Exodus 14 - 15

God takes Israel through the Red Sea on dry ground, and destroys the power of Egypt by killing Pharaoh and his army in the sea. This whole story is a picture of our salvation, where God sovereignly and miraculously rescues us from slavery to sin and the world, and then forever destroys the power of the enemy against ever re-enslaving us again.

Israel going through the sea on dry ground is also a picture of water baptism, with only a new beginning in front of them, and an unsurpassable barrier against going back behind them.

In spite of all the miracles that God had done, and His visible presence among Israel, after only three days in the desert the people began to grumble and complain against God. This is a warning for us to not forget all that He has done for us, and become ungrateful when we don’t continue to see wondrous things He is doing for us.
