Exodus 9:1-12
I Have Overcome the World
Summary:
It is hard to imagine the plagues that God brought on Egypt to show His power and lead Pharaoh to let God's people go from slavery. Today we'll see two more: sickness on the animals and sickness on the people as well. God had a plan to save His people. Let's think about it:
1. A mighty hand
2. A divine shield
3. A heart of stone
Verse:
Exodus 9:12 (ESV)12 But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
Discussion Questions:
1. What do we learn in these two plagues (livestock dying and the boils on the people) about God's power? Why do we often shy away from speaking about these acts of judgment that God sent?
2. What do we learn about the state of Pharaoh's heart?
3. How might the sickness God sent on Egypt represent the spiritual condition of the people? How do the miracles of Jesus healing people give us hope when we consider the parallels between them?
