Exodus and Baptism: Our Identity in God's Story Fr. Tonys Homily for Trinity 18 2025
The Exodus story serves as a powerful metaphor for our spiritual journey, reminding us that we are a 'Paschal people' defined by God's liberating action. This narrative isn't just ancient history; it's our identity story, shaping who we are as believers. Psalm 114 beautifully illustrates how God's intervention causes all of creation to tremble and obey. Just as the sea fled and mountains skipped before the Lord, nothing can stand in the way of God's saving grace in our lives. This perspective challenges us to see beyond our current circumstances and recognize God's active presence. Are we allowing worldly narratives to define us, or are we embracing our true identity as God's sanctuary and dominion? By regularly returning to this foundational story, we can find renewed faith, joy, and confidence in the face of life's challenges.
