God's deliverance of his people from slavery in Egypt is the most significant event in Old Testament history. This one event is celebrated and remembered because it more than anything else, defines God's relationship with his people. In the Exodus, God shows that he is powerful and gracious. He is a God who works to bring deliverance to his people. The sad part of the Exodus story is the response of his people. Delivered from slavery, they grumble and complain as they travel through the wilderness. The story of Exodus and the wilderness has some significant parallels with our relationship with God through Christ. As we learn from them, we can avoid the mistakes they made and celebrate God's powerful grace.
