The Completed Exodus

Escaping from Egypt is only the first half of the exodus. There is the freedom from: from oppression, and from the power of sin. This aspect of liberation, as wonderful as it is, is only half the deal. In the Scriptures, more emphasis is placed on the freedom for: for worship, for flourishing, for growth in obedience, joy and glory. Human beings are not designed to be free from all constraint. Everybody serves somebody. So, the point of the exodus is not just for Israel to find deliverance from serving the old master. It is for them to find delight in serving the new one.
