And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today. Exodus 14:13a
Israel was in a hopeless situation, it seemed.
The chariots of the Egyptian army were in pursuit and closing fast.
The Red Sea stood before them.
Moses said three things.
Fear not.
Stand firm.
See the salvation of the LORD.
Salvation.
Deliverance.
Rescue.
But hardly ever by a human deliverer.
It is the Hebrew word, yeshua.
You may have seen it before.
Or perhaps the Greek translation
Jesus.
He would accomplish an even greater deliverance.
Than from a hostile army,
But from an eternal death sentence we brought upon ourselves.
Follow Moses’s instruction.
Don’t be afraid.
Stand firm.
See the salvation of the LORD.
See Jesus Christ!
