- The Exodus itself (approximately the first 18 chapters): The God who delivers
- The law given at Mount Sinai (chapters 19-24): The God who demands
- The Tabernacle described for building (25-31): The God who draws near
- The call of Abraham: God chooses his people
- The Exodus: God redeems his people
- Mount Sinai: God covenants with his people
- The law: God demands from his people
- The tabernacle: God dwells with his people
- God choose his people in Christ before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4)
- God redeemed his people through the precious blood of Christ, the gospel Passover (John 1:29, 1 Corinthians 5:7, etc.)
- God brings his people into the New Covenant of which Christ is mediator, high priest, and whose blood ratifies the covenant, etc. (1 Timothy 2:5, Hebrews 8-10, etc.)
- Christ is the New Covenant law-giver (Matthew 5-7), and the Spirit of Christ is the one who teaches his people the love which is the heart of the law (Romans 8:1-4, 13:8-10, etc.)
- Christ himself is the gospel tabernacle, the dwelling of God amongst us (John 1:14, 2:19-22, etc.)
Studying Exodus is thrilling!
