A Survey of Exodus:"Who is the Lord?"

This sermon provides a comprehensive overview of the book of Exodus, answering the central question of who the Lord is through six distinct attributes revealed in the narrative. It begins by establishing God's sovereignty over history and all rival powers, emphasizing that His rule is the foundation for human security. The message then highlights God's goodness and covenant faithfulness, illustrating how He hears, sees, and takes to heart the suffering of His people, a truth ultimately fulfilled in the sympathetic intercession of Jesus Christ. The preacher explains that God's actions, including the plagues, are primarily intended to reveal His glory and make His name known, rather than merely to secure Israel's freedom. This leads to the exposition of salvation through the Passover lamb, which points to the particular and effectual work of Christ's blood, and the attribute of God being slow to anger, which allows for endless mercy. Finally, the sermon concludes that the ultimate purpose of redemption is for God to dwell with His people, a promise fulfilled in the incarnation and anticipated in the eternal communion of Revelation.
