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.
