Seeing Easter with New Eyes / Reliving the Red Sea Crossing

[Season 2, Episode 8]

Easter is a celebration of Christ's triumph over death (in real-world history). Foundational to Easter is the historical event of the Passover and Israel's exodus from Egypt, when God delivered his people from Pharoah's hand in many amazing and miraculous ways (also in real-world history).

Jewish people, and some Christians, participate in the celebration of Seder at the time of Passover each year. This celebration focuses on remembering the deliverance of Israel from Egypt. Part of the Seder celebration is the breaking of the matzah, which symbolizes the parting of the Sea of Reeds.

As we discuss the details of the "Red Sea" crossing (based on knowing its geographical location), we can see many parallels to the Easter story. When defeat seemed certain, when the enemy thought victory was within his grasp, when God's plan didn't seem to make sense—life triumphed over death, the enemy was defeated in a mighty display of God's power, God brought His people to a place of freedom and deliverance, and sent them forth to conquer the land.
