Notes From Today's Lesson (my version...feel free to disagree or correct me)
Why do people like super hero movies so much? Justice is served. Good guy always gets bad guy. We want a hero. John Eldridge says the reason we like the movies, etc. we like is because they speak to the truth we hold in our own lives. The struggle between good and evil.
"God Comes to the Rescue"
Exodus 6:1-9
God is promising Moses He has planned action.
God is reminding His people that He is their personal God. He is telling Hs people He is going to deliver them. He wants a relationship with them. God lose them because they are His people...not because they have been good, smart, etc.
Connection between OT and NT- John 3:16. In OT He is promising to rescue His people because He loves His people.
Exodus 12:5
Romans 6:23. God's judgement is universal. Everyone will be judged
God shows Himself over and over, but the comes a time that we have to CHOOSE Him. We have to make a choice. What are we going to do with Jesus? It's a free gift. To receive the gift, it has to be opened. We have to be ready to go.
While we may be taken out of slavery in an instant, it takes longer to get the slavery out of us. What we know is more comfortable than the unknown.
Exodus 14:13
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day:for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
We go back to what we are familiar with instead of choosing the freedom God has given us.
We are free to make our choices, but our choices do not set us free.
Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
You don't have to do anything. You just have to accept it.
