Jesus has brought in his body people out of the bondage of sin crossover into eternal life
27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal course when the morning appeared. And as the Egyptians fled into it, the Lord threw the Egyptians into the midst of the sea.
28 The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen; of all the host of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea, not one of them remained.
29 But the people of Israel walked on dry ground through the sea, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
God let them Go the long way.
17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near. For God said, “Lest the people change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt.”
Same God back then is the same God now.
Tell the story of the Pillar of Cloud by Day and by night. This is the same pillar that of fire the burning bush that moses saw that was the manifestation of the presence of God in Exodus 3.
We got to go get them!
5 When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the mind of Pharaoh and his servants was changed toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”
We’re Trapped — the middle of the story!
10 When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they feared greatly. And the people of Israel cried out to the Lord.
11 They said to Moses, “Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us in bringing us out of Egypt?
12 Is not this what we said to you in Egypt: ‘Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”
13 And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again.
14 The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”
Point: God saves people who know they’ve come to the end of their ability. Salvation is by grace.

God got in the middle of these two nations.
Pharoah trusted in his chariots but the Lord came between them.
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gotten glory over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
19 Then the angel of God who was going before the host of Israel moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them,
20 coming between the host of Egypt and the host of Israel. And there was the cloud and the darkness. And it lit up the night without one coming near the other all night.
They saw his power and they feared the Lord.
31 Israel saw the great power that the Lord used against the Egyptians, so the people feared the Lord, and they believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses.
This magnificent story to apply it tour lives isn’t about our personal liberation from all the bad things that happen in our life. The story is not about how the Lord will blast your enemies. All though he will.
This story gives us the playbook, the pattern if you will, as to how God wil act later on in the bible to save you and I. He gives you Jesus playbook.
Our biggest enemy is Satan and the penalty of sin that we are trapped in. In bondage. Jesus the living manifestation of the pillar of cloud by day and night, doesn’t just lead us to through the deep waters, but he carris us in his body. He is crucified on our behalf, buried with him we are, and we rise to new life we cross over.

the main difference between the Old Exodus and the New One is that the The Pathway to a greater life is still open!
