Bible Reading: JAN18: Exodus 1-4

We now begin the story of Moses. There is no
reason to doubt that he wrote the Book of Exodus. The
unity of the book shows there was only one author; and
the eyewitness accounts indicate that the author was
present. Christ affirmed the Mosaic authorship of the
book in John 5:46,47 and 7:19.

“Exodus” means “the way out” in the Greek
language. This book describes Israel’s bondage in Egypt
and the wonderful way out God gave them.

The key word in Exodus is “redemption,” since
“to redeem” means “to set free.” The entire book is
filled with pictures of our salvation through Christ.

While Genesis is the book of beginnings, Exodus
is the book of redemption. In chapter 1 we see the
persecution of God’s people. We also see a new
generation, a new king, and a new strategy! The king’s
plan to kill all the male babies would have met with
great success if God had not intervened. God uses the
weak things of this world to defeat the mighty! He used
the midwives to confound the king, just as He later used
a baby’s cry to reach the heart of Pharaoh’s daughter.

The story of Moses should be an encouragement to
every believer. No matter how weak you are, no matter
how small your talent, God can use you, if you are
willing to commit your life to Him and allow Him to work
through you. Truly the song writer was correct when he
wrote, “Little is much when God is in it.”
