Exodus

Luke 3:1-6
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate
was governor of Judea, and Herod was ruler of Galilee, and his brother
Philip ruler of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias ruler of
Abilene,  2  during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of
God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.  3  He went into all the
region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the
forgiveness of sins,  4  as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet
Isaiah, ‘The voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
“Prepare the way of the Lord,
    make his paths straight.
5  Every valley shall be filled,
    and every mountain and hill shall be made low,
and the crooked shall be made straight,
    and the rough ways made smooth;
6  and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”’

Throughout this series, we've journeyed from the prophets' promises of light through the psalms of David, and now we arrive at the mountain where it all began—Moses receiving God's commandments. Moses spent forty days on the mountain with God, just as Jesus would later spend forty days in the wilderness, showing us how Christ fulfills everything the Law and Prophets pointed toward. Before Moses climbed that mountain, he sprinkled the blood of the covenant on God's people, but in Christ, we receive a New Covenant. Join us for this final sermon as we discover how Christ brings forth God's New Creation, making us heirs to every promise God ever made.
