Exo 14:13 | KingComments | STEP | Calm and with conviction Moses gives the appropriate answer to the complaint of the people. Although he does not know how the matter will proceed, he says to them that they must trust, and that they will see the salvation of the LORD. They don’t have to do anything themselves. The LORD will fight for them. They will see the results of His work. This will free them from their fear and make them able to move on in joy. The person from Romans 7 can, after the exclamation “wretched man that I am!”, say “thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” ( ). After many times “I” – we hear this word about forty times in Romans 7 –, he is now at the point where he no longer sees what he can do, but what God has done through Jesus Christ. That is true deliverance or freedom. Christ not only died for sins, the deeds; He also died to annul the power of sin. His blood cleanses from sins , His death delivers from the power of sin . A picture of that is what the people will learn as a lesson at the Red Sea.

‏ Exodus 14:13

Moses Encourages the People

Calm and with conviction Moses gives the appropriate answer to the complaint of the people. Although he does not know how the matter will proceed, he says to them that they must trust, and that they will see the salvation of the LORD. They don’t have to do anything themselves. The LORD will fight for them. They will see the results of His work. This will free them from their fear and make them able to move on in joy.

The person from Romans 7 can, after the exclamation “wretched man that I am!”, say “thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Rom 7:25). After many times “I” – we hear this word about forty times in Romans 7 –, he is now at the point where he no longer sees what he can do, but what God has done through Jesus Christ. That is true deliverance or freedom. Christ not only died for sins, the deeds; He also died to annul the power of sin. His blood cleanses from sins, His death delivers from the power of sin. A picture of that is what the people will learn as a lesson at the Red Sea.
