Refusing to Play the Victim

We conclude our series on the Plagues, the Passover, and the Parting of the Sea by looking at the moment when Israel finds itself trapped between the sea and slaughter by Pharaoh's advancing chariots.

Moses reminds the people that the Lord will fight for them.

That's, of course, true (as we see when the waters part). BUT, God also then tells the people to “go forward.”

This is what it looks like to refuse to play the victim.
