Highlights**** The children of Israel (the children of Jacob and ultimately
Abraham) grew to be a big nation as they lived in Egypt after Jacob and his
family moved to Egypt to be with Joseph.
Many rulers came to power in Egypt after Joseph who were not kind to
Israel as they put the Israelites in slavery.
At just the right time, God had a baby born to the Israelites named
Moses who was to deliver them from the bondage of slavery. Your Sparkie can tell you all the amazing
details of how baby Moses was hid in the river in a basket to escape the
ruler’s law that all Israelite boys were to be killed and was then eventually
found by the ruler’s own daughter. Moses was raised in the ruler’s own palace,
but was raised part of the time by his own mother who taught him about
God. God eventually called to Moses to
be the leader of Israel, going before the ruler to act as God’s instrument by
showing the mighty power of God through terrible plagues brought to Egypt all
to convince the ruler to release Israel from Egypt. Then God showed His amazing power as the
Israelites were able to leave Egypt and God parted the Red Sea to allow them to
travel on dry land. We all, like the
Israelites, are in slavery – we are in slavery to our sin. Just like the Israelites needed someone to
deliver them from their slavery, we need someone to deliver us from our slavery
to sin. That Great Deliverer is Jesus
Christ. We are continuing to learn about
that Great Deliverance all Sparks Year! Read about this amazing deliverance in
Exodus Chapters 1-14. You are welcome to
