Spring has arrived, and one of the most significant biblical feasts – Passover – is not far behind. This year, Passover begins April 12, and it is more than just a historical event. It is a call to freedom, a reminder of redemption and an invitation to new life in Christ.
When we think about Passover, our minds often go to the story of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt. But before their deliverance, something heartbreaking happened. Exodus 6:9 tells us that when Moses came to tell the people that God had heard their cries and was going to set them free, they could not listen.
“Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses because of their despondency and because of their cruel bondage.” Their burdens were so heavy, their spirits so broken, that they could not receive the word of God.
