“For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
John 6:33

Today’s Bible Reading

Whenever things get hard for the Israelites, it’s complain, complain, complain. Even so, the Lord, in His mercy, provides for His grumbling people. The Lord never fails to provide for His people. May He replace our complaining, with trusting hearts filled with thanksgiving.

The Lord gives a complete victory to Israel over the Egyptians. Through Jesus, He’s given us a full and final victory over sin, death, and Satan. With Israel of old, how can we not sing a song of praise for all the marvelous things the Lord has done for us, and continues to do for us.

“Do not be afraid . . . The LORD will fight for you.” After speaking these words through Moses, the Lord follows through, rescuing His people by the incredible parting of the Red Sea. The Lord always keeps His promises. So don’t be afraid. Sit back and watch the Lord fight for you.

The Passover is to be a yearly celebration. When future generations ask about its meaning, fathers will tell how the Lord’s mighty hand brought the people out of bondage. Let Christian fathers today earnestly pass down the great and liberating truths of God’s Word to their children.

Lamb’s blood painted on the frame of the door saves the life of the firstborn within that house. As firstborn Egyptians die throughout the land, Pharaoh relents. God’s people are finally free. Yet the blood of Jesus, the Lamb of God, has won a far greater freedom for sinful man.

The last of ten plagues will bring about the death of every firstborn son in Egypt. Noteworthy is that the Lord hardens Pharaoh’s heart. When a person perpetually hardens his heart against the Lord, it may lead to the terrible judgment of the Lord hardening that person’s heart. “Lord, keep us steadfast in Thy Word!”

A plague of locusts is followed by total darkness. After all the wonders he saw, how sad that Pharaoh remained in the darkness of unbelief. Like Pharaoh, many today are in spiritual darkness. Stir us up, Lord, so we will bring the saving light of Jesus to those lost in the dark.
