Dear friends, I would like to add a few words to what our friend Lisa has said abt Moses .
God's primary motive in liberating the Israelities from the bondages of Egypt was to establish a covenant with them by which He will be their God and they would be His people. And we find all the fulfilment of Exodus Event (journey of the Israelites from Egypt to the promise land, the Land of Cannan) in the life of Jesus and the Church which is the new Israel. Jesus is the new Moses, the true Liberator, Saviour and the Architect and Mediator of the New Covenant. He ratified this new covenant by outpouring his own blood and established eternal relation between God and men. He gave the commandment of love not only to Israel, but also the the whole world. The last plague in Egypt was the death of the first-born. Jesus is the first born whose death saved the life of many. In Egypt, before Passover people killed the Pascal lamb, ate its flesh and sprinkled its blood on the door steps. Jesus is the new Pascal Lamp whose flesh and blood constitutes the life giving banquet, whose sacrifice gives new life to all. During the journey through desert, the Lord gave His people manna from heaven and water from the rock. Jesus is the new manna, the living bread that came down from heaven. Those who ate manna dies, but those who eat from Jesu's flesh and live forever. Jesus is the new rock, the source of living water that quenches the thirst of man. Exodus event has great relevance in today's world. The LORD is the God of liberation, who liberates us from all bondages � spiritual, material, social and political. Salvation is completed only when man is liberated in all these spheres.
