RESCUE

THE GOD WHO HEARS 

The Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their slavery went up to God. God heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob. So God looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them.    

Exodus 2:23b - 25 (NIV)

THE GOD WHO ACTS 

“Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.’”    Exodus 6:6 (NIV)

THE GOD WHO REDEEMS 

When the Lord goes through the land to strike down the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down. “Obey these instructions as a lasting ordinance for you and your descendants. When you enter the land that the Lord will give you as he promised, observe this ceremony. And when your children ask you, ‘What does this ceremony mean to you?’  then tell them, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the Lord, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.’”    Exodus 12:23 - 27a (NIV)

For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.    1 Corinthians 5:7b (NIV)

THE GOD WHO DELIVERS 

The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.    Exodus 14:14 (NIV)  

For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. Romans 6:6 (NIV) 

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.    Psalm 34:17 (NIV)  

“Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.”    Exodus 8:1b (NIV)  

When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.    Colossians 2:13 - 15 (NIV)  

“I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.”    Exodus 6:6b (NIV)
