Theological Term of the Week

exodus, the
God’s deliverance of the twelve tribes of Israel from slavery in Egypt through the miraculous parting of the Red Sea, as recorded for us in the first eighteen chapters book of Exodus.

• From scripture:

Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying, 

“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; 
the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea. 
The Lord is my strength and my song, 
and he has become my salvation; 
this is my God, and I will praise him, 
my father’s God, and I will exalt him. 
The Lord is a man of war; 
the Lord is his name. 

“Pharaoh’s chariots and his host he cast into the sea, 
and his chosen officers were sunk in the Red Sea. 
The floods covered them; 
they went down into the depths like a stone. 
Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power, 
your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy.

“You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed;
you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode.” 
(Exodus 15:1-6, 13 ESV)

Sunday's Hymn: Face to Face

Face to face with Christ, my Savior,
Face to face—what will it be,
When with rapture I behold Him,
Jesus Christ who died for me?

Refrain

Face to face I shall behold Him,
Far beyond the starry sky;
Face to face in all His glory,
I shall see Him by and by!

Only faintly now I see Him,
With the darkened veil between,
But a blessèd day is coming,
When His glory shall be seen.

What rejoicing in His presence,
When are banished grief and pain;
When the crooked ways are straightened,
And the dark things shall be plain

Face to face—oh, blissful moment!
Face to face—to see and know;
Face to face with my Redeemer,
Jesus Christ who loves me so.

—Carrie E. Breck
