1 By Clara B. Lawrence1 Sunday School Lesson Mrs. Lawrence Subject: God Establishes The Passover October 10,1982 Lesson Scripture The Great Exemption Exodus 12:11-13 The Permanent Statute Exodus 12:14-17 The Story Told Again and Again Exodus 12:24-27 Background Scripture...Exodus 11-12 Lesson Background The immediate result of Moses’ efforts in cai ying out God’s command to Pharaoh to “let His People go” was an increase in great and horrible burdens upon His people. He hardened his heart to God’s will which was indicated by his refusal to free the people. The coercion God used to free His people was in the form of ten plagues. Each time Pharaoh refused His pleas, He would send a plague in the following order: 1. The water in the Nile turned to blood (7:14-24); 2. Frogs from the Nile covered the land (7:25, 8:15); 3. People and animals were plagued by lice (8:16-19); 4. Swarms of flies filled the country (8:20-32); 5. An epidemic killed many cattle (9:1-7); 6. Boils tormented people and animals (9:8-12); 7. A hail storm devastated Egypt (9:13-35); 8. Locusts destroyed remaining plants (10:1-20); 9. Darkness covered the land for three days (10:21-29); 10. First-born sons of Egypt die (11:1-10) Nine of the above plagues failed to change Pharaoh’s attitude. But God sent the tenth plague which was effective in the deliver ance of His people. He gave specific instructions to Moses and Aaron for the preparation and celebration of the first Passover. Read Exodus 12:2-10 for details. Lesson Explained In preparation for a hasty departure from Egypt, God’s people were to eat the Passover in haste, and to have their loins guided, their shoes on and their staff in hand, (vs. 11). The tenth plague was also directed “against all the gods of Egypt,” and it demonstrated the powerlessness of these gods to stand against Jehovah. The blood that the Israelites applied on their door frames as sepcified would serve as “a token” or as “a sign” of their faith in obedience to God. The death plague would “pass over” (meaning of Passover) that family, (vss. 12-13). In verse 14, God ordered a reminder to His people’s rescue from the death that tragic night. They were to keep the Passover Feast, a feast to the Lord throughout their generations. And keep it forever. The Old Testament records at least six times when the Passover Feast was kept. The Feast of Unleavened Bread was part of the passover celebration. It was to begin by removing all leaven from the homes of the Israelites. The final words in verse 15 are threatening: “Whosoever eateth leav ened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.” “Leaven” in scripture means evil. Its elimination symbolizes separation from sin and defilement, (I Cor. 5:7-8). The holy assembly was to be held on the first and seventh days of the celebration. The purpose of which was to worship God. This celebration was to become a permanent part of Israel’s religious life. We should remember here that before the Hebrews left 'Egyptian bondage they demanded recom pense or pay for their labor as slaves, (38:24-31). Their demand was granted, and they left with an abundance, (vs. 16). Verses 18-20 complete the instructions God gave, and verses 21-23 tell how Moses passed God’s instructions on to the people. And the last portion of the printed text tell what Moses said. The people accepted the instruction regarding how to tell the story to their children. Their attitude is demon strated in the words: “And the people bowed the head and worshipped,” (vss. 24-27). Closing Summary Passover holds a special significance for Hebrew people because it is a reminder of their redemption by God from Egypt. In the symbolism of the Passover, we get a glimpse of the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. So the message of the Pass over to today’s Christian is: Hold on to redemptive faith for their own salvation, and then, in the spirit of the living Lord, pass it on! mi mmmmi w®s You'll Find The Best Local, Church, Business, & Sports Coverage Anywhere 111 I .
