The Cry of the Redeemed

Exodus 15:11 says, “Who is like You among the gods, O’ Lord?  Who is like You, majestic in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders?”  

This verse teaches us two things: a) what it means to Moses and his context, and b) what it means to our context.

a) First of all, this verse finds itself within a song, that Moses sung directly after God has rescued Israel out of slavery in Egypt.  Therefore, 15:11 is loaded with redemptive overtones because that was what just took place!  After being enslaved by the Egyptians for 400 years, God showed up and saved His people!  What happens when God saves His people?  His people sing about the great works God did to save them, and that is what 15:11 is for the Israelites.

b) Second of all, this verse is what I call, the “cry of the redeemed” throughout redemptive history.  I call it this because from the rescue out of Egypt all the way up to the present day, we, the blood bought people of God, sing this same song in all sorts of different ways upon reflecting over the redemption God has wrought in us through the death of His Son.  AMEN!  God is glorious, no one is like Him, He is majestic in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders for His glory in behalf of His people.  Amen indeed!
