Moses leads exodus from Egypt. 1500 years later, Mary and Joseph carried the baby Jesus out of Egypt to fulfill the prophet, "Out of Egypt I called my son." And 1500 years later, Luther led the religious breakthough by posting his 95 Thesis so that the structural church, the Dark Age, may enter into the spiritual church, the Body of Christ. I love those 1500 years span! Each 1500 years had a special purposes in the Body of Christ. Moses began the Law & Covenant. Jesus began the salvation & grace. Luther began the progress of perfection as the Body of Christ.
But those restorations came with a lot of resistance. A lot of those people said, "Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians [the bondage]". They preferred to stay comfortable. They hated the change. They despise the trail. "For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness." Mental errors here.
Moses responded, "Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent."
Lord, help us to prepare our heart to advance forward even in discomfort. So that we may experience the breakthrough, the next level of restoration in the Body of Christ. Amen.
