DEVOTION 65: “Jesus Christ: the Tree of Life” coming out of Exo. 15
The Word is our Song.
The triumph of God is a song in the mouth of the believer. God triumphs with His Word. He created with His Word, and fights with His Word.
Remember the Word is Christ. When we sing His Words, we are singing Christ.
The Word comes out of Moses and the children of Israel in a song.
Let’s read:
Exodus 15:1-2 “Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. [2] The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.”
This is the position of the believer. The Word becoming our Strength, Song, and Salvation. He was the Same Word then, and He is the Same Word today. He is Jesus Christ our Strength, Song, and Salvation. He changes not.
We continue our reading:
Exodus 15:3 “The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.”
Jesus Christ is that man of war. He is the Son of man. The Lord Jesus Christ is His name.
We continue our reading:
Exodus 15:4-6 “Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea. [5] The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone. [6] Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.”
Just as Joseph was the right hand of pharaoh, Jesus Christ is the Right Hand of God.
Mark 16:19 “So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.”
He was the Right Hand of God even before the foundation of the world.
Jesus Christ the Same yesterday, today, and forever.
We continue our reading:
Exodus 15:7-11 “And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble. [8] And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. [9] The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. [10] Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters. [11] Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?”
There is none like Jesus Christ. None in Holiness, in praise, and wonders.
Moses saw it then, and we see Him today the same.
We continue our reading:
Exodus 15:12 “Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.”
Again, He fights with His Right Hand (Jesus Christ). He is the only one that can cause the earth to open or the sea to dry up. His Name is Jesus Christ, the Right Hand of God.
We continue our reading:
Exodus 15:13-16 “Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation. [14] The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. [15] Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. [16] Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O Lord, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.”
He purchased us by the same Right Arm (Jesus Christ) on the Cross. He is the Same God throughout all generations. He only reveals Himself differently in different generations, but remains the same God.
We continue our reading:
Exodus 15:17 “Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.”
He purchased them by the Right Hand to bring them to a mountain of His inheritance, into the Holy Land, a place of rest and safety.
By that same Right Hand, He purchased us on the Cross, to bring us to His mountain of inheritance, into the Holy Spirit, the position of rest, and safety.
We continue our reading:
Exodus 15:18-25 “The Lord shall reign for ever and ever. [19] For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea. [20] And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. [21] And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. [22] So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. [23] And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. [24] And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? [25] And he cried unto the Lord ; and the Lord shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them.”
The Word of God showed Moses a tree. Moses on his own would never know this tree could make bitter water sweet.
This Tree was the same Tree of Life that stood in the Garden of Eden. He is the only Tree that can make bitter waters sweet, turn water in wine, heal the sick, bring healing to the nations.
Revelation 22:2 “In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”
This Tree is the same Right Hand of God. This Tree of Life is Jesus Christ.
We conclude our reading:
Exodus 15:26-27 “And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee. [27] And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.”
They went from a place of bitter waters to a place of many waters, and palm trees.
Oh Glory!
Let the Word of God bring you to the Tree of Life. BELIEVE, and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. The Same Right Hand throughout generations, in Christ!
The Word is our Song.
The triumph of God is a song in the mouth of the believer. God triumphs with His Word. He created with His Word, and fights with His Word.
