Passover

We often just skip over the Old Testament and wonder why it matters. This month we’ll explore how the theology of Exodus sets the stage for the miracle of Jesus.

I) God pursues us.

- God hears the cries of his people and works to set them free.

- God works in His timing. The people were in slavery over 430 years.

- Are you frustrated with God’s timing? God’s character never changes. He’s faithfully set his people free in the past and will for you as well. Ask for patience and focus on the stories of what He’s done.

II) Set Free

- Read Exodus chapters 1-12 at home this week. What imagery do you see the points to Jesus and our relationship with God?

- Seder is the meal designed to remember God’s faithfulness. It involves 4 cups:

o Cup of Sanctification: I will take you out of Egypt,
o Cup of Deliverance: I will take Egypt out of You.
o Cup of Redemption: I will buy you back from slavery,
o Cup of Joy: You will be my people.

III) Jesus Fulfills
- Jesus becomes each of these cups so that we could experience true relationship.
- What are places in your own life where you need to experience Sanctification, Deliverance, Redemption, and Joy?
