Summary

The Exodus is a foundational event in the life and story of Israel. The Passover commemorates it and the prophets recall it as the basis for how Israel should now live. How God’s people live for him is always based on how God has given them life. Yet, as foundational as it is, the Old Testament Exodus falls short. What is needed is a new Exodus, a better Exodus. This new Exodus is described by the Prophet Hosea, especially in Hosea 11, and from there it becomes a part of the Nativity story. This Sunday we’ll connect Hosea 11 with Matthew 2:13-15 to press a little deeper into the depths of God’s loving faithfulness revealed in Jesus.
