12-The Sabbath in the New Covenant

In a stupendous demonstration of power and mercy, God delivered Israel from the slavery of Egypt. But that deliverance, wonderful though it was, was only a shadow or picture of the redemption that, in the fullness of time (Gal. 4:4), Christ would accomplish for his elect. Israel was delivered from Egyptian slavery; in Christ, the believer is delivered from sin, law and death.
