Nine plagues have fallen on Egypt and still Pharaoh's heart remains hard. God's final act of judgment will be devastating for the entire nation. However, in His mercy, He provides a way to escape the judgment through the substitutionary sacrifice of an unblemished lamb. Not only is this a significant event for the Israelites, but it is also monumental to us as believers, foreshadowing a Lamb who would save us from the judgment to come. Join us for session twelve as we discuss the importance of the Passover, and the perfect Lamb who rescues us from the wrath of God.
