Daily Devotional: Exodus 17:1-7

Moses strikes the rock and Horeb, and water springs forth. This could be miraculous, or as has been normative for God with Israel, He could have revealed the location of a hidden spring that was covered by a rock. There is a split rock in Horeb today, and many people want to claim that it is Moses’s rock. There is simply no way to know. Whatever spring Moses had available to him is no longer…

Daily Devotional Exodus 9:18-35

The gods of Egypt also had no control over the skies of Egypt. The Egyptian gods, Nut and Seth, are put to shame as Yahweh brings forth hail, thunder, and lightning in the most severe storm ever to have hit Egypt since it has been a nation. Like we have seen with the other plagues, Goshen, where the Hebrews live, is spared from the storm altogether. After God commands the storm to subside,…

Daily Devotional: Exodus 15:1-21

Moses and all of Israel sing a new song about what Yahweh has done. There are no gods like Yahweh, who actually acts and does wonders. All other gods are silent as if they do not exist. The fame of Yahweh goes out to the nations because of what He has done in Egypt. Yahweh has redeemed His people and shall reign forever and ever. Their song is accompanied by tambourines and dancing. The…

Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:1-13

God instructs the Israelites to eat a passover lamb and spread its blood on their doorposts as a sign of redemption, a sign to the people. We know that God is going to smite the Egyptian firstborn (except for Pharaoh himself) about midnight of the night Moses left his presence for the final time (Genesis 10:29-11:8). Now, God is instructing Israel to take a lamb and keep it until the fourteenth…

Daily Devotional: Exodus 7:8-13

The first sign in Egypt is the sign of the serpent. For many peoples around the world, including Egypt, the serpent represented and was said to bring long life, eternal youth, wisdom, and beauty. Pharaoh wore the image of the serpent. This is why Mosaic literature is filled with serpentine imagery from Genesis 1 onward—he is at war with the concept that taming a serpent brings such life because…

What About Human Responsibility?

Jesus has so far affirmed Pharisee soteriology. God first loves an individual. In response to God’s love, the individual cares to keep God’s Law. If a person keeps God’s Law, that person is righteous. God’s love is what brought the person into righteousness (i.e. saved the person). When the person kept the Law, that was evidence that he had been made righteous by God. This is the soteriological…

Seeing the Kingdom of Heaven

Have you ever seen God? Some of you will answer by telling me how you see God working or how you see God in nature or people. Those things are not God Himself. I will venture to guess that you have never seen God. Yet, we believe He is. A vast majority of people on the earth believe that God is and that He cares about the affairs of this world. Not only do we believe He cares about the affairs of…

Jesus as Prophet and The Personal Salvation Debate Among Jews in the First Century

In these notes, I first show the point of John 3:1-2 by offering a biblical apologetic for Jesus as having the authority of a prophet to reveal new revelation. Then, I explore the theological environment of First Century Judea in order to provide historical context for Jesus’s conversation with Nicodemus. It is no surprise that a large part of the debate among Jews was the degree or mode of human…

On Salvation and Reprobation

From the debates between Paul and the Gnostics through the ancient dialogue between Augustine and Pelagius to the exchanges between Luther and Erasmus or Calvin’s disciples and those of Arminius to the more modern upheaval between the New Calvinists and Free Willists, the doctrine of election has dominated Christian discussion. Election is the doctrine that most prominently applies directly to…

Unspiritual Spiritual Gifts- Exodus 31:1-11

After God instructed Israel to craft all of the specialty, custom items for the tent of meeting, He reveals that He has gifted certain individuals by His Spirit for the purpose of crafting these pieces artistically. God takes the credit for gifting His people for craftsmanship according to His own plans for the production of His own things. People knew they were gifted by the Spirit to do…

Daily Devotional- Exodus 20:4-6

Exodus 20:4-6 – Daily Devotionals with Andrew Cannon The Second Commandment is a command against having idols. Idol worship is equivalent to hatred toward God. God is a jealous God.

Daily Devotional: Exodus 20:1-3

God gives Moses the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments are a summary of the whole Law. God first describes who He is and what He has done. His own character and action are the bases for the imperatives. God identifies Himself as Yahweh, Israel’s God. As Israel’s God, He brought Israel out of Egypt where they were slaves. Notice, God does not expect Israel to follow His Law in order to gain…
