Exodus 14-15

Chapter 14
Main idea
Pharaoh changes his mind again and goes after Israel to bring them back.  Israel loses faith as soon as they see the chariots and berate Moses.  God parts the sea for Israel to escape, holding off Egypt with the pillar of cloud and fire.  When they pursue Israel into the sea, God brings it back on them and drowns them all.  Israel believes in God and Moses.

How this is about Jesus
Like Moses, God's servant, Jesus also does God's will and accomplishes salvation for His people.

Sins this reveals
We tend to dismiss Jesus when the going gets tough.


Chapter 15
Main idea
Israel sings of God's greatness in delivering them from Egypt.  Three days later, with no water in the desert, they grumble against Moses again, and God saves them again.

How this is about Jesus
Jesus healed His people, as God does here, vs 26.
Jesus is living water, John 7.

Sins this reveals
Forgetting God's recent deliverance and going back to grumbling when things get tough.
