed, and adopted as sons and daughters of God. Brother and sister, if this humble call to the Lord comes from a place of deep “groaning” in suffering, be encouraged all the more because our God hears the groaning of His people.
