Genesis 50; Psalm 30; Matthew 27:27-44
If ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me…and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. Exodus 19:5-6
God’s plans are given in terms that are understandable to us if we are willing to be taught. Lessons in the ancient book of Exodus teach us how to live on our pilgrim journey now. We are going to a better land, guided and kept by God. Our practices, conduct, attitudes, and anticipation, we are learning now. If we apply these lessons, they will
challenge us to live holy, righteously, and godly lives in this present world. —Gaius C. Goff
As sons of God, redeemed by blood,
We hasten from Egypt away;
We cross the sand to the pleasant land,
And the joys of an endless day.—A. B. MacKay
