Easter in Exodus

In this sermon, we walk the seven-mile road to Emmaus alongside two disciples who are wandering away from Jerusalem—and away from their devotion. Like many of us today, they were fueled by confusion, cynicism, and the weight of unmet expectations. They were walking with the risen Christ, yet their eyes were kept from recognizing Him until He opened the Scriptures to show them a much larger story.We dive into the "Easter Eggs" hidden within the Book of Exodus—3,500-year-old shadows and symbols that point directly to the person and work of Jesus Christ. From the burning bush to the parting of the sea, we see that the story of the Resurrection didn't start at the tomb; it was written into the fabric of history long before the first century.Key HighlightsThe Divine Name: Discovering why Jesus’ claim of "I AM" in the Gospels was a direct echo of the burning bush in Exodus 3.The Passover Lamb: Understanding how the "First Supper" in Egypt explains the "Last Supper" in Jerusalem.The Tree of Life: How God took a tree to turn bitter water sweet in the wilderness, prefiguring how the Cross transforms our bitterest sufferings.The Greater Joshua: Seeing Jesus as the ultimate warrior who defeats our greatest enemies: Satan, sin, and death.ConclusionThe sermon concludes with a call to stop stepping over the "Easter Eggs" in our own lives—those moments of divine intervention we often write off as coincidence. Whether you are currently drifting away from your faith or feeling "storm-tossed" by life’s circumstances, this message serves as a reminder that God has a plan for your suffering and an anchor for your soul.It is time to stop walking away from devotion and start turning back toward the one who has won the victory on our behalf.Call to ActionReflect: Look back at your own story.
