‘Meet the Lord God who brings His people safely through’ (Exodus 14:15-31)

The account of Israel’s crossing through the Red Sea is quite stunning. Stuck on the western side of the Sea, crying out to God in anguish and despair, the people of Israel were in desperate straits. Pharoah and his armies had pursued them and all looked bleak…except for God. He had to act and He did – in a most powerful and amazing way – delivering His people through the Sea to safety. It’s good to reflect that when Jesus faced the awfulness of the wrath of God on the cross, He did not seek to please Himself, but when through what was before Him to bring us, His people, to safety.
