Out of Egypt

So, you know how the exodus is a type of the cross? As in, Moses delivers Israel like Christ delivers believers, the Passover lamb is like the Lamb of God, etc., etc. Isn't it interesting, therefore, that Moses (a type of Christ) carries Joseph's bones out of Egypt? In the same way, the cross means not only forgiveness and peace with God; it also means a literal resurrection from the dead: our bones, too, will be carried up from this earthly Egypt when we receive a "heavenly body" (1 Cor. 15:40).

Isn't the Bible amazing?

P.S.: I'll be out of town this next week without internet access. I'm excited to catch up on some of my reading. Expect a whole whirlwind of posts when I get back!
