1. God's Worker
In Exodus 1, ‘King Pharaoh’, who shows the principle of sin, and ‘midwives,’ who God helps, appear. The servants of God appearing in the main text of Chapter 1 are the ‘midwives’. Many people think that in order to be useful for the kingdom of God and the will of God, we must have competent power, authority, and conditions. This story of the Bible is completely different from what people think.
The most powerful, powerful, and powerful man in Exodus 1 is Pharaoh, king of Egypt. However, the powerful are emerging as God's adversaries. On the other hand, the weakest midwives fight against the king and defend the establishment and completion of the kingdom of God. The reason why this is possible is that the completion of the kingdom of God does not depend on the help or abilities of human beings, but because it is God's work that God has ordained and God accomplishes. The midwives are mobilized not because they have the qualifications and abilities to stand up against Pharaoh, but because God sustains them. When God works through God's people, it is an expression of God's use of His people, not in terms of our usefulness or usefulness, but as an expression of who He is. People think that Moses is the only servant of God, not that the midwives are servants of God. People want to be like Moses but not the midwives.
2. God is a worker
When comparing the gods of other religions with the gods of Christianity, what Christianity emphasizes the most is that ‘God loves humans.’ The uniqueness and distinctiveness of the Christian creation and God's creation of man is that man was not created as a servant of God. Man is not an instrument used as a means to accomplish God's purpose. It is not that humans work for God and humans work for God, but on the contrary, God works for humans and God works for humans. God created the world for man, and God provided a place to stay and food for man. It is what God gives for mankind. Today’s text also says that ‘midwives’ are not God’s servants, but ‘God’ is a servant. Midwives are not working for or working for God.
God worked. He gave health to the Hebrew women and helped the midwives to give birth before the midwives arrived. So it was God who worked so that the children could be born safely, and it was God who helped the midwives not to disobey Pharaoh's orders. God saved the children, and God saved the midwives. God worked. You and I are meeting God in the Bible. It is not encountering a wicked god who abuses people, but encounters a God who works to help humans, a God who works to save humans, and a God who gives grace to bless humans.
