You are not your own anchor – Jesus Christ is. So you can grow and live more deeply anchored in Him. You have been set free to grow in ‘doing’, without the burden of ‘earning’, because your high priest has gone before you and opened a way for you to enter behind the curtain.
The gospel strips us of any delusions that we can be good enough to deserve anything but judgment, but in Jesus, we have a high priest whose offering on our behalf has already been accepted by God.
The active and slicing word of God lays us bare and exposes the sin that separates us from our Holy God, but we have a faithful high priest who has bridged the gap for us. Our job is to cling to him in our time of need.
For the Christian, Jesus on the cross is the true exodus moment. In Christ, God has brought us safely through the waters of our sin and condemnation and onto redemption’s shore.
In and through your own suffering, you can trust the heart of God. For He is the God who stretched out his arms on the hardwood of the cross to die for you and me – all out of pure love.
When you are trying to navigate the barrage of information and misinformation in your life, fix your eyes on Jesus. For He is the radiance of the glory of God, your north star, your anchor, and the full revelation of God’s truth.
With His mighty hand and outstretched arm, God has made a way for us through the waters. Christ has brought us through the deep waters of the grave and delivered us into His new resurrection life.
When you are walking through a season of wilderness, remember that God leads you by His presence, revealed in His word and His world.
Follow along as R.D. glenn unpacks Exodus 13:17-22.
Israel looks back to the Exodus story as a reminder of God’s deliverance, but Christians now look back to the cross as the epicentre of God’s redemptive plan of deliverance for His whole creation.
To settle the score of our sin, God doesn’t take our firstborn sons, instead, He gives His own Son to be a ransom for us all.
