CC # 126 The finger of God Exodus 8

Sermon Title (s): 1. The finger of God, 2. No one remained
Text: Exodus 8

1. We are back to the story of Israel in Egypt, the testimony of Christ.
2. Moses and Aaron are back to speak to Pharaoh again by way of Miracles.
3. And through the Miracles God was coming and introducing Himself.
4. And for God to be known in that particular context He said, He would harden Pharaoh's heart so that he would NOT set the people free.
5. God does harden or softens the hearts of people as He pleases. Some are hardened to condemnation and yet others by His election are softened to the justification in Christ.
6. So, Plague after plague, in spite of the halfhearted pleas by Pharaoh, he still did not let the people go.
7. He could not let the people free because it was not how people who are in bondage are set free.
8. And this what God was driving the whole matter to. That He alone through His appointed means would set the people free.
9. So, the magicians did try their magic tricks, but quickly they came to their wits' ends. And we explored much gospel testimony in this story and it is free.
