Exodus 15: Israel Joins ☧'s Easter Song at Sabbath Waters

Rev. Benjamin Ball, pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Hamel, Illinois, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Exodus 15. “At the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up; the floods stood up in a heap; the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.” The people see the glory of Yahweh and immediately burst into song in Exodus 15. They sing as one voice, God’s firstborn rescued from Egypt. Yet the language signals something bigger here, the very defeat of universal evil and primordial chaos. Like Israel, our praises join the praise of Christ, the true firstborn rescued from death as He triumphed over pharaonic Satan. This Sabbath rest is already ours, and yet it also awaits us in the Canaan of the resurrection.
