Jesus Our Savior in All Things

"Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore." (Exodus 14: 30)

How big do you see God in your life?

Do you see Him as someone who sent His Son to die for your sins, but then you have to fight your own battles?

That is not the God of the Bible, who does not just save us from death and hell, but grants us the life of His Son, as well as His standing in victory too.

"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." (Romans 8: 37)

The Israelites' crossing over through the Red Sea is a picture of our baptism in Christ from death to life:

"1Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; " (1 Corinthinas 10: 1-2)

Faith in all that Jesus did for us is portrayed for us in the Red Sea Crossing:

"By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned." (Hebrews 11: 29)

When the Israelites crossed over, the beheld not just the deliver which they received from the hand of the LORD, but also the defeat of their enemies:

"7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked." (Psalm 91: 7-8)

 

And why?

 

"9Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;" (Psalm 91: 9)

 

Today, we live in God because of Christ Jesus:

 

"4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." (John 15: 4-5)

 

and then

 

"For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God." (Colossians 3: 3)

 

We see ourselves in Christ, and thus resting in Him, we have a victory over sin and all our enemies, too.

 

Last of all, the word "saved" is "yasha" in Hebrew, from which the name "Jesus" is derived. Let Jesus be your savior, and watch him take care of your enemies.
