Exodus is not just a rescue mission—it’s a revelation of who God is and what it means to live as His people. It moves us from oppression to freedom, from distance to divine intimacy.
Why These Themes Matter
We all experience forms of bondage—whether to sin, fear, addiction, or despair. Exodus shows us a God who doesn’t just set people free but leads them into purpose. It teaches us that freedom is not the absence of restraint, but the presence of relationship with the One who made us.
Core Themes of Exodus
1. Deliverance & Redemption
Exodus 1–15
What It Teaches:
God is not distant from our suffering. He sees, hears, and acts. He redeems not only to rescue but to restore identity.
Catholic Insight:
The Passover becomes a defining symbol of salvation. Jesus fulfills this during the Last Supper—our Eucharist is the new Passover, celebrating our redemption through His body and blood.
Life Application:
