CHAPTER 3: Page 3

For the Jewish people, the Exodus is the defining moment when God delivers Israel from slavery with power and faithfulness. At Mount Sinai, he establishes his covenant and gives a clear command in Exodus chapter 20, verse 3. You shall have no other gods before me.

From that point on, Israel is called to exclusive loyalty to him.

Christians believe that God later carried out the greater rescue plan, sending his son Jesus Christ to free all of humanity from sin and death. Just as the Israelites were saved through the blood of the Passover Lamb, Christians believe Jesus is the Lamb of God, whose sacrifice brings eternal deliverance.

I’m gonna take a quick detour to the New Testament before diving back into the Old Testament timeline.

Christians see Jesus as the Lamb of God, whose sacrifice brings eternal deliverance. Some may ask, how can Jesus sacrifice himself to God?

Christians believe Jesus is God in the flesh who willingly gave his life and rose again, proving his power over death.

After the Egyptian sojourn, the Israelites entered the period of settlement in Canaan, which spanned roughly from 1200 to 1000 BCE. This era is captured in the biblical book of Judges, a time when Israel had no centralized king.

Instead, leadership came through judges, charismatic, God-appointed figures like the Borah, Gideon, and Samson, who were raised up to deliver the people from foreign oppression.

But while they were gaining ground politically and militarily, they were slipping spiritually.
