Okay, i’m starting to fall a bit behind, but we’re continuing forward… this chapter talks a bit about the story of Moses, the early figurehead of deliverance, since he was the leader of the Israelites as they were led out of Egypt…

the point is made that Moses was prepared to be the leader of this deliverance, because he himself had been delivered… and in fact a pattern of deliverance had been established in his life from a very early age… i’m not entirely certain that i agree with the spotlighted quote here, “A great leader can’t lead where he hasn’t been led before”… but i’m sure it’s simply meant to tie into the experience piece of last chapter…

It’s funny how we always end up needing to be delivered though, isn’t it? for all our advancements, and for all our attempts to control the world around us - even to the point of assuming the role of global deliverer - we can’t avoid the realization that we’re oppressed in our own way and that we need the Messiah…

the greatest revelation of the grace and glory of God is the redemption and deliverance of us sinners…

peace… love… bdg…
