I love the comparisons between the Israelites being delivered from bondage and us being delivered. Ex 6:6-7 says that God will free them from being slaves and redeem them with an outstretched arm. He will take them as his own people, and He will be their God. The same is true for us! When God redeems us from sin he delivers us, accepts us, and becomes our God. Then he leads us to a new life as we follow him. I stole this from a commentary, but I think the comparison is so awesome!! Especially since so many of the Israelites actions and responses in the coming chapters are exactly the way that we act. I just love the parallel stories and I think we can learn a lot.
