Hello friends. It is shown here and it is great
0:16
to have your company. I hope you're doing well on this
0:19
Monday. The 15th of May me, thanks for
0:25
asking. I'm going really well, really
0:27
well, life is good and we are In the thick of its.
0:31
If you remember the readings from last week, we have a just
0:35
been through the trauma of all of those plagues.
0:39
And now God's people have left Egypt and adjust walking into
0:44
the desert. And things are about to get very
0:47
interesting for them. In the desert, as we see, all
0:50
sorts of things having to detour around enemies deal with an
0:54
army, chasing them, and then work out.
0:56
What on Earth are they going to do not to die in the Middle of
1:00
the desert. Where do they get their food?
1:02
So this week we have got so much so much to cover as we see how
1:06
God accompanies his people out of bondage toward all that.
1:11
He's promised them. So without any further delay,
1:15
join me friends, as we continue the story reading together,
1:18
Exodus chapter 13, Then the Lord said to Moses
1:34
dedicate to me every firstborn among the Israelites.
1:38
The first Offspring to be born of both humans and animals
1:42
belongs to me. So Moses said to the people,
1:46
this is a day to remember forever.
1:48
The day you left Egypt, a place of your Slavery today, the Lord
1:54
has brought you out by the power of his mighty hand.
1:58
Remember, eat? No food.
1:59
Containing yeast on this day, in early spring, in the month of
2:05
abib, you have been set free. You must celebrate this event in
2:11
this month each year, after the Lord brings you into the land of
2:15
the Canaanites, Hittites amorites, hivites, and
2:18
jebusites. He swore to your ancestors, that
2:22
he would give you this land, a land flowing with milk and
2:25
honey. For seven days, the bread you
2:28
eat must be made without yeast. Then on the seventh day,
2:33
celebrate a feast to the Lord eat bread without yeast during
2:37
those seven days. In fact, there must be no yeast
2:41
bread or any yeast at all, found within the borders of your land.
2:45
During this time, On the seventh day, you must explain to your
2:50
children. I'm celebrating what the Lord
2:53
did for me. When I left Egypt, this Annual
2:56
Festival will be a visible sign to you, like a mark branded on
3:01
your hand or your forehead. Let it remind you always to
3:05
recite this teaching of the Lord, with a strong hand, the
3:09
Lord rescued, you from Egypt. So observe the decree of this
3:14
festival at the appointed time each year.
3:17
This is what you must do, when the Lord fulfills the promise,
3:21
he swore to you and your ancestors.
3:24
When he gives you the land where the Canaanites now live.
3:27
You must present all firstborn sons and firstborn male animals
3:32
to the Lord for they belong to him.
3:35
The firstborn donkey may be brought back from the Lord by
3:38
presenting a lamb or young goat in its place.
3:42
But if you do not buy it back you must break its neck.
3:46
However you must By back every firstborn son and in the future
3:52
your children will ask you, what does all this mean?
3:55
Then you will tell them with the power of his mighty hand.
3:59
The Lord brought us out of Egypt, the place of our slavery.
4:05
Pharaoh stubbornly, refuse to let us go.
4:08
So the Lord killed all the firstborn males throughout the
4:11
land of Egypt, both people and animals.
4:14
That is why I now sacrifice all the firstborn born males to the
4:18
Lord, except that, the firstborn sons are always bought back, the
4:23
ceremony will be like a mark branded on your hand or your
4:26
forehead. It is a reminder that the power
4:30
of the Lord's Mighty hand brought us out of Egypt.
4:36
When Pharaoh finally, let the people go, God, did not lead
4:40
them through the main road that runs through Philistine
4:42
territory, even though that was the shortest route to the
4:45
promised land. God said, if the people are
4:49
faced with a battle, they might change their minds and return to
4:53
Egypt. So God, LED them in a roundabout
4:57
way through. The Wilderness toward the Red
4:59
Sea. Thus, the Israelites left Egypt,
5:03
like an army. Ready for battle.
5:07
Moses took the bones of Joseph with him.
5:09
For Joseph had made the sons of Israel swear to do this.
5:13
He said, God will certainly come to help you when he does.
5:19
You must take my bones with you from this place.
5:24
The Israelites left succoth, and camped, at Ethan, on the edge of
5:28
the Wilderness. The Lord went ahead of them, he
5:31
guided them during the day with a pillar of cloud and he
5:35
provided light at night, with a pillar of fire, this allowed
5:39
them to travel by day, or by night and the Lord did not
5:43
remove the pillar of cloud or Pillar of Fire from its place in
5:47
front of the people. I Lord that we would have a
6:01
pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of Fire by Night leading
6:06
us exactly where you want us to go.
6:09
Thank you for this beautiful image of.
6:11
You leading your people through this unknown territory in this
6:17
dangerous time was so much at stake.
6:20
There you are with your people. And here you are with me with
6:24
each one of us each day. Taking each step of our days
6:30
with us so that we are never alone.
6:34
We are never forsaken, we never have to face the challenges of
6:37
the day without you our divine companion and help ever-present
6:43
in times of trouble, So Jesus we remember that you're here with
6:50
us now we remember that the father guides us.
6:55
That your Holy Spirit. Empowers us and that you have
6:58
saved us. And we are so grateful.
7:02
We love you and we worship you all this.
7:06
We pray in your name, Jesus. Amen.
