promises

all nations on Earth will find themselves blessed through your descendants because you obeyed me
Genesis 22:18

The story of the Bible is a story about Yahweh’s rescue and redemption of his good creation from its fall into sin, so that one day he might usher his people into an eternal rest in a new creation, where he will forever dwell with them.

This story begins in promise. And you can read about it in Genesis, Exodus, and onward. And one of the best ways to read this story is to watch it displayed before you, beautifully depicted and summarized, by the talented men and women of the BibleProject.

I just began the bit of the story we find in Exodus this morning, and so I watched it play out before me to get a sense of the whole narrative. Enjoy below!
