Exodus 11:1, “And the LORD said to Moses, “I will bring one more plague(the tenth plague) on Pharaoh and on Egypt. Afterward he will let you go from here.
Four things we can learn about the judgment of God.
1. NO ONE IS GOOD ENOUGH TO ESCAPE GOD’S JUDGEMENT. This tenth plague had no automatic exemption for the Hebrews. It was a great day of judgment upon all – it was the blood of the sacrifice that saved Israel. Death came in judgment to every home without the blood of the Passover lamb upon its doorposts. The first thing that we need to understand is that Israel was also guilty before God. Israel was only saved from suffering from the same plague as the Egyptians by means of the sacrifice that had been provided.
2. DELIVERANCE CAME THROUGH FAITH
Even though they were saved entirely by grace, it came through the channel of human response, through an act of faith. It was faith that made the difference.
3.SOMEBODY’S GOT TO DIE: THE DEATH OF A LAMB OR THE DEATH OF THE FIRST BORN
God taught that there must be death to atone for sin – the wages of sin . What does God ask you to do today in order to be saved? He asks you to believe in Him and to act upon that belief. He tells you that you are a sinner and that your sin condemns you.
4. FOLLOWING GOD ALWAYS MAKES A DIFFERENCE
When the Israelites stepped out of their homes that night to follow the Lord it was a matter of simple faith and obedience, they had no idea that they were making history.
I am so thankful that God sent His Son to atone for my sin.
