Therefore, say to the Israelites: “I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

Under the Yoke
Exodus 6:6-7
“I will bring you out from under the yoke”
Forced as slaves to make bricks.
You feel enslaved.
John 8:34-35 Message
Jesus said, “I tell you most solemnly that anyone who choose a life of sin is trapped in a dead-end life and is, in fact, a slave. A slave is a transient, who can’t come and go at will.”
Matthew 27:50-53
And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and rocks split. The tombs broke open and bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus’ resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
The murder of babies.
You feel empty.
Requiring them to collect their own straw.
You feel exhausted.
The Cup of Sanctification
John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
Romans 8:11 Message
It stands to reason, doesn’t it, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, he’ll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus, bringing you alive to himself? When God lives and breathes in you, your body will be as alive as Christ’s!
1 Peter 1:3-4 Message
Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand –new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven-and the future starts now!
Make the move. Repent
2 Corinthians 6:17-18
Therefore, “Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” And, “I will be a Father to you and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
Let it go. Surrender
Mark 8:34-35 Message
Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat; I am. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to saving yourself.
Commit your life. Relationship
Romans 6:19
Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.
