Have You Ever Wondered Who The Lord Is?

Exodus 5:1-2 - And afterward Moses and Aaron came and said to Pharaoh, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ' Let My people go that they may celebrate a feast to Me in the wilderness.'" 2 But Pharaoh said, "Who is the LORD that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the LORD,   NASU 
  • Pharaoh Asks Who Is The Lord. 
Moses and Aaron had been sent by the Lord to ask Pharaoh to permit the Israelites to take a three day journey into the wilderness to worship Him. Their request is denied. Pharaoh says to Moses and Aaron "Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice…?"
 
What is about to happen to Pharaoh, the Egyptians, and the Israelites is the Lord's answer to his question. The 10 plagues that the Egyptians are about to experience and the Israelites are about to view is the Lord's answer.
 
He is the one and only true God of all creation. The Lord says, "For this time I will send all My plagues on you and your servants and your people, so that you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth…."But, indeed, for this reason I have allowed you to remain, in order to show you My power and in order to proclaim My name through all the earth." Exo.9:14, 16
 
It has been said that each of the 10 plagues were attacks of Egyptian gods.
 
The Lord started with the Nile River. The Egyptians worshipped Hapi, the god of the Nile River as one of their gods. She was helpless when the Nile River was turned to blood, the fish died, and the Egyptians could not drink from these waters and there was nothing Hapi could do to help the Egyptians
 
The sacred bull Apis was likewise disgraced when the fifth plague brought the death of cattle. The sun god was named Amen-Ra or just Ra; he was discredited by the plague of darkness which lasted for three days. 
  • Pharaoh's Question Today 
Maybe you are reading this Pump Up today and you have the same question as Pharaoh: "Who is the LORD that I should obey His voice?"
 
He is the LORD God Almighty, Maker and Creator of Heaven and Earth. He not only freed the Israelites from the bondage of Egypt. He has made it possible for us to be free from the bondage of sin.
 
In John 1:1 it says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word with God, and the Word was God…." In John 1:14 it says, "And the Word became flesh…"  The Word was in Heaven with God and when the Word comes to earth He will become Jesus.
 
In the Old Testament God sent Moses to be the deliverer of the Israelites. In the New Testament God sent the Word, who became Jesus to be our deliverer.
 
God wants us to be freed from our sins so that we can be with Him for all eternity. Have you accepted Jesus' invitation to be your Lord and Savior?
 
It is so easy even I was able to do it 46 years ago.  All you have to do is say, I believe that Jesus is the Christ, the only begotten Son of the living God. We call that your confession of faith and then have someone immerse (Baptize) you into Christ. If you can't find someone to baptize you call on me by replying to this email and I will help you.
 
You will remember the Israelites had to put lamb's blood over the doorpost and down the sides. This same picture takes place when you are baptized. The water represents the blood of Jesus and when you go in the water it is like going into the blood of Jesus and having your sins covered by the blood of Jesus. 
 
"Who is the LORD that I should obey His voice?"
 
He is the one who is able to free you from your sins and has a place in heaven waiting for you.
 
Think About This:
 
The person who expects to go to heaven must take the time to study the route that will get them there.

FYI - January 30th I will be preaching at the Severn Christian Church at 10:30 am in Severn, MD. I hope to see some of you there.

Stay Pumped,
