Whether we focus on the concept of freedom or liberation, it is important to acknowledge that we worship a God of deliverance.  The central narrative in the Hebrew Scriptures is the story of the Exodus.  Much more than a historic account, The Book of Exodus challenges us about our fear of change even to the point of choosing captivity and inspires us to trust God explicitly with our promised future even when that future includes wilderness wanderings.  In Moses we find a connection to one who is flawed but finds his true calling as a servant of God.  Like him, through faith, we are drawn in God’s mighty acts of salvation.
