  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 20:1-3

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 20:1-3

    God gives Moses the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments are a summary of the whole Law. God first describes who He is and what He has done. His own character and action are the bases for the imperatives. God identifies Himself as Yahweh, Israel’s God. As Israel’s God, He brought Israel out of Egypt where…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 19:9-17

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 19:9-17

    God doesn’t hide what He does. He instructed Moses to bring the people so that there would be witnesses. While no one can see the essence of God, the people would see a manifestation of God in a cloud. God so organized the encounter so that the people would trust in Moses as their leader…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 19:1-8

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 19:1-8

    God now covenants with the nation of Israel, after saving them out of Egypt and bringing the people to Himself (Exodus 19:4). Like we saw with Abraham, the call to obedience follows the gift of salvation. In Abraham’s case, salvation was the gift of righteousness—credited to him on the basis of his faith. In Israel’s…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 5:1-23

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 5:1-23

    God never said that He would punish Israel for not going into the wilderness to worship Him. Further, God predicted that Pharaoh would not let the Israelites go (cf. Exodus 3-4). Thus, the nation of Israel begins her history of not fully listening to God, but only hearing some of what God says, and complaining…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 4:27-31

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 4:27-31

    God appears to Aaron and instructs him to go out to meet Moses. After sharing what God revealed to them, they both assemble the elders of Israel, and Israel believes. They are comforted because God is concerned about them in their affliction. In response, they do not question or interrogate Moses. Instead, they bow low…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 1:1-22

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 1:1-22

    Introduction The Book of Exodus comprises a story that continues from Genesis. While Genesis was the beginning of all things and Israel, Exodus is the outworking of God’s promise to Abraham—namely the promise to bless all nations through his descendants. In Exodus, Moses, the books author, is born and leads the Israelites out of Egypt.…

  • Daily Devotional: Genesis 35:9-22

    Daily Devotional: Genesis 35:9-22

    Jacob is given a new name that represents his redeemed place in Christ rather than his former wretched estate in this world. Jacob means “supplanter.” Israel means “contends with, not against, God.” From the renaming of Īssah to Eve in Genesis 3, the new name is a faint typology we see in the Old Testament.…

  • National Israel, Satan, and Jesus in Revelation

    National Israel, Satan, and Jesus in Revelation

    With the blasting of the seventh trumpet, we saw that the kingdom of Christ was at hand, and all authority was given to Jesus in His incarnation. He began to rule as the federal head of creation in His incarnation, a reality which necessarily begins His millennial reign over the earth in the First Century…

  • Cursed Trees and Cast Mountains

    Cursed Trees and Cast Mountains

    On Sunday, Jesus went into Jerusalem and cleansed the temple—tossing the tables of those who sold sacrifices and changed money, making the temple a market rather than a house of prayer for all nations. He spent the night in Bethany and now, Monday, travels back to Jerusalem. Matthew 21:18-22 Now in the morning, when He…

  • Salvation Through the Jews?

    Salvation Through the Jews?

    Ask your questions at Christoa.com, on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Tumblr. Every so often, I ask a question on Facebook in order to get us thinking about a concept mentioned in Scripture. This time I put the statement, “Salvation is through the Jews. True or false?” I received a myriad of responses including “false,”…
