Full Transcript
Hey Bible readers, I'm Miss Emily, and this is the Bible recap. For kids! Today's Bible Word Exodus chapter 12 verse 51 says, On that very day, the Lord brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt, like an army. As Pharaoh's heart remains hard, the Israelites remain slaves in Egypt, and God sends a plague of locusts which are worse than grasshoppers, and a plague of darkness. But Pharaoh does not repent. Before God sends the final plague, he tells his people to eat a special meal together. They eat lamb, bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast. According God's instructions, they paint the blood of the lamb on the sides and the tops of the doorways of their homes. They gather their valuables, including the valuables they got from the Egyptians, and they stay dressed and they wait. God sends the final plague. An angel passes through Egypt, striking down the firstborn son of every Egyptian, but passing over the Israelites' homes that are marked with blood. Realizing their sons are gone, the Egyptians drive the Israelites out. That special meal that they ate together was the first Passover, which is a Word to remember. Word to remember. Passover is a feast celebrated by Jewish people every year. And today, you're my sum of when the destroying angel passed over every home marked by the blood of the lamb, leaving the children inside safe. In the middle of the night, between two and three million Israelites leave the land where they have been slaves for hundreds of years. They are finally free. God saves God. God saves. And after 400 years of slavery, when his people had lost hope, God was working out a plan of salvation. The people of Israel walk out of Egypt like an army because God is with them and protecting them. He brings freedom and celebration when he gives salvation. And he's where the joy is.
