Exodus 20 - A Just Recompense

Exodus 3:16-22; Hebrews 12:18-29

Brief Sermon Overview +/-

Through the Exodus account the Holy Spirit exhibits for us both the Temporal and Spiritual deliverance of God's people from the wrath of Pharaoh, and the evil taskmasters of sin's hard bondage.

By use of the Lawgiver, God's man Moses, a great type of the Lord Christ, God shows how Christ brings His people from sin's hard bondage, to regeneration, to justice, to dominion and finally to everlasting life.

After Identifying Himself to Moses as the Sovereign and Eternal Great I AM, God begins to set forth a logistical tactic for deliverance which beings with the gathering of the elders of Israel. This is God's first action-strategy commandment to Moses.

God commands Moses to gather the elders of Israel together as One Man to go before Pharaoh, King of Egypt. Once there they are to make this proposition: “Let my people go!”

By a mighty hand, and an outstretched arm, God will make His power known by the deliverance of His people, so that they may come forth with great substance and glorious liberty.
