The book of Exodus tells us the history of the Israelites, from their captivity in Egypt to their journey through the Red Sea and their time in the Sinai Desert. But it tells us more than Israel’s history. It tells us about God and his work to provide for his people. The story of Israel’s exodus from Egypt foreshadows our future promised in Christ. The story moves from slavery to emancipation to redemption and reconstruction.
