The Spiritual Exodus
Psalm 114:1-8
When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;…


I. WE MAKE OUR ESCAPE FROM A STATE OF BONDAGE - EGYPT.

1. A life of sin is a life of spiritual bondage. (Romans 6:16.)

2. Such a life of bondage brings us into "strange" and unnatural relations. (Ver. 1.) Egypt was not the home of the Israelites.

II. THE SPIRITUAL EXODUS BRINGS US INTO OUR TRUE, OR DIVINE, RELATIONS. (Ver. 2.)

1. We become consecrated temples for the indwelling of God. (Ver. 2.) "Judah was his sanctuary."

2. We are kingdoms over which God reigns. "And Israel his dominion."

III. THIS EXODUS IS ACCOMPANIED BY GREAT EXCITEMENTS.

1. There is a grand revelation of the presence of God. (Ver. 7.)

2. A wonderful proclamation of the Law of God. Sinai is shaken by it, and so is the soul of man. Moses said, "I exceedingly fear and quake."

3. There is a revelation of the abundant mercy of God. (Ver. 8.) This manifestation of God "turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters." - S.
