God Sees, Hears, knows and Comes Down: The Exodus and Our Deliverance

Have you ever wondered whether God really sees what you’re going through? In this message, we look at the Exodus story and discover a God whose heart is moved by the cries of His people — a God who sees, hears, knows, and comes down to deliver. This sermon is part of our Advent series, “The Long Road to Bethlehem,” where we trace the major turning points of God’s saving story — from Creation and the Fall to the Exodus, the Exile, the long silence before Christ, and finally the manger where God comes down once more. Each week uncovers another step on the road that leads to Jesus, our true Deliverer and Passover Lamb.This particular message explores Israel’s bondage in Egypt and the night of Passover, revealing a God who moves toward His people long before they know how to pray. We unpack what it means for God to see, hear, and know their suffering — and ours — not from a distance but with deep compassion. And we look at how the blood of the Passover lamb foreshadows the coming of Christ, whose own blood covers, protects, and frees His people today.Whether you’re familiar with these stories or encountering them for the first time, this message offers hope for anyone who has ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unseen. God is already moving long before we notice — and in Jesus, He has come down for us.Scripture references: Exodus 1–3, Exodus 12, John 1:29, 1 Corinthians 5:7Series: The Long Road to Bethlehem — Advent 2025Speaker: Pastor JohnLocation: Redeemer Lutheran Church, Salem, Oregonkeywords:Exodus sermonPassover sermonAdvent sermon 2025God sees meGod hears meGod knows my sufferingGod comes downDeliverance in the BiblePassover Lamb JesusChrist our PassoverMoses and the burning bushExodus and AdventHope in suffering ChristianBondage and deliveranceChristian encouragement in suffering
