Students

Main Idea: Deliverance requires us to trust God’s plan. (Exodus 5-12)

Summary
The ten plagues we’re familiar with are not intended to punish the Egyptians, though that could be seen as a secondary side effect. God’s intention was to prove His power and might as being the only God. Each plague was a direct attack on the Egyptian gods that they so highly regarded and worshipped. God proved His superiority over each of them. In the end, one could ask, ‘Why didn’t God start with the 10th plague and save some suffering?’ The reason is that not only was God proving He alone is in control, but He was also providing time for repentance, an opportunity for people to turn to Him. The same is true now as to why He has not returned yet (2 Peter 3:9-10).

Review Questions
  1. Read Exodus 12:5-7, 11-13, 30-32. What parts of the story of the tenth plague foreshadow the Gospel and what Christ would later do?
  2. The acts of God seem severe. Why do we think that sometimes? What do His judgments teach us about God’s righteousness and justice?

Adults

Main Idea: God will execute judgment but will give grace to those who follow Him. (Exodus 12:12-13, 21-28)
