MoP228 PReaching About Missions - Exodus

God's people are called out of their slavery to their sinful cravings, and called to be holy, separated as the people of God, strangers and aliens on this earth. Yet, like Moses, we are called to go into the world and rescue the lost. The book of Exodus lays a blueprint of God's dwelling with mankind, and the church now is the temple of God, preaching God's word to God's people, calling believers to obedience to God. Local churches need to be obedient to God's command to go into the world and preach the saving message of Jesus Christ, the only perfect mediator between God and man who can lead his people to God's holy mountain. The imagery and typology in the book of Exodus is rich, and it has global missions written all through it.
