Possibility and Promise
In the book of Exodus, the Israelites move out from slavery in Egypt and into a wilderness wandering. There is a land of promise waiting for the people of God, but in the passages covered in this study, the Israelites are still living in the in-between. They are no longer enslaved. They are not yet independent. As we read together over the next thirteen weeks, notice how Exodus is a text of suffering. Notice how Exodus is a text of almost and not yet. Notice how Exodus is a text of possibility and promise.
