THE EXODUS

Date : Jan 01, 2000
Passage : Exodus 12:31~51
Keyverse : 31


1. 'Go, worship the Lord...also bless me!' (31-36)

Pharaoh's son died. So he summoned Moses and Aaron that night and ordered the Israelites to leave Egypt. The Egyptians feared God. They urged the Israelites to hurry, and, when asked, gave them all their valuables, fulfilling God's promise to Abraham (Ge 15:14) in awesome detail.

2. The Lord kept vigil that night (37-51)

They left in such a hurry that they didn't have time to add yeast to the dough. Later, they baked the unleavened bread in the desert--and ever after celebrated the Passover with unleavened bread. In verses 43-51 the Lord gives Passover regulations. So Israel left Egypt--430 years after Jacob and his sons had come. Jacob's family of 70 had become a multitude of 600,000 men, plus women and children. Many non-Israelites left with them. The Lord kept vigil that night to bring them out of slavery.

Application: Lord, thank you for keeping your promise to help all who believe and obey you to make an exodus from slavery to sin.
One Word: God brings us out of slavery
