Rev. William Cwirla, pastor of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Hacienda Heights, California, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Exodus 4.
“Israel is my firstborn son, and I say to you, 'Let my son go that he may serve me.'” Fatherhood is central to Exodus 4, whose poetry prepares the way for Father, Son, and Spirit. As Israel’s Father, God lovingly repeats His name to Moses, “I will be with your mouth and teach you what to say.” When Moses however fails to circumcise his own son, only the son’s blood can atone for him, a sign of Passover and eventually Easter. Israel’s mission is not one of disobedience, but a mission fulfilled in the atoning Christ who obeyed to the point of death, even death on a cross.
