God displayed His mighty power by bringing His people Israel out of Egypt, the most powerful nation of that time, despite its wealth and strength. To achieve this redemption, He performed a series of miracles through Moses and Aaron over several months, beginning with wonders that Pharaoh's magicians could replicate, such as turning water to blood and calling up frogs. However, as the plagues intensified with lice, flies, cattle disease, and boils, the magicians could no longer counterfeit them. The severity escalated with hail, thunder, fire, locusts devastating crops, and a thick darkness lasting three days, immobilizing all except the Israelites in Goshen. The final blow came on the evening of the Passover, when God sent an angel of death to strike down Egypt's firstborn, from Pharaoh's heir to the servant's child and even livestock, resulting in widespread death and devastation. This immense price paid to free Israel from slavery to Egypt, pagan beliefs, and a culture of sin crippled the nation severely, though it did not destroy it entirely. In parallel, a profound price was paid to redeem us from bondage to sin and death, through the precious blood of Christ, the Creator God, as a lamb without blemish. This sacrifice, the lifeblood of the Son of God, was the only payment sufficient for our enormous debt of sin, underscoring the solemnity with which we must approach the Passover.

God's redemption of Israel at Passover marks the beginning of their relationship with the Almighty, freeing them from the harsh master Pharaoh and establishing them as His people. This redemption, however, was just the start, as Israel still needed to follow the cloud out of Egypt, make a covenant with their new God, and remain faithful to it. Their experiences serve as examples, showing that redemption is not the totality but the initiation of their journey with God. Just as Israel's redemption from Egypt was the beginning, so too does redemption for believers encompass past, present, and future aspects. In the past, Israel's deliverance from bondage parallels the initial rescue from oppressive forces. In the present, ongoing redemption reflects the continual need for rescue from various oppressions. In the future, the prophets and psalms speak of a time when physical Israel and Judah will be redeemed from oppressive powers and brought into a new covenant. This forward-looking aspect ties to the Passover, which commemorates redemption from the beginning with Abraham and Israel in Egypt, culminating in a spiritual process that will be complete in the kingdom of God.
