The Cry for Freedom | Brittany Petkau

The first scene in Exodus is of the Israelites crying to God for freedom. Enslaved and ensnared in the oppressive culture of Egypt they find themselves utterly helpless, yearning for God to rescue them. The story of the Israelites is really the story of humanity, how we are all in bondage to our sin. Yet, as the Israelites cry out, so do we, and God, in His infinite mercy, answers our cries for freedom. This week we’ll explore the foreshadowing this does to the story of Jesus, and how God answers when we cry out to him.
