God Becomes Man, Lesson 7: Creation of a New Kingdom

Series Overview

On Wednesday nights throughout the next nine months, we will be walking our way through the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, learning the story of salvation, especially how everything points to and is fulfilled by Jesus.

Lesson 7: Creation of a New Kingdom
Lesson Overview

The major focus of this lesson is on how the Exodus of Israel from Egypt recapitulates major elements of the creation story, and how the biblical narrative explicitly identifies Israel’s redemption as an act of new creation every bit as miraculous as the first creation. All of this makes it abundantly clear that God, and God alone, is the author and finisher of redemption just as much as he is of creation. The only difference is symbolized by the Passover, a poignant symbol that a substitutionary sacrifice is now needed to spare God’s people from the fate common to all: death. This concrete historical action forms the grounds of Israel’s national identity as a nation set apart by God to be the locus of his saving activity for the human race, the fulfillment of his promise to Abraham to bless the nations through him.
