Jon Collins: 我认为福音书作者有意地将耶稣的故事描绘成一个新的出埃及记，耶稣是新的摩西，他来对抗那些掌控人类邪恶并奴役我们所有人的灵界势力。他先于他的子民经历逾越节的死亡之夜，为他们开辟了一条出路。耶稣也是逾越节羔羊，代表着无瑕疵的生命。上帝参与了痛苦，并且能够将我们从痛苦中拯救出来。耶稣的早期追随者称自己为“道路”，他们是出埃及的人民，正在摆脱奴役的道路上，等待着未来的产业，一个所有受造物都被更新的时代。保罗是这一运动的核心人物，他周游罗马帝国宣告新的出埃及，建立由犹太人和外邦人组成的教会。保罗认为所有基督徒的生活都是对逾越节的持续庆祝，是对我们从束缚中解放的永久庆祝。保罗告诫信徒们要跟随上帝的灵走出埃及的道路，就像以色列人跟随上帝的荣耀穿过旷野一样。保罗谈到整个受造物都在呻吟，但我们带着希望呻吟，希望受造物能从朽坏的奴役中得到释放，进入上帝儿女的荣耀自由中。保罗不断地引用出埃及的故事，他将耶稣的死与复活视为逾越节出埃及的事件，将基督徒的生活视为出埃及故事的持续上演，并将整个受造物视为宇宙出埃及的故事。 Tim Mackie: 保罗深思出埃及记和逾越节的意义，并将耶稣的死与复活理解为出埃及记的重演或应验。哥林多前书5章中，保罗用出埃及的比喻来处理教会中存在的道德问题。保罗将所有基督徒的生活视为对逾越节的持续庆祝，是对我们从束缚中解放的永久庆祝。保罗书信中到处都充满了出埃及的语言，他将加拉太信徒的故事视为新的出埃及记的故事。保罗在加拉太书中使用了“exareo”（ἐξαίρω）这个词，与希伯来语中“出去”的意思相符，这与出埃及记中的关键用词相呼应。保罗认为加拉太信徒已经得到释放，不需要再试图再次拯救自己，因为这已经发生了。保罗将出埃及的道路转变为耶稣为我们所做的事情，现在我们必须选择跟随上帝的荣耀（圣灵）走这条路。保罗认为律法及其诫命是好的，但它们是为了以色列在列邦中的特定目的、季节和角色而制定的。罗马书8章中，保罗探讨了如果我们真的被释放，为什么生活仍然如此艰难的问题。保罗认为受造物需要从朽坏的奴役中得到释放，进入上帝儿女的荣耀自由中。保罗将受造物比作被奴役的以色列人，而人类则成为了法老。保罗将耶稣的死与复活视为逾越节出埃及的事件，将基督徒的生活视为出埃及故事的持续上演，并将整个受造物视为宇宙出埃及的故事。

Shownotes Transcript

The Exodus Way E11 — After Jesus’ death, resurrection, and ascension, his followers grew into a movement known simply as “The Way”—a new exodus people delivered from sin and death, following the narrow way of Jesus through the wilderness of our present world and awaiting entry into a promised new creation. The Apostle Paul is a central figure in this movement, commissioned by the risen Jesus to spread the good news of the new exodus to the nations. He planted churches in several Roman cities and wrote letters to congregations of Jewish and Gentile believers. Paul was a Jewish man steeped in Israel's Scriptures, which is why we see him infusing Exodus language and imagery into his letters to the early Church. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore Paul’s letters to the churches in Corinth, Galatia, and Rome, discovering how Paul saw the death and resurrection of Jesus, the life of the Christian, and the larger story of creation as a cosmic exodus.
