Exodus 11: Plagues of Law & Gospel, Faith in ☧ the Lamb

Rev. Thomas Eckstein, pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church in Jamestown, North Dakota, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Exodus 11. “Yet one plague more I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt. Afterward he will let you go from here.” Exodus 11 leaves us with a dramatic cliffhanger: Moses announces the most severe plague yet—the death of the firstborn—and storms out of Pharaoh’s palace in anger. But didn’t Pharaoh forbid Moses from coming back to the palace? What’s the point of this announcement? God speaks law and gospel through His servant and through His wonders, calling Egypt to repentance and forgiveness, even as He calls us today through His Word and Christ.
