Exodus 15 — Sketch

The Lord Who Heals You

Big Idea:

• Moses leads Israel in a song of praise to God in which he calls God a warrior with a strong right hand that shatters enemies.

• Miriam grabs a tambourine and leads the women in a song as well.

• The Israelites travel into the desert for three days without finding water.

• They finally come to the waters of Marah, but the water is too bitter to drink.

• God tells Moses to throw a piece of wood into the water. When he does, the water becomes sweet.

• God promises, “I am the Lord, who heals you.”

• Later, the Israelites come to the oasis of Elim.

Jesus in This Chapter:

Just as the wood entered the bitter water and made it sweet, Jesus enters our sinful hearts and makes us holy. Jesus makes us new.
