In the exodus story we hear the word ‘salvation’ applied to God’s people for the first time.
This term we dive into Exodus 1-18. Exodus is an archetypal salvation story that reveals God to be a mighty rescuer. A God who hears his people, keeps his promises, judges the oppressor and releases the down-trodden. It’s a historical event that informs how God’s people understand their identity from this point on. It provides a spiritual paradigm for the rescue mission of Jesus who leads all people from slavery to death and sin, through the trials and testing of christian life towards the New Creation.
