Exodus - Chapter 15

Having left Egypt we are now going to see the Israelites constantly grumbling as they go through forty years of wilderness wanderings.  And the answer to their problems will continually point to Jesus.

And so their first problem is water that they could not drink because it was bitter.  And the answer to the problem?  God shows Moses a tree which will change the water, and make it sweet.

The answer to our problems promises us living water - and to find him God shows us a tree on which he was crucified.
