Exodus 12 - The Passover - Simon Elliott

Why is the Passover so significant? In what ways is this 10th plague so important? It is uniquely important in its historical effect. It works! The people are released from slavery. It is important in its theology – what it reminds the people about their God. God is sovereign over their history. God declares beforehand that this will be the final plague – that after this the people will be released. God promises that it will work this time. It is important because it is all down to God.
