This document contains the text of a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi on September 24, 2017. The sermon discusses Exodus 14:13-28, where Moses tells the Israelites not to be afraid as God will fight for them against the Egyptians. God parts the Red Sea to allow the Israelites to cross safely and then closes the sea to drown the pursuing Egyptian army. The sermon provides context on this passage and relates it to themes of victory, salvation and deliverance through faith in God. It also includes several other biblical passages about God's love and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

8. Jesus started His ministry by reading from Chapter 61 of
an Isaiah scroll.
Luke 4:18-19 KJV
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath
anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; he hath sent
me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance, to the
captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at
liberty them that are bruised,
19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”

9. In Christian circles, Isaiah is held in such high
regard that is called "the Fifth Gospel” because
the prophet Isaiah speaks more clearly of Christ
and the Church than any others.
NT writers quote from Isaiah more than any
other book of the OT.

Philip and the Ethiopian

11. Acts 8:26-33 NASB
26 But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip
saying, “Get up and go south to the road that
descends from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is a
desert road.) 27 So he got up and went; and
there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official
of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was
in charge of all her treasure; and he had come
to Jerusalem to worship,

12. 28 and he was returning and sitting in his
chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go up and join
this chariot.” 30 Philip ran up and heard him
reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you
understand what you are reading?” 31 And he
said, “Well, how could I, unless someone guides
me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit
with him.

13. 32 Now the passage of Scripture which he was
reading was this:
“HE WAS LED AS A SHEEP TO SLAUGHTER;
AND AS A LAMB BEFORE ITS SHEARER IS SILENT,
SO HE DOES NOT OPEN HIS MOUTH. (Isaiah 53:7)
33 “IN HUMILIATION HIS JUDGMENT WAS TAKEN AWAY;
WHO WILL RELATE HIS GENERATION?
FOR HIS LIFE IS REMOVED FROM THE EARTH.”
(Isaiah 53:8) Acts 8:26-33 NASB

14. Isaiah 53:8TLB
8 From prison and trial they led Him away to His
death. But who among the people of that day
realized it was their sins that He was dying for—
that He was suffering their punishment?

15. Acts 8:34-38 NASB
34The eunuch answered Philip and said, “Please
tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of
himself or of Someone else?” 35Then Philip
opened his mouth, and beginning from this
Scripture (OT) he preached Jesus to him. 36 As
they went along the road they came to some
water; and the eunuch said, “Look! Water!
What prevents me from being baptized?”

16. 37 And Philip said, “If you believe with all your
heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I
believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”
38 And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they
both went down into the water, Philip as well as
the eunuch, and he baptized him.
Acts 8:34-38 NASB

19. Exodus 12:1-5 NASB
The Passover Lamb
1 Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the
land of Egypt, 2 “This month shall be the
beginning of months for you; it is to be the first
month of the year to you.

20. https://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.1QEy9SA-k6KLS-MOwEUG5gEsCE&pid=15.1
3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying,
‘On the tenth of this month they are each one
to take a lamb for themselves, according to
their fathers’ households, a lamb for each
household.

21. 4 Now if the household is too small for a lamb,
then he and his neighbor nearest to his house
are to take one according to the number of
persons in them; according to what each man
should eat, you are to divide the lamb. 5Your
lamb shall be an unblemished male a year old;
you may take it from the sheep or from the
goats.
Exodus 12:1-5 NASB

This ritual represented the body of Jesus Christ
that had no sin of its own. Therefore, qualifying
Him to be the spotless lamb sacrifice.

At the first Passover, God set in motion the
sequence of events that would culminate
twelve centuries later with the sacrifice of the
Paschal Lamb for all mankind.

Exodus 12:6-7 NASB
6You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the
same month (four days later), then the whole
assembly of the congregation of Israel is to kill
it at twilight.

26. 7 Moreover, they shall take some of the blood
and put it on the two doorposts and on the
lintel of the houses in which they eat it.
Exodus 12:6-7 NASB

27. http://rashmanly.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/passover-2.jpg
God told the Jews to smear the blood of a lamb
above the doorposts of their homes, which
would cause the Angel of Death to 'pass over'
those homes which were under Divine
protection.

28. Hebrews 10:26-29 NASB
26 For if we go on sinning willfully after
receiving the knowledge of the truth, there
no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a
terrifying expectation of judgment andTHE
FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE
ADVERSARIES. 28 Anyone who has set aside the
Law of Moses dies without mercy on the
testimony of two or three witnesses.

29. 29 How much severer punishment do you think
he will deserve who has trampled under foot
the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean
the blood of the covenant by which he was
sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
Hebrews 10:26-29 NASB

30. Do not trample underfoot the blood.

Exodus 12:8-9 NASB
8They shall eat the flesh that same night,
roasted with fire, and they shall eat it with
unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

32. 9 Do not eat any of it raw or boiled at all with
water, but rather roasted with fire, both its head
and its legs along with its entrails.
Exodus 12:8-9 NASB

33. Centuries ago, during the Passover celebration,
the lamb was roasted upright on a
pomegranate pole with a crossbar through its
shoulders.
As a dry wood, pomegranate would not boil
(which was prohibited).

35. Exodus 12:10-13 NASB
10 And you shall not leave any of it over until
morning, but whatever is left of it until
morning, you shall burn with fire. 11 Now you
shall eat it in this manner: with your loins
girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff
in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste—it is
the LORD’S Passover.

36. 12 For I will go through the land of Egypt on that
night, and will strike down all the firstborn in the
land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all
the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments—I am
the LORD. 13The blood shall be a sign for you on the
houses where you live; and when I see the blood I
will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to
destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
Exodus 12:10-13 NASB

Passover – "When I see the blood, I will pass
over you,” the Lord told the children of Israel
(Exodus 12:13).

38. Nothing But the Blood of Jesus
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

39. Refrain:
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Lord, help me remember the things I ought not
forget and to forget the things I ought not
remember.

42. Why is this day different than all other days?
Because it is the day that we learn just how
much God loves us and how much He loves
those we come in contact with every day.

43. Jesus is their King too, and ours.
And God's Lamb for them too.
Are their garments spotless?
Are they white as snow?

44. Are you washed in the Blood of the Lamb?
Are they?

Matthew 26:17-30
How Do We Remember?

46. Matthew 26:17-30 ESV
The Passover with the Disciples
17 Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the
disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where willYou
have us prepare forYou to eat the Passover?”
18 He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and
say to him, ‘TheTeacher says, My time is at hand.
I will keep the Passover at your house with My
disciples.’”

47. 19 And the disciples did as Jesus had directed
them, and they prepared the Passover.
20When it was evening, He reclined at table
with the twelve. 21 And as they were eating, He
said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray
Me.” 22 And they were very sorrowful and began
to say to Him one after another, “Is it I, Lord?”

48. http://morselsofbread.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/jesus-christ-last-supper.jpg
23 He answered, “He who has dipped his hand in
the dish with Me will betray Me.

49. 24The Son of Man goes as it is written of Him,
but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man
is betrayed! It would have been better for that
man if he had not been born.” 25 Judas, who
would betray Him, answered, “Is it I, Rabbi?”
He said to him, “You have said so.”

51. Institution of the Lord's Supper
26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and
after blessing it broke it and gave it to the
disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”
27 And He took a cup, and when He had given
thanks He gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all
of you, 28 for this is My blood of the covenant,
which is poured out for many for the forgiveness
of sins.

52. 29 I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of
the vine until that day when I drink it new with
you in My Father's kingdom.” 30 And when they
had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount
of Olives.
Matthew 26:17-30 ESV
