Third Sunday of Advent: “Moses Parts the Red Sea” — Give Generously
Last week, we learned how Moses boldly confronted Pharaoh, who eventually relented and allowed the Israelites to depart on their journey. God urgently commanded the people to prepare the Passover blood of a lamb to spare their houses and to offer hospitality to their neighbors. This reminds us that we are all part of the larger family of believers who eagerly await our Savior's return.
After parting the Red Sea, Moses faithfully led the Israelites to safety. The Hebrew people rejoiced loudly, offering praises and songs to the Lord. They had witnessed firsthand the mighty hand of God—the same power that defeated their enemies also protected them by holding back the waters of the Red Sea.
God's power and generosity are not meant for selfish consumption. They serve as an example of how we can, in turn, be generous to others. The blessings we receive can be spread to others through gifts of our time, talents, and financial resources.
The Hebrews experienced countless blessings due to their obedience in following the pillar of light that guided their way. As we light the third candle and get closer to Christmas, let us gain a deeper understanding of God's blessings in our lives and a heightened anticipation of the Christ child. May we focus our eyes on our heavenly hope and remember how God has richly and generously blessed us and continues to do so.
About this Plan

Advent is a season of reflection, preparation, and anticipation for the coming of Jesus Christ. The Book of Exodus, on the other hand, chronicles the Israelites' arduous journey out of slavery in Egypt and their quest for the Promised Land. While these two may seem unrelated at first glance, through this plan we discover how Exodus foreshadows Jesus' miraculous birth over a millennium later, and what we can learn from the Hebrews' period of trust in waiting, even today.
