I am the Lord. . . . I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
In Exodus 6:6-86Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments: 7And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the Lord. (Exodus 6:6‑8) we have seven “I wills” from God to us. Sometimes we hear men say to their brides on their wedding day, “I will.” That is his promise to be faithful to her. But here God promises seven times over what He will do for us. This first “I will” reminds us of Matthew 11:2828Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28): “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I WILL give you rest.”
