NO OTHER GODS

The reason the Lord gives for desiring His people to be liberated from Egypt is so they may “go out from Egypt and worship Him” (Exodus 3:18; 5:1).

The Liberator God comes today to hear our cry, to deliver us from our bondage and then expects us to go to Him in worship. Moses asked Pharaoh for release for the people to go “a three days journey into the wilderness to worship” (Exodus 3:18, 5:3; 8:27).

The Lord is asking us to participate in “the three days” of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus and be delivered and worship the living Liberator God. We are not unlike the Hebrews, Jonah or Jesus; we must pass through the ‘the three days’ and continue on to worship and adoration.

When we worship it is to celebrate what has happened in our liberation. We come to the conclusion: Salvation means that God is my God. This is why not long after the deliverance from Egypt; the Lord gave Moses the first of ten commands, “You shall have no other gods before or besides me” (Exodus 20:3). This is the forever test of the heart and the mind.

“You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.” Jesus
