History

World

When the Lord promised the land of Canaan to Abram and his descendants (Gen 15:7), every part of it was already occupied by other peoples. The long journey to possession of the Promised Land was prepared by God, yet it led through a path of adversity. We, the readers of the Old Testament, are left to wonder why.  In this engaging commentary on Exodus, J. Alec Motyer explores the character of God through his covenant promises and persistent faithfulness to the people of Israel. Through the story of Israel we are exposed to an unquenchable fire: God the Savior, the Companion and the Indweller, who will not fail those who so often fail him.

The Message of Exodus

Alec Motyer shows us how the Old Testament points to the same way of salvation as the New. Correctly understood, the Old Testament belongs to all who believe in Jesus. Law and grace are not poles apart: in the New Testament God gives his law to those to whom he has shown grace, as a pattern of life that delights him. The Bible is not two halves, but one book, a cumulative revelation, centring and climaxing in Jesus.

By understanding God's covenant with Abraham, we learn much about God's character: his faithfulness, patience and kindness. Yet sin invites punishment, and God does not turn a blind eye when his people disobey, as they all too frequently do. The stage is filled with characters, often the most unlikely ones, fulfilling God's purposes for their generation.

Alec Motyer has been a Bible lover since childhood. 'This book is about the Old Testament as it thrills me, ' he explains. His desire is to share that thrill with others, enabling them to tackle Old Testament books with confidence and enjoyment.

Discovering the Old Testament

I was a slave under a king determined to put me to death. Moses said: take a lamb and shelter under its blood. I did so, and the Lord saved me. 
The testimony that an Israelite rescued from slavery in Egypt might have given sounds remarkably similar to how we might describe our own salvation today. We too have been saved from death through the blood of a Lamb. 
World renowned Old Testament scholar Alec Motyer unfolds the drama of the book of Exodus in 40 daily readings. This rescue story will resonate with you as you appreciate afresh God's all encompassing saving grace.
