In Exodus 10:21-11:10, Pharaoh continues to refuse to let the Israelites go, so, for three days, God engulfs Egypt in darkness. The only light in the land is found with the Israelites themselves—a sign, because from Israel would come Jesus Christ, the light of the world. In Exodus 12:1-20, Pharaohs stubbornness has come to this: God is going to kill the firstborn of every household of Egypt. The Israelites, however, will be protected from harm, because they will have slaughtered a lamb and marked their doors with his blood. Seeing it, God will pass over their houses. Happy Ash Wednesday and lent to you all, and may the mercies of God Almighty be upon you and your household. May this season strengthen you in your and every way possible through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
