When does the power of God get exercised in the exodus story?
In the exodus account, divine power is exercised when Israel stands trapped before the Red Sea with no way out. At that moment God moves in, opens the sea, and the people cross on dry ground—not so much during the earlier plagues upon Egypt.
Les teaches that the power of God in the exodus story is not exercised so much in all the plagues that came upon Egypt, but rather when Israel stands before the Red Sea with no way out. Then the power of God moves in, the sea opens up, and they cross on dry ground. Les emphasizes it was not an easy place of crossing but the deepest, and they went across on dry ground.
