Scott Allen leads today's lesson from Exodus 12:21-32. We recap the plagues against Egypt described in chapters 7-11, ending with the announcement of the tenth and most devastating plague, the death of all the firstborn in Egypt. But God had a plan to deliver the Hebrews from punishment for stubborn disobedience. A Passover lamb was to be sacrificed, consumed, and commemorated. Blood would mark the doorframes of houses and save them from destruction. All of this points to God's redemptive plan for the world. Jesus Christ came as God's Lamb and through His shed blood on the cross has provided deliverance for all those who believe. Yet this story leaves us with a warning that for those not under the blood of Jesus, God's wrath and judgment remains.
