Rev. David Andrus, pastor of Abiding Savior Lutheran Church in St. Louis and Not-Alone.net Ministries, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Exodus 13.

“When in time to come your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ you shall say to him, ‘By a strong hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt.’” Exodus 13 seems like no time for theology class, in the middle of the wilderness with Pharaoh about to pursue in the next chapter. Yet here God’s people are doing just as Moses originally asked: They are holding “a feast to the LORD” in the wilderness. Three rituals are tied together, looking back to Egypt and pointing ahead to Christ: God puts forward a substitute, He passes over us in mercy, and He makes us holy.
