Exodus is a book rich with foreshadowing, vivid imagery, and powerful accounts that reveal God’s redemption, providence, and deliverance for His people. In Genesis, God promises to multiply His people and give them a land to call their own, and Exodus begins as those promises start to unfold. We see clear evidence that God has multiplied and sustained His people, even in the midst of hardship and oppression. Yet the fulfillment of their promised home still lies ahead, setting the stage for God’s continued faithfulness and redeeming work.

Paul prepares for his third visit to Corinth not with polished rhetoric, but with the resolve of a father willing to spend and be spent for his children. He refuses to burden them, even as he warns that he will not spare unrepentant sin. The Corinthians want proof of Christ’s power in Paul—but Paul turns the question back on them. Do they see the evidence of Christ in themselves?

In this passage (2 Corinthians 12:14–13:14), Paul dismantles the illusion that strength is found in appearances. Christ was crucified in weakness, yet lives by the power of God—and the same pattern marks His people. The call is not to project strength, but to examine ourselves, to pursue restoration, and to embrace the kind of weakness through which God’s power is made known.

On the road to Emmaus, we see the resurrected Jesus draw near to two disciples as He shows them that everything in Scripture points to Him and that the cross and resurrection are the fulfillment of God’s plan from the beginning. God opens their eyes through faith, demonstrating that believing is seeing and that He gives hearts able to recognize the risen Christ. When they finally recognize Him, their joy compels them to share the news.
