Important to the Exodus story is the introduction and rise of Moses.
The book of Exodus provides for us the epic narrative of Yahweh's rescue of his people who were oppressed. While Moses is the protagonist and a central figure of the story, the Exodus story is the powerful reflection of a God who cares about, who listens to, who rescues and who leads his people. Our journey through Exodus will help us to see that God not only directs his people toward the right way, but reveals to his people that He is the way. Specifically, He is the way out! The book of Exodus employs rich storytelling and vivid imagery to describe the plight of the Israelites and the power and majesty of Yahweh's abiding presence. As we reread this grand story, let's pray that we will be reminded that the only remedy to our ill-fated captivity to sin, systems or circumstances is Yahweh (The LORD). He is "the way out"!
