World-Changing Flights

Summary

God’s flight over Egypt led to the flight of the people through the Red Sea. Together, these flights led to the liberation of the people from captivity. The people were ready for this trip, because God gave them instructions for how to eat the first Passover meal. “This is how you shall eat it,” said God: “your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it hurriedly. It is the Passover of the LORD” (v. 11). The Passover meal was eaten in faith, trusting that the deliverance promised to Israel was present, and that they would walk in that deliverance immediately.
