“Remember This Day, in Which Ye Came Out from Egypt”
Come, Follow Me Study Guide | April 6–12
Reading: Exodus 7–13
We all recognize the pattern of knowing what is right and still resisting it. How we respond to that natural instinct shapes the direction of our lives, either softening our hearts toward God or hardening them over time. Exodus 7–13 traces that pattern through Pharaoh’s choices and shows why turning to Jesus Christ leads to real deliverance when it matters most.

Setting the Stage for Your Come, Follow Me Study
This section of the study guide aims to provide a deeper understanding of the circumstances surrounding the revelation or scripture being studied. By exploring the events, challenges, and background of the time, this section helps readers appreciate the significance of the teachings and how they apply to our lives today.
Moses and Aaron stood before Pharaoh and demanded that he release the Israelites from bondage in Egypt. Pharaoh rejected their request, and the Lord sent a series of plagues that struck Egypt and demonstrated His power over nature, false gods, and rulers.
Each plague increased the pressure on Pharaoh, yet he chose defiance and hardened his heart despite clear evidence of God’s authority. The final plague—the death of the firstborn—introduced the Passover, a sacred ordinance that marked Israel’s deliverance and became a lasting, central observance in their religious life for generations.
During the Passover, each household sacrificed a lamb without blemish and placed its blood on their doorposts so the destroying angel would pass over them, sparing their firstborn. This ordinance established a pattern of deliverance through sacrifice that connects directly to Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, whose sacrifice brings redemption from sin and death.
