Listen to Dr Lawson's hour long message Show Me Your Glory. You will be blessed, edified, convicted and challenged! Then Moses said, "I pray You, show me Your glory!"

The Exodus is the central event of the Old Testament as the Cross is of the New Testament. (Wilkerson) That is to say that the shed blood of the Passover Lamb clearly points to the shed blood of the Lamb of God Who Alone is able to take away your sins! Dear reader there is only one way to be saved from the eternal punishment of Hell and that is by believing that the precious blood of the Lamb of God was shed for you for the removal of your sin debt, past, present and future. By God's grace through faith in Jesus' sacrificial death in your place you will be saved and not by any works you do (Eph 2:8-9). How do you know you are saved? Watch your life - you "works" they don't save you but do demonstrate that your salvation is genuine. So ask yourself - do you think differently about God, the Bible, time and eternity, and can you tell this is true by how you speak, where you go, what you watch, etc. You will never be perfect on this earth but you must believe in a perfect Person and only Jesus was perfect. Believe and you shall be save and empowered by His Spirit to walk in newness of life. If you have any questions about this write me on the contact form.

All these are found in this second book of Scripture.
