Exodus 10: Darkness Won't Let Go of Death, ☧ Still Leaves

Rev. David Fleming, pastor of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Exodus 10. “Tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country, and they shall cover the face of the land, so that no one can see the land.” The plagues of Exodus 10 ominously resemble the end of a decreation countdown. Yet even when the locusts are driven “into the Red Sea” with foreboding, Pharaoh grows more defiant. As sin’s clutches refuse to let go, they destroy God’s good gifts in self-fulfilled prophecy. While darkness and corruption desperately clutched their power, God worked life from death in Christ’s cross.
