The central thought of Exodus is that Christ
is the redemption, salvation, and supply of God’s people and
the means for them to worship and serve God
so that in Him they may reach the goal of God’s full salvation—
the building up of His dwelling place.
Everyone who is called by God must realize that he is a redeemed thornbush
(a redeemed sinner who was under God’s curse) with a fire burning within him
and that this fire is the Triune God Himself, the God of resurrection.
God wants to change our diet to a diet
of Christ as the real manna sent by God the Father
for us to be reconstituted with Christ and to live because of Christ
in order to make us God’s dwelling place in the universe.
God brought the children of Israel out of Egypt
in order to make them a kingdom of priests—
a kingdom in which everyone would be a priest,
living solely for God’s interests
and serving Him in whatever they do.
