Day 35 - The Passover

There is so much that could be written this morning. This is the culmination of the Plagues on Egypt. You can hear the fear in the words of the Egyptians: 7 Pharaoh’s officials now came to Pharaoh and appealed to him. “How long will you let this man hold us hostage? Let the men go to worship the LORD their God! Don’t you realize that Egypt lies in ruins?” (10:7 NLT).

Still to come is a plague of locusts, and then darkness, and it is capped off with the plague of the firstborn, the Lord’s Passover. It is here that the Lord executes profound judgment on the Egyptians and shows there is a difference between his people and those who are not his people. The Lord preserves the faithful, but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride (cf. Psalm 31:23).

Take three minutes and twenty-nine seconds and watch the clip below, and be encouraged and comforted. Too often we doubt the volume of our faith, but it’s not the intensity of our faith, but the object of our faith that matters. The Israelites were shown that very clearly on the night when the Angel of the Lord passed through Egypt.
