Welcome to Enjoying the Journey with Evangelist Scott Pauli.

Today we are on a journey through Scripture.

We hope you'll join us as we make 66 stops through each book of the Word of God.

Redeemed how I love to proclaim it, redeemed by the blood of the lamb,

redeemed through his infinite mercy, his child and forever I am.

Those were the words that Fannie Crosby wrote long ago.

We love to sing them.

Where do you find that truth of redemption? Well, that scarlet

cord is woven all through the Word of God. Perhaps the fullest treatment of it is found in the

New Testament book of Romans, but it's actually first introduced to us in the Old Testament. You'll

remember that in the book of Genesis, God killed an innocent animal to cover the nakedness of Adam and Eve.

We've just studied the book of Genesis, and now we've come to the second book of the Bible.

Today we journey through Exodus. And may I say to you that what Exodus is to the Old Testament

is the same thing that Romans is to the New Testament. It is a revelation of what it means to be

redeemed. You find in seed form this truth in the Old Testament, and then you find it in fully

developed form in the New Testament. Exodus is an amazing book. As a matter of fact, the first six

verses of Exodus chapter 1 are really a summary of the last five chapters

of the book of Genesis. So there's a natural progression here. The book of Genesis ends with the

death of Joseph. And the book of Exodus begins with the birth of Moses. And when you see the children

of Israel in Genesis chapter 50, they're living in bounty in Egypt.

But when the curtain lifts in Exodus chapter 1, they're living in bondage.

You see, about 300 years lapses between Genesis and Exodus.
