Exodus 19:1–20:22; 24:1-11.  Tony van Drimmelen.  God’s promises to Abraham are partially fulfilled in the history of Israel.  Through the exodus from Egypt, God makes Abraham’s descendants his very own people.  Now at Mt Sinai He gives them His law so that they might live under His rule and enjoy His blessing.  For Christians today there is the great outworking of something Israel could only do in part.  Again and again our hearts are exposed by God’s law and we are driven back to the basis on which God accepts us: Jesus’ blood and His righteousness.  Because of Jesus we can respond to God in genuine obedience and with transformed hearts that are guided by His law.  Today we rise to become the new Israel, the holy nation representing Jesus and serving the community in which we worship and live.
