Outer Aim

God saved his people from death and delivered them from Egypt.

Inner Aim

Jesus, our Passover Lamb, was sacrificed for us.

Passages

John 1:29 – Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

1 Peter 1:19 – You were redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

1 Corinthians 5:7 – Christ our Passover Lamb is sacrificed for us.

1 Peter 1:18-19 – Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”

1 Corinthians 11:24-25 – Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.

Outer Aim- God’s people suffered under Pharaoh and the cruel taskmasters of Egypt

Inner Aim- God strengthens His people to do His will and wait with confidence and faith for their deliverance.

Application

Because we live in a sinful world, God’s people may suffer under cruel and Godless people. We may have nochoice but to bear the burdens placed upon us. As we pray to our gracious God we can rest assured that He willdeliver us in His own way and time. (Cf. II Tim. 3:10,11) However, regardless of our circumstances we mustalways obey God rather than man no matter how that will affect us. The Hebrew midwives would not kill themale babies that were born. They were constrained to obey God rather than man.

God saw the mistreatment of His people and planned their deliverance. Notice how God works within thecircumstances that exist. In spite of the Egyptian government, God moves people to do what is right. He entersinto the very palaces of the Egyptian government to raise up a leader for His people.

As the Lord chastened or disciplined Joseph’s brothers, so the Lord also chastens or disciplines us because of His love, forgiveness, and long suffering of our God toward us. The Lord disciplines us because he Loves us.
