God Quote-Out of Egypt

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the Lord says in Hosea 11:1b.

“Out of Egypt I called my son.”

Originally in Hosea, this was a reference to Israel, which was called out of Egypt in the time of Moses. In the New Testament, this verse also applies to Jesus and is noted in Matthew 2:15.

He lived in Egypt for a period of time until the time of King Herod when it was safe to return to Israel.

God’s purpose for the Israelites to come out of Egypt was to set them free from slavery so that they could worship Him in the desert. God’s purpose for His Son to come out of Egypt was to set His people free from slavery to sin, and worship Him forever. In Jesus, our redemption is complete.

Hosea 11:1b-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for Life.
