| | | Hi, I'm Ray Vander Laan, author of The Path to the Cross. You may wonder, year after year, if the stories of the Old Testament have any bearing on the death and resurrection of Jesus, as well as on your own life today. How should the ancient history of the Bible define your modern faith walk? How do we become part of that centuries-old story when we partake of the redemption God offers through his Son, Jesus Christ?
Have you considered how the exodus of the Hebrew people from Egypt to the Promised Land so long ago was more than a compassionate act of divine deliverance? That it was God’s calling of a people to be his “treasured possession” who would put him on display for the whole world to see (Exodus 19:4-6)?
In this free, multi-media rich Online Bible Study, we’ll shape a picture of Jesus and his world in light of the exodus. We’ll see how the Essenes and John the Baptist are linked to the desert experiences of Israel’s past. We’ll follow Jesus into the desert where he, like Israel, was tested and prepared for his mission to the world. And we’ll consider the events of the Last Supper and the night of watching in Gethsemane against the backdrop of the exodus experience.
I invite you to join me in The Path to the Cross Online Bible Study, March 9-April 12, 2020.
