The Gospel of Exodus: Do you want God’s Presence or His Presents?
This series is called the Gospel of Exodus. The book of Exodus gives us shadows and pictures of the deliverance that God is going to bring to the whole world through His Son, Jesus.
Ultimately, the promise of the New Covenant, or the work of God, as we find in the New Testament, is that God is with us. We hear Him yearning for this throughout the Old Testament, looking to the day when He will do this work, and He will be our God, and we will be His people. Meaning we have God’s presence not residing in temples, synagogues, or churches, but His presence, the Holy Spirit, now dwells in us. We get God’s presence now as believers in this life, but in heaven, we are going to be in His presence.
What is God’s presence? God with-ness. His being with us. What are God’s presents? The promises and gifts of God.
God’s presence is God’s present that He gives by sending Jesus.
