Sermon Discussion Questions
1. How was the annual Passover Feast to serve as a constant reminder for Israel? How did Jesus give this feast new meaning (see Luke 22)? Why do we need the constant reminder of this new meaning and how does it change how you view the Lord’s Supper?
2. What do we learn about the character of God from Exodus 12? How are you challenged to live differently because of this aspect of God’s character?
3. What would you say the book of Exodus is about in a short sentence or two? Why do God’s people need this book of the Bible? How has it brought encouragement to you so that you might have hope?
