No reparations or entitlement here! Instead, Exodus 12:35-36 powerfully displays God’s victory, favor, and grace. Israel left Egypt redeemed, enriched, and belonging to the Lord—pointing us to greater redemption in Christ, where believers are rescued from darkness, blessed with spiritual gifts, and given an eternal inheritance. 

Taken from Paul's book on "A Biblical Perspective of Social Justice Issues."
