God has been hinting all along at what he's initiating here. He's so protective of his people and his plan for their freedom and restoration, he goes to great lengths to secure it. And this is certainly not even the greatest length God goes to.

God knows the pain the Egyptians felt because to secure your freedom and mine, he sacrificed his firstborn son so that the massive debt our sins accrued could be paid in full. We could never pay it, even with his help. We don't need him to help us. We need his utter and complete rescue.

And through the plan He initiated to sacrifice His Son, He also initiated a relationship with us and saved us from ourselves. We needed an initiator, God the Father. And we needed a mediator, God the Son. And we need someone to sustain and fulfill His work in us, God the Spirit. The plan that God has initiated, sustained, and fulfilled is the only way we can be united with Him.

And thank God, because He's where the joy is. I wish I had time to sit down with you and tell you all the incredible things that God has done here at The Bible Recap over the past few years. We put out a bunch of books. We're on YouTube. We're in multiple languages. We hired additional staff. We have seen salvations and we have seen families restored. And so many of you helped make that possible.

Hey, Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for The Bible Recap. Welcome to January's bonus episode. We're going to try to do an episode like this at the end of each month, offering some reflections and corrections, some R's and some C's. Let's start with the R's, looking back at Genesis, Job, and the first few chapters of Exodus we've covered so far.

The Bible is one unified story. It's the story of a family, and it all starts in Genesis. God the Father is literally known best to us by being a father. He defined love by sending his son to die on a cross, and he makes his paternal design apparent by choosing a family through which he would bring change to the world.

Genesis and Job and Exodus demonstrate the sovereignty and the goodness of the Lord. This is the way he writes our stories too. 2 Corinthians 5.17 tells us he speaks a new identity over us, just like he did with Abraham and Sarah and Jacob Israel. These books have set up so many amazing things for us.
