Jesus Our Better Exodus

Sep 23, 2025    Isaiah Wilson

Ever wonder what it really means to be saved? In this deep dive into Exodus 14 and the Red Sea crossing, we explore how this ancient rescue story points directly to Jesus and reveals the true nature of salvation. We'll unpack the layers of bondage we're freed from (legal guilt, works-righteousness, sin patterns, and idols), discover how salvation works through "crossing over" by grace rather than gradual improvement, and see why we can be saved through our ultimate Mediator who went through the waters of judgment for us. This isn't just Old Testament history—it's a vivid picture of the gospel that changes how we understand assurance, freedom, and daily Christian living.


If you've ever answered "I'm trying" when asked if you're a Christian, this teaching will help you move from "trying" to "trusting." We'll see how Moses as mediator points to Jesus, our better Moses, who didn't just stand on the shore but plunged into God's wrath so we could cross safely. Learn to identify the "old masters" that still try to enslave you, practice being still before God's finished work, and live as the free people you already are in Christ. This is salvation not as a bridge we build, but as a crossing God accomplishes—from death to life, from condemnation to no condemnation, from slavery to sonship.
