More on this later in the program but now let's get started with today's teaching here is Alan Wright they would have to have some means of being able to not only receive a power from on high, but for all of this to be communicated. They would need a mediator because there was no point of connection between the royal court of Egypt and the slave people. There was no airing of grievances. There was no opportunity for discussion. There was no one to go in between them, because who could you get to go in between the Egyptian royalty in the Hebrew slaves you have to find somebody who was in a sense both Egyptian royalty and Hebrew slave where you going to find that answer. Moses.

Moses was one of those babies that was born that according to the edict of Pharaoh supposed to be drowned in the Nile but Moses mother instead put them into a little basket and floated them out to the Nile and under the providence of God. What happened was it Moses floated up on the shore and Pharaoh's daughter discovered the little basket heard the baby crying and eventually adopted this baby as as her own. So Moses was a Hebrew boy but he was raised in the Egyptian court's recent movies.

It would artistically describe it is realistic. Moses could have been like a brother to the Prince of Egypt could have been like a son to Pharaoh, a grandson to Pharaoh and and not only familiar with the Egyptian court but was one of them. So here's Moses he's one of them and he's one of the Bruce very kind of person that God would need would identify with the pain and the suffering and the weakness of the Hebrew slaves and yet we have the audacity and the entryway into the very chamber of Pharaoh himself. God brought Moses into this place of leadership because in order to be liberated. They not only needed God's power. They needed a mediator one through whom God could communicate to the people and identify with the people and yet who would be identified with the Royal aristocracy and so this mediator Moses is raised up in the thing that's important is will be seeing all throughout her study of Moses is that Moses is a covenant maker gets a covenant from God and he is a mediator who relates between God and the people and Moses has more faith than the people have. He gets a word from God, and he speaks it to the people and he believes that it's possible. And even when the people can't believe they just look to Moses and if Moses holds up his staff in the Red Sea part then faith comes into their hearts, and so through this mediator, Moses, God issues a series of plagues against Egypt, and eventually after the last plague, which is the death of the firstborn's of the Egyptians who finally reap what they have sown, and even Pharaoh's own household stricken with grief then Pharaoh says to the people go and all of these hundreds of thousands of Hebrew people exit exit this out of Egypt and they are on their way to the promised land as they leave, they are not only set free, but God instructed them and so they did.

They plunder the Egyptians on their way, is just kind of a comical part of this there walking out and there. The Egyptians are so ready for him to leave that their sake I have a gold necklace here take it leave and they fill up their pockets now because God is demonstrated in them. I don't want you to just be former slaves who are now free. I want you to know that your heirs of a promise.

So they're on their way to a promised land and inheritance right so you get the picture of this, the people of God were under bondage to evil tyrant couldn't escape without other power needed a mediator come out by the blood of the innocent land that was painted over their doorpost at Passover set free and they're on their way to a land of promise because they have been made years. The slaves have become heirs. This is the story of the Exodus and then they find themselves there in front of this Red Sea and Pharaoh has changed his mind is coming after them to either capture them or slaughter them, and they find themselves in this enormous predicament, and if at this point that the Lord instructs Moses exactly what's going to happen. And as the is. That is, though, is the word of God comes true.

What happens is that this huge obstacle that's in front of them. The Red Sea opens up and becomes the very passageway to the promised land. It becomes the very means by which they move on. The thing that looked like it was the worst thing that ever happened to them. This Red Sea obstacle becomes the best thing that could ever happen to them. And furthermore, once they get to the other side that Red Sea closes up on their enemies. So God takes the thing that they thought was their doom and instead reverses it all and it becomes their liberation into their inheritance and becomes the doom of the enemy. That's the story. And that's our story because what it what it means to be born as a human being into this world according the Bible is that you you are not just born neutral.

It's more like you been born like one of the Hebrew children were born in Egypt, there is a tyranny of evil that is going on in the spirit realm in your born into sin.

Some people are living better lives than others are more good than other people, but there's no scale with this.

There is just a condition that were born into sin is not one single person.

Not one single person other than Jesus himself is ever coming to live a fully righteous life you can't talk to somebody it's my sister well I just believe I go to heaven because good people go to heaven with if you really wanted.

If they wanted to talk to about it. The point of conversation would be, will are you good will yes will so let's talk about what good is is it is it is it good to lie. No have you ever told a lie even a little white lie. Well yes okay so you're not good to this this is that this is the predicament were born into this, the picture of what happens were born into sin and we are in a very real sense, therefore, in the in the land of sin and we are under the tyranny of sin, and unless something beyond us happens less there is God, we have no way out of this and the sins that you stumble in the things that hold you back. All of the shame in your life. All of this is like a tyranny and you have an accuser of your soul. You have a great enemy in this spiritual high places.

The Bible calls statement means accuser and there's a spiritual battle that is going on and until you have the liberating power of God through Jesus Christ, your under that I is what is happened is that the the true Lamb of God, the true Passover lamb. Jesus Christ came, he was sinless.

He is perfect as the son of God. And when he shed his blood. That's what the old Passover lambs and Exodus story were pointing to. And his blood was shed once and for all, so that anyone who would receive Christ and his saving work by faith you have appropriated the blood of the Passover lamb and why does this make you free. Here's why it makes you free and why is so powerful is the Bible says that Jesus who knew no sin became sin. He became your sin so that you would be reckoned or imputed or given our God would look upon you as if you had the righteousness of Jesus. So a great exchange takes place in which Jesus becomes your sin and you become his righteousness.

Why is this so liberating.

The reason this is so liberating is that the hell of life is the voice of the accuser and the shame, but as always, thank you you you you failed again and you're going to be held back by this and you need to live in fear of this.

You either need to just rebel against it all or you need to just be perfect in all this does is produce a life of angst when you see God in Jesus Christ has forgiven you. What happens is the weight of the world lives off of you. You are set free from the penalty of sin, and you are guaranteed by the deposit of the Holy Spirit who comes into your heart that you're going to live forever with God when you know that you know that you know you go live forever with God that what this does is it makes even the fear of death begin to lift off of you. So the things that used to enslave you don't have power over you anymore. So Paul said to the Romans said sale no longer be your master. You're not just an old sinner saved by grace. You are a saint who is been set apart under God and made holy under God and declared to be an heir. Indeed, a co-heir with Jesus Christ himself and moving constantly towards a place of ever increasing fulfillment of the promises right will have more teaching moment from today's important series like something is holding you back as if you lack an important scene that could change everything.

Today's teaching now continues your once again is writing so the mediator came who was God and man. And when our hearts are troubled. They want to do about this red see the invitation becomes look to your mediator, you're not gonna part this red see it's going to come through the mediator's gonna come through one who has far more faith than you. It's all come to one is perfect faith succumb through one who has perfect love succumb through one who fully understands everything about being God because he is God and fully understands you, because he is also fully human. This is the way that is going to come to pass. So the people move forward with the direction in their life and that is through a passageway to a promised land, not an invitation, not a promise of an easy life because the promised land itself is good have many battles is going to be a battleground but is going to be a place were not only are you no longer enslave but your living out a destiny filled with rich purpose with a confidence that your reigning with Christ in a spiritual value in the story where there are so many powerful, beautiful, prophetic end wondrous pearls of just treasured encouragement when I give you three of them to think about in these things we want to be reinforcing as we bless every family, every individual next weekend and I first is to say at the proper time breakthrough will come. The old adage is true.

Sometimes it is darkest before dawn, the meaning that sometimes it feels like things got worse before they get better and spiritually. This often plays out.

If you if you happen to be in that kind of place. We are facing more difficulties in every view you very well may be on the edge of the biggest big breakthrough.

Your government does the image want to keep in front of the people got write them a visit which it is, what can we do that in Egypt had been more comfortable to just either they didn't realize they were getting to experience the biggest miracle he ever experienced patent said to his troops. He said however, tired, hungry, you may be the enemy will be more tired, more hungry keypunch their spiritual dynamic goes on that so often the very time you feel like giving up. You got understand that you are in your process of resisting the devil. There's a time the Bible promise he will flee from you knowing about the proper time. Johnson open on the ritzy hype. I happen to think a lot of us are to have her eyes open to see something we never seen before.

One of the verbs. It keeps recurring. In that text. Moses says just stand still see the Lord will accomplish. The Egyptians you see now, you will see again.

No more forever. We go see. I believe that you're going to build a C the work of God W a C God do miracles the right time, breakthrough, also to take away from this is his incredible good news that red sees do not part by fleshly effort or human merit, but by God's grace. It wasn't just grace that delivered them out of slavery was also grace.

It took a minute promise, sometimes as Christians we think on saved by grace but becoming a more holy person become a more more obedient person becoming more victorious Christian that's going to be all about what II my efforts.

Note both your justification and your sanctification are fueled by the gift of God in Jesus Christ. God does have battles forced to fight. He wants us to grow wants us to increase. He wants us to build a move on is going to have us move on got things for you to do doesn't want us to stay where we were snug and it is done is not content for you just to stay stuck in the same old patterns.

Everything we want you to grow. How do we grow how do we move forward we move forward.

By the grace of God. Notice this about the story of Moses new law has been given no Mount Sinai, 10 Commandments, no instructions been given only the grace of God the grace of God comes before there's ever the instructions of God. People will be exhorted to be told how there to live, but this much is clear both their salvation by the blood of the Lamb and their liberation to the promised land comes by God's grace drink in his grace daily. And thirdly, it is very beautiful thing to me, this story speaks to me is that the past is past and therefore does not define you or limit these slave masters were swallowed up by the sea. Send the shame, the regrets in your past will be remembered no more. Micah 719 says God cast all our sin into the depths of the sea. He doesn't remember it and God not only wants for you to know that you have been set free and that you are no longer condemned by former sin, but he wants you to know the words of Jesus the son sets you free, you shall be free indeed. Not only free in the sense of objectively okay. I know that I'm free but to know that you are free in other words, to not be looking over your shoulder at the Egyptians taunts for all of the accusers voice to be silenced. There is a way that we move forward not with a trouble-free life but we can move forward with a shame free life. We can move forward. Not being guided by yesterday's mistakes yesterday is over, and today is Marvel of God's grace is that God took this huge obstacle that looked like that'll be the end of me and instead used it to be the end of the shame and condemnation. Picture this, the people of God with a big obstacle in front and up Army breathing down on what they feel they felt condemned were condemned to die, but they were condemned to die because that Red Sea was going to not only take them into the promise it was going to swallow up the accuser. The cross of Jesus Christ was the place were not only will you became forgiven and reckoned as the righteousness of Christ. But the Bible says that Jesus made a public spectacle in the heavenly's of all the enemies forces the ammunition was taken out and evil was swallowed up in death was defeated so you and I do not need to be afraid standstill. See the salvation of the Lord, which he will accomplish his Egyptians you see now, you will see again. No more forever. The Lord will fight for you and you hold your peace that the gospel Allen right antedating God still parts ritzy blessing your life.
