March 1, 2026: The Cross: God’s Covenant and the Exodus

Exodus 12:21-22, Jeremiah 31:31-34; Luke 22:19-20

We will look at the cross through the lens of the Exodus story. What does it mean for Jesus to be the new Passover Lamb? For him to institute a new covenant? After so many Old Testament covenants, why is his covenant different? Scripture says he gave his life as a ransom for many? Ransom to whom? Three new theories of the atonement will be explored as we continue seeking a deeper understanding of the crucifixion.

Reflection Questions: How does the Exodus shed new light on the cross? What are you a slave to and what does Jesus’ ransom mean for you?
