The Red Sea and the Atonement

When the Red Sea closed, we hope that the Israel children remember the symbolism. God knew death and sin were racing to catch them and relief and a haven were on the other side of the sea. Once that sea was parted it and they crossed, it, the mighty sea, closed on death and sin like the Atonement so that it could not pursue them any longer. I hope that this is us. Jesus has drowned the sins and death that awaits us, awaits our failure in both our present and future. It will not be done if we cross the impossible with faith.
