Daily Lesson for Sabbath 2nd of August 2025

Read for This Week’s Study: Exodus 12:31-36, James 2:17-20, Exodus 13:1-22; Exodus 14:1-31, Hebrews 11:22, Exodus 15:1-21, Revelation 15:2-4.

Memory Text:

“And Moses said to the people, ‘Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will ac­complish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace’ ” (Exodus 14:13-14, NKJV).

The Exodus is the most dramatic and glorious experience of God’s people in the Old Testament. This event is the divine model of how God defeated the Hebrews’ enemies and brought the Israelites victoriously into the Promised Land. It’s also a symbol of salvation and redemption in Christ.

From a human standpoint, the children of Israel were in a desperate, even impossible, situation—one that they, in and of themselves, could not save themselves from. If they were to be delivered, it would have to be by a divine act. It’s the same with us and sin: in and of ourselves, we are in a hopeless situation. We need something even more dramatic than the Exodus. And we’ve got it: the cross of Christ and what Christ did there for us all.

The events of Israel’s departure from the land of Goshen, mentioned in Exodus 12:1-51—until the song of Moses, joyously sung in Exodus 15:1-27—are breathtaking and incredible. God’s signs, wonders, and miraculous redeeming works are at their peak.

But even these do not compare to what Christ did for us at the cross, of which the drama of the Exodus was a mere foreshadowing.
