Inclusion can be good …but so can exclusion. Exodus 12:43-51 Three Questions: Who? How? Why? WHO?: Who MUST v.47 Who CAN v.44, 48 Who CANNOT  - Not Race BUT Grace HOW?: It was to be eaten in community v.46a It was to be eaten in conformity v.46b Inside No flesh taken outside No bone broken WHY? v.50-51 His Table is invitation only.

Exodus 12:33-42 As the exodus begins we see... 1. The Culmination of God’s Promise v.33-36 2. The Documentation of God’s Promise  v.37-41 3. The Commemoration of God’s Promise v.42 Our default is to dwell on what we “need” God to do in our lives. It is a good thing to reflect on all the promises He has kept.

Exodus 10:21-11:10 God is gracious. God is just. We need both. In the final showdown we see... 1. The Final Conversation vs. 10:21-29 2. The Final Preparation  vs. 11:1-3 3. The Final Devastation vs. 11:4-10  Revelation devoid of illumination always equals rejection. In our sinful state we can be exposed to the truth of God, yet without His grace working in us we will not believe.

Exodus 8-10:20 There is difference between godly sorrow over sin and being sorry that something bad or uncomfortable has happened. Three cycles of the plagues: 1. A Cycle of Denial 8:1-19 2. A Cycle of Distinction 8:20-9:12 3. A Cycle of Devastation 9:13-10:20 The Gospel is Christ breaking the cycle.  Don't fall back into it.
