Rev. Shawn Kumm, pastor of Christ the King Lutheran Church in Cody, Wyoming, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Exodus 2.
“His sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him.” Miriam takes center stage in Exodus 2 as the forerunner of Moses, serving God with faith and wisdom like their mother and the midwives. Most importantly, they see and serve as witnesses, like John the Baptist and Mary Magdalene after them. God will draw His sojourning people out of the water so that Egypt sees like Pharaoh’s daughter, not like the clandestine vigilantism of Moses. Similarly, God raised His Son for all to see, and His beautiful Son moves us to see and take pleasure in His new creation.
