‘Meet the Lord God who judges but also saves’ (Exodus 11:1-12:51)

Exodus 11:1-12:51 details for us the tenth and last of the plagues that came upon Egypt. Of all the plagues this was the one that would really break Pharaoh’s stubborn will and also his father’s heart. The death of the first-born sons all throughout Egypt was a most dramatic event that the people of Israel would forever remember in the Passover feast they would hold every year that would bring themes of redemption through the blood of the lamb and deliverance from slavery to mind – matters that God’s people today see fulfilled through the death of Jesus, ‘our Passover Lamb’.
