The Passover and the exodus
On the night God struck down the firstborn of Egypt, every Israelite household sheltered behind the blood of a lamb on its doorframe, and God passed over them. Pharaoh released the people, and when his army pursued them God parted the sea so Israel crossed on dry ground.

The covenant at Sinai
Three months after leaving Egypt, Israel camped before Mount Sinai. God offered to make them His treasured possession, a kingdom of priests, and spoke the ten commandments from the mountain in fire and smoke. Moses sealed the covenant with the blood of sacrifices and the people promised to obey.

The transfiguration
About a week after Peter's confession Jesus took Peter, James, and John up a high mountain, where His face and clothing shone, Moses and Elijah appeared talking with Him, and a voice from the cloud called Him the beloved Son and told the disciples to listen to Him. Coming down, Jesus told them that Elijah had already come, and they understood He meant John the Baptist.

The covenant with Abraham
God bound Himself by covenant to Abram: descendants as many as the stars, a land for them, and an everlasting relationship in which God would be their God. Abram believed, and it was credited to him as righteousness. God later gave him the name Abraham and the sign of circumcision.

Jesus
Jesus of Nazareth is the center of the Christian faith and of FaithGraph. The Gospels present Him as the promised Messiah of Israel, the eternal Word made flesh, who taught, healed, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, rose bodily on the third day, and commissioned His followers to carry the good news to all nations.

Egypt
Egypt is the great kingdom on the Nile where Jacob's family settled, where Israel was enslaved for generations, and from which God brought them out at the exodus. Centuries later Joseph carried the infant Jesus there to escape Herod, and Matthew heard in the return the words of Hosea: out of Egypt I called my son.

Passover
Passover is the yearly feast that remembers the night God struck Egypt and passed over the houses marked with a lamb's blood, then brought Israel out of slavery. The lamb without blemish, the blood on the doorframe, and the meal eaten in haste became Israel's founding memory. Jesus chose Passover for His last supper and died at Passover, and the New Testament calls Him our Passover lamb.

Sacrifice and atonement
Sacrifice and atonement is the biblical pattern by which sin is covered and fellowship with God restored through a life given in place of the guilty. From the garments of skin in Eden and the ram in place of Isaac to the Passover lamb and the offerings of the law, the Old Testament teaches that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. The New Testament proclaims that Jesus offered Himself once for all.

The covenant with David
When David wanted to build a house for God, God answered that He would build David a house: a descendant whose throne would be established forever, whom God would treat as a son. The promise outlasted David's failures and the fall of his kingdom.

Mount Sinai
Mount Sinai, also called Horeb, is the mountain where God spoke to Moses from the burning bush and where, after the exodus, He gave Israel the ten commandments and made a covenant with them amid fire, cloud, and trumpet sound.
Focus this layer - Theme
Covenant
A covenant is a binding relationship God establishes with people by promise. Scripture traces covenants with Noah, Abraham, Israel at Sinai, and David, and the prophets foretell a new covenant that Jesus inaugurates with His blood at the Last Supper.

Peter's confession at Caesarea Philippi
Near Caesarea Philippi Jesus asked His disciples who people said He was, then who they said He was, and Peter answered that He is the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus blessed him, then for the first time told the disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, suffer, be killed, and rise on the third day, and rebuked Peter for resisting it.

The parables of the lost sheep, coin, and son
When the Pharisees grumbled that Jesus welcomed sinners and ate with them, He told three parables: a shepherd who searches for one lost sheep, a woman who sweeps her house for one lost coin, and a father who runs to embrace a son who had squandered his inheritance. Each ends in a celebration, and the last with an older brother who refuses to join.

Elijah
Elijah was the prophet from Tishbe in Gilead who confronted King Ahab and the prophets of Baal, was fed by ravens and by a widow in Zarephath, raised the widow's son, and was taken up to heaven in a whirlwind. Malachi promised his return before the Day of the Lord, and Jesus identified John the Baptist with that promise.

James son of Zebedee
James was a Galilean fisherman, the son of Zebedee and brother of John, called by Jesus while mending nets beside the Sea of Galilee.

John the apostle
John was a Galilean fisherman, the brother of James and son of Zebedee, called by Jesus beside the Sea of Galilee.
