(March 20, 2014)
I wonder what it must have been like to have lived in the days of the Exodus. To have all of these miracles happening in the sight of all of Israel seems to me to have likely been second only to the miracles that would have been visible to someone following Christ during His mortal ministry. And no wonder – after all, the Exodus was certainly an analogy or a type of each of our acceptance of the Atonement and fleeing our own personal Egypt.
There is an overarching pattern there, as well. Just leaving Egypt isn’t enough – although it is a necessary first step in the process. After we leave Egypt, we must then search out the law and follow it, taking courage in the face of the giants we each must slay, and persevering until we reach our own promised lands. In that sense, we are all on an Exodus, and while the miracles that happen don’t happen in the sight of all of Israel, there can be no doubt that miracles continue in the sight of each of us who is willing to take our journey from Egypt today.
