6. I removed his shoulder from the burden. Israel
was the drudge and slave of Egypt, but God gave him liberty. Other peoples owe
their liberties to their own efforts and courage, but Israel received its Magna
Carta as a free gift of divine power. Truly may the Lord say this of everyone
of his freed people. His hands were delivered from the pots. He was no
longer compelled to carry earth, and mold it, and bake it. How typical all this
is of the believer’s deliverance from legal bondage, when, through faith, the
burden of sin glides into the Saviour’s sepulchre, and the servile labors of
self-righteousness come to an end forever.
