The Story- Restoration

Romans 8:17-19 The glory that shall be revealed

From Passover to Promise (Exodus 12:1-14)

They began their trek through the wilderness to a land of promise

Along this road they had to depend on God for protection, guidance and provision

This road had temptation, difficulty, wars and testings

This is the road we are on as we march toward the promised kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

Travellers looking for a greater city

Suffering is not comparable to the glory that will come

God has promised us a place with him (John 14:1-6)

We must not be mindful of where we came (Hebrews 11:8-16)

The Israelites observed the passover as travellers

Travellers living in earnest expectation

Looking back at what God has done in Egypt

God had redeemed them from slavery and purchased them for himself

God had given them all the riches of Egypt and gave them promises of their own country

Looking forward to what God will do in the future

They could not look back with desire of returning or else they would faulter on the way

They had to remain in their faith and hope of what God would do in the future

God is going to create a new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21:1-4, 22:1-5)

Travellers waiting for the manifestation

All of creation will be redeemed and set free from the curse of sin

Until then we run so that we may obtain

1 Corinthians 9:24-10:13 These are given to us as an example

The Lord’s supper reminds us of the promised kingdom where we will one day eat and drink with our King

1 Corinthians 11:23-29 do until he come

Matthew 26:26-29 I will not drink again until I drink new in my Father’s Kingdom
