Grace - From the Top

Ok, folks. Let's take it from the top:


1. Pharaoh enslaved the Hebrews.
2. God brought His people a Hebrew who was not a slave to Pharaoh.
3. This free Hebrew condemned Pharaoh by sending a curse upon him.
4. This free Hebrew then rescued God's people.
5. God destroyed Pharaoh.
6. God's people were free from Pharaoh's power forever.
7. God's people struggled to believe the truth of their freedom.

Or, maybe you can see it this way:


1. Sin enslaved us.
2. God brought us a Man who was not a slave to Sin.
3. This free Man condemned Sin by himself becoming the curse.
4. This free Man rescued us.
5. God destroyed Sin.
6. We were freed from Sin's power forever.
7. We, too, struggle to believe the truth of our freedom.

Either believe you're still captive to an enemy who is alive and well or believe you're now free from a defeated foe which once enslaved you.

It's your choice: Look at your sin or look at your Son.

Grace=Peace,

Hebrews 9:26b - but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

2 Corinthians 5:21 - He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
