Ex12-13 Ps 21 Acts 1

In the Old Testament it was obedience to the process of law that was important. The Israelites were justified if they followed God's instructions. In the New Testament Jesus took away most of the process and replaced it with a direct heart relationship with the Holy Spirit. Heart obedience replaced process obedience, a much higher requirement. Jesus could determine this because he paid the price for it. Just as God lead the Israelites out of Egypt, Jesus leads us out of the world and into his everlasting Kingdom.
