Subject: The Exodus's importance to Hebrews? |
Bible Note: In many, many different ways, the OT provides numerous examples as "foreshadows" of the Lord's church. With this example, the Lord is casting Moses as a foreshadow of His Son. Jesus rescues us, God's children from sin just as Moses did for the Israelite nation. Moses had his trials and weaknesses but he is considered a mighty tower of faith to most, just like our Lord and Savior. Jesus performed miracles and was completely consumed with compassion, much like his predecessor in Moses. Moses even tangled with God and literally saved the Israelite nation from God's wrath with his "negotiations." In the same way, Jesus negotiates a plan of redemption with the devil, taking our place on the cross for our sins so we don't have to. Yes, there's many other wonderful examples or foreshadows from which we can learn from God's Old Testament. Excellent question and God bless. |
