JESUS AS TRUE NORTH
Since the beginning of time and the fall of humanity, God has had a plan to reconnect with his
people. In Genesis, he revealed more of himself over time to a chosen group of people. Each
generation who obeyed and loved him was blessed by his presence and love. It will be a very long
time until Jesus comes—almost two thousand years—but with each interaction, each promise, and
each leader, God reveals himself a little more and brings his people a step closer to Jesus.

EGYPT
AS EXODUS BEGINS, God’s
people are slaves in Egypt, in the
land of Goshen. But soon they will
journey back to the land of their
forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob, a land flowing with milk
and honey. Their travels will take
them across the Red Sea and
into the Sinai Peninsula, where
they will wander for the next
forty years. As they approach the
Promised Land, their first stop
will be a city called Jericho.
