Whether it\u2019s the shadow of a mistake you can\u2019t outrun or a crisis you can\u2019t outsmart, we all reach a point where we realize that if God doesn&#8217;t move, we aren&#8217;t going to make it.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the good news: the Exodus wasn\u2019t just a miracle for the Israelites; it\u2019s a map for us. It\u2019s a pattern of how God rescues His people. If we want to understand how God saves today, we have to look to the one that this story points to\u2026<\/p>\n<p>In Exodus 14, Moses recorded how the LORD displayed His saving power by delivering His people through the sea, defeating their Egyptian enemies, and proving that He alone is the Redeemer who saves His covenant people. We can see how this story points to Christ as the Redeemer who saves His people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14022,"template":"","tags":[2989],"series":[2988],"scripture-book":[1269],"scripture-chapter":[1347],"speaker":[2007],"class_list":["post-14021","message","type-message","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-exodus","series-the-story","scripture-book-exodus","scripture-chapter-1347","speaker-gary-combs"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/message\/14021","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/message"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/message"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/message\/14021\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14023,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/message\/14021\/revisions\/14023"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14021"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=14021"},{"taxonomy":"scripture-book","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/scripture-book?post=14021"},{"taxonomy":"scripture-chapter","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/scripture-chapter?post=14021"},{"taxonomy":"speaker","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/speaker?post=14021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
