The
children of Israel had been delivered from the Egyptians, from slavery,
from chains and from their histroy and past forever. And yet, even though they had
been delivered by a Mighty Hand, and I do mean by a mighty all powerful
Hand, still the things of there past, both creatures and situations took
flight and were chasing after them..As they pursued them, and as all this
came to the mind and to the sight of the redeemed of Israel, all this
tormented Israel saying mercilessly REMEMBER ME, REMEMBER ME, I'm coming
back into your life, to haunt you and bring you back into MY BONDAGE ....
These creatures and the things of their past were chasing after them. The sight and the thought of them and those memories terrified the redeemed, the people God delivered.....But let us look how God handled both their fears, and their past, and the enemies of their past....In Exodus 14:13-14) we find out how....."And Moses said to the people, Do not be afraid, Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you this day. For the Egyptians who you see today, you will see no more. 14) The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace". Hold your peace means to worry not, to fret not ......
Friends all this was, in a mystery, a foreshadow of The Cross of Christ and His resurrection that was to come. The salvation, the deliverance, and our eternal redemption that we have in Christ is seen clearly in shadow forms all thru the events of Israels deliverance and salvation from Pharaoh, from their slavery to his powers, and from Egypt's laws, and rule over them, and their past with all it's shameful history.....
Pharaoh represented Satan, Moses represented Christ, and the wooden Staff the Cross and Gods Power in the Cross. The Red Sea the blood of Christ and God parting the Red Sea was God saving us and doing for us what was IMPOSSIBLE for us to do for ourselves..All they had to do was trust in, rely on, and believe so much as to enter into and walk in by faith trusting in the So Great A Salvation That God Had Fully Provided For Them thru the Red Sea (Christ Redeeming Blood).
When they crossed over to the other side thru the blood (The Res Sea) they physically went thru what we go thru spiritually as revealed in John 5:24, they passed from death unto life, from law into liberty, from bondage to freedom. Colossians 1:12-13) God delivered them from the power of darkness and translated them into the kingdom of His dear Son. They went out from slavery under the bondage of the Laws of Egypt into a glorious liberty by Grace. Their deliverance and their salvation was the workmanship of God and not of their own doings. He did all the hard labor, they just had to follow His Lead.....So it is for us with Christ.
And also, As God took care of the children of Israels past, of their history, of their past bondage's, of their past enemies powers and laws and rule and dominion over them, even so Christ thru the blood of His Cross, he has don FOR US the same thing. He has abundantly pardoned us....From the Cross, Christ says to us," thru this I am taking care of all your past and future, for thru the blood of My Cross I am obtaining for you deliverance from all your past sins, past history.....And I am obtaining for you MYSELF thru the blood of MY CROSS eternal redemption and so great a salvation. The laws that used to condemn you, and hold you in slavery to sin and all the history and sins of your past and all the enemies of your past this day thru the blood of My Cross I am saving and delivering you from forever.
With this in mind, lets now read Exodus 24:13-14) in an updated form for the purpose, to get the point that God is teaching us from it......"So do not be afraid of your past life style, past history, past sins, and of the enemies of your past. Stand still (means believe, rest in faiths assurance that I am and have done this) and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish FOR YOU this day. For Satan and sins, and your past history in all those different kinds of sins and their power and dominion over you shall be NO MORE FOREVER....Jesus.
We are to believe this just as the children of Israel were to believe the good news that Moses preached to them when he preached Exodus 14:13-14)....Believe this and Be Believing. For whom the Son has set free is free indeed....Your totally washed and freed from all your past sins and history no matter how degrading or how sinful it was. Worry not. Fret Not and enjoy the love God has for you in the salvation of the Lord. Stand Still. Be at Peace. God has redeemed you with His own precious blood. Have faith in God.
This is just a portion of HOW REDEEMING POWERFUL the Cross of Christ, His shed blood, and His death and His resurrection is. We need not worry about our past, or our past sins, or our past history no matter how ugly, and terrible, and shameful it was,.....This is a Word of His love and grace to this generation with the hope that we will repent and turn to God by faith in Jesus Christ so that all this goodness that Jesus wants to do for us can come upon us this day and forevermore......deno,.......please share freely.
