God's plan for the Israelites was freedom. But Pharaoh was stubborn. He was not going to let the Israelites go. They were far too valuable to him and the Egyptian economy. Through a series of plagues, God displayed his awesome power. And with each one, Pharaoh's heart hardened even more. It was the last plague, which we know as the Passover, that compelled Pharaoh to let the Israelites go. The story of the exodus describes your new life in Christ. Your old way of life has come to an end. You are no longer a slave to sin. You are a child of the living God. But not just a child. God declared you to be a son. (Chapter 11, page 83)
