There are some movie scenes that I never get tired of: the rally speech in Braveheart, the reunion of Red and Andy in The Shawshank Redemption, the frozen flagpole licking scene in A Christmas Story. But, I have to say, I am a sucker for the moment in both The Ten Commandments and The Prince of Egypt when Moses splits the Red Sea! Or should I say, when God splits the Red Sea?
It is the power of God coursing through the weak human flesh of a servant that just pulls me out of the ordinary and routine and reminds me again of the majesty and awe of God. Isaiah understood this well! In Isaiah 51:9-11, he pictures the splitting of the Red Sea in terms of a war between God and the forces of chaos. And the New Testament pictures the splitting of the Red Sea as the onset of the Christian life (see 1 Corinthians 10:1-2).
I hope as you read on your own this amazing story, that you will pause for a moment and relish in the greatness, the power and the salvation of God Almighty!
