Moses Typical Of Christ

“And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river’s brink.” | Exodus 2: 1-3

Election is sovereign – the purpose of God.

The Bible reveals God to be sovereign in creation, providence, and salvation.

When men object to God’s sovereignty exercised in election, we do well to point them to the apostle’s words in Romans 9: 20-21: “Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?”

Men have been told for so long that God is in their hands, it is no wonder that many are astonished to hear that the Bible says it is just the opposite.

In Christ Jesus

”But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” |

Who can express fully the blessings of these words: “In Christ?”

To be “in Christ” means to be chosen “in Him before the foundation of the world.”

To be “in Christ” means that there is now “no condemnation,” accepted “in the Beloved,” and “complete in Him.”

It means that “as He is, so are we in this world.” “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans 8: 1)

“To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” (Ephesians 1: 6)

“And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power” (Colossians 2: 10)

“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.” (1 John 4: 17)

It means everything to be “in Christ.”

There Is One Ransom

“Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.” | Job 33: 24

There is one ransom that delivers men from the pit of hell.

God found it or provided it in “giving His only begotten Son.”

The ransom is called “the righteousness of God.”

“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” (Isaiah 45: 22)

It is the absolute and perfect obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ to God’s holy law; obeying its precepts and suffering its penalty.

“I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.” (Isaiah 61: 10)

It is upon that righteousness alone that we as believers must rest; and on that righteousness alone we must live, die, and appear before the righteous LORD God.

A Ransom Has Been Found

“Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.” | Job 33: 24

There is one ransom that delivers men from the pit of hell.

God found it or provided it in “giving His only begotten Son.”

The ransom is called “the righteousness of God.”

It is the absolute and perfect obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ to God’s holy law; obeying its precepts and suffering its penalty.

It is to that righteousness, to Christ that we must look and be saved. “Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.”

“I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.” | (Isaiah 61: 10)

It is upon that righteousness alone that we as believers must rest; and on that righteousness alone we must live, die, and appear before the righteous LORD God.

God’s Word Shall Lead You

”When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.” | Proverbs 6: 22

These are the words of a father and mother to their children concerning the written Word of God.

This parent, a believer in Christ, is persuaded of the ability of God’s Word, with His blessing to lead, keep, and talk. They would impress this upon their children.

God’s Word shall lead you.

It will LEAD you out of the way “which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” The way of works religion seems right, but man’s works being imperfect will always end in death.

The Word shall lead you to the way, the Lord Jesus Christ that is also the truth and the life, the only way to God.

It shall KEEP you when you sleep. The believer in Christ being reconciled through Him to God is able to lay down and sleep in peace. “I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety” (Psalm 4: 8)

It will also TALK to you. God’s word speaks to us as we read and hear it. I don’t know how many times I have been told after a service something to this effect. “God answered my question in your message,” or “You dealt with something in your message that has troubled me.”

I brought a message recently from Proverbs, and could not help but think after the message, “I wish that all of our young families with children had heard this message.” It seemed to me such a shame that they missed it.

Every service that a person misses he cheats himself of necessary food.

He misses that opportunity of hearing God speak to him from that passage.
