The History of Redemption in Scripture (Page 6)

Redemption from Egypt

Exodus 3 We survey the redemption of God’s people from Egypt and see how it is a picture to us of the redemption of true believers from bondage to sin and Satan.

Safe in the World

Exodus 1 The Lord had delivered His people from the famine by raising Joseph to power in Egypt. But a king arose who did not know Joseph and began to afflict the Israelites because he was afraid of them.

Shiloh is Coming

Genesis 49:8-12 We consider the final revelation in the book of Genesis that God gave of His redemptive plans in the Lord Jesus. When Jacob was dying, he blessed his sons and we see Christ clearly foretold in the blessing given to Judah. We see: * The blessi

You Meant it for Evil, but God for Good

Genesis 50:20 We consider another way the Lord disciplines/trains His people: through adversity. This is something the Lord frequently does. It’s not easy to go through difficult times, but we need to remember that when we do, they are all a part of God’s plan.

The Promise Confirmed

Genesis 28 Having seen how God gave pictures of His wrath and justice over time in the Old Testament so that people may fear Him as they should, we now consider that He also worked often to remind His people of His promises.

A Picture of Hell

Genesis 18 As Abraham pleads for the lives of the righteous in Sodom and Gomorrah, we see a picture of Hell in God’s destruction of the entire valley in which Sodom and Gomorrah were located, and a picture of redemption in the saving of Lot and his family.

Safely in the Hands of God

Psalm 105 Resuming our review of the history of redemption as we have it in the Scriptures, we see this morning from various accounts in Genesis how God protected His people (from whom Messiah would come).

Abraham Rejoiced to See My Day

Genesis 14:17-20 After the Lord separated Abraham from the world, He continued to reveal further aspects of His plan of redemption. When He was on earth, Jesus said that Abraham had seen His day and rejoiced in it.

Come Out and be Separate

Genesis 12:1-3 After the time of the flood, Abraham is called out of Ur of the Chaldeans to Canaan. This is God further narrowing the line through which Jesus the Messiah comes.

Judgment at Babel

Genesis 11:1-9 Relatively few years after the flood, the world has apparently forgotten the judgment of the flood and God’s mercy to Noah’s family. It has set itself up in opposition to God and His will and may even have begun to worship other gods. Once again, God act
