"I will take you to me to be My people and I will be your G-d, and you will know that I am your G-d, Who takes you out from the burdens of Egypt" (Shemos 6:7). The great Exodus from Egypt marks the first -- and only time in history -- that HaShem freed a nation of slaves from their bondage. Not only did this miraculous event demonstrate HaShem's care for His People, even more, HaShem revealed His unbounded compassion and love for us. Just as a mother kisses her child to show great affection to her beloved offspring, so too, during the great events of the Ten Plagues and the Exodus, HaShem revealed His unbounded love and compassion for every individual member of Klal Yisrael. As the Torah clearly proclaims, "I will take you to me to be My people and I will be your G-d, and you will know that I am your G-d, Who takes you out from the burdens of Egypt."
When HaShem mercifully rescued us from our hardships in Egypt, He also openly revealed and communicated His great love for His beloved Klal Yisrael.
Envision yourself, your family and friends as slaves in Egypt. You all suffer under the burdens of the oppressive slavery. Suddenly, HaShem performs awesome miracles to free you and Klal Yisrael from slavery. Even more, HaShem reveals His unbounded compassion and love to you, and all of Klal Yisrael. In addition, HaShem takes Klal Yisrael, alone, to be His treasured people.
