God's Redemption Story (Exodus - Joshua)Sýnishorn

The tenth plague in Egypt is a clear picture of God’s plan for salvation—not just for the Israelite slaves, but for all people. God told the Israelites to kill a lamb, spread its blood on the doorposts, and eat the meat. When the angel of the Lord moved through Egypt, he would see the blood and pass over those houses, sparing the Israelites from the punishment poured out on Egypt.

Similarly, if we accept Jesus into our hearts, his blood covers us, so we don’t have to suffer the punishment for our sins. From the moment Adam and Eve ate the fruit and ushered the curse of sin into God’s perfect creation, this moment of unfathomable mercy was God’s plan to restore us.
