Episode notes
Death And New Life In One Night
- The night of Egypt's firstborn deaths was simultaneously a moment of righteous judgment and new life for Israel.
- Paul Tripp links that event to God's holiness, justice, and the birth of Israel's identity as God's children.
Take Divine Judgment Seriously
- Take God's righteous judgment and holiness seriously as a warning to all people.
- Paul Tripp urges listeners to not live as if evil will go unjudged or God's holiness is irrelevant.
Exodus Foreshadows Pauline Theology
- The Exodus judgment scene echoes New Testament teaching that sin's end result is death while God's gift brings life.
- Paul Tripp explicitly connects Exodus 12 to Paul's words about wages of sin and the free gift of eternal life.
