The book of Exodus continues the story of Genesis, following Abraham’s descendants into Egypt where they are delivered from slavery with God’s own power. God reveals more of himself as he rescues his people. We see God’s ultimate deliverance in Jesus, who brings a new exodus from slavery to sin and death. When Jesus is our deliverer, we find true freedom.
