From the kingdom of nature and providence, the sacred writer turns to the kingdom of grace, and in the history of Israel, in their deliverance from bondage, he showeth how great that salvation must be; which is in the person, and by the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ. Reader! what bringing out of Israel from Egypt, could equal the bringing out the souls of sinners from the worse than Egyptian bondage, even that of sin and death? What Red Sea, like the red sea of Christ's blood? What feeding in the wilderness, equal to Jesus feeding his people in this wilderness, with his own body and blood? And what enemies in Og king of Bashan, and Sihon, king of the Amorites, equal to the enemies of God, and of his Christ, which bring the Lord's Israel into continued bondage, and excite their fears unceasingly? Well may every child of God, whom the Lord hath set free, cry out, Who remembered us in our low estate, for his mercy endureth forever!
