The account of the crossing of the Red Sea (Ex 14) is presented here with a certain apocalyptic tone, as the culmination of the punishment that the Egyptians endured with the last plague. Here, it is emphasized that the crossing of the Red Sea resulted in a new creation; for example, the functions initially given to the earth or water (Gn 1) took on new forms, highlighting the Creator’s power in favor of his people. The common saying that when one door closes, God always opens another can help believers see this passage as relevant today. It invites us to reflect on God’s miracles in everyday life—like love, generosity, and life itself—and to recognize that they are also God’s new creation, capable of restoring many imbalances and negative aspects of our world.
