Exodus is a most thrilling story. The story of God who saves people who can't save themselves. It all begins in darkness, the evil darkness of slavery and death. The people of God experience true sorrow with no immediate explanation to why God allows this. However a light shines in the darkness. God sends grace through the birth of Moses. It is Moses who despite his able leadership points us to the greater Moses. One day a baby would be born who would be the ultimate light in darkness- Jesus Christ, born in Bethlehem, who gave his life on the cross. He took on the darkness of our sin, so we might live. He rescues us from the slavery of sin.
