I Will Give You Rest
Exodus 31:12-40:38. "You're doing too much." "Stay in your lane." These are common ways of expressing to someone that they're being restless. And the reality is that for every one of us, our souls are naturally restless. Augustine once said, “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you." And what we see at the close of our series on Exodus is that God is the only true rest for our souls.
From Series: "Exodus: God's Chosen People"
“The exodus is central to the Scriptures, central to the gospel, and central to the Christian life. Whatever book of the Bible you are reading, and whichever Christian practices you are involved in, echoes of the exodus are in there somewhere.” Exodus is an identity-forming book. It teaches us first who God is and secondly who we should be in relation to him. And our hope is that in the chaos of this world, God’s Word from Exodus would be an anchor for us as God’s people.
