info_outlineThe Bible is full of hidden gems and Exodus 13 is one of them. This passage gives us profound insights into the meaning of redemption and helps us understand what it means that we have been redeemed by Christ. Join us for this important study in Exodus 13!
DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS:
1. Exodus 13 lays out for us the principle of particular redemption. While that’s definitely a weighty idea, it is key to understanding who we are in Christ. So, let’s think back to the final plague of Exodus 12, what “price” did the Egyptians have to pay for the redemption of Israel? Did any of the Jews have to pay this same price? Why not?
2. According to verse 12, who belonged to the Lord? Why?
3. The podcast explained that if God saves a person from destruction, they owe their lives to Him. In light of the final plague, what did these Jews owe to God? How does this principle relate to us who have been saved through Christ’s death on our behalf?
4. The podcast referred to Exodus 34:19-20 for the redemption price that parents were to pay the Lord for their children. What was this price and why did they have to pay it?
5. The podcast also mentions Numbers 18:16 and Deuteronomy 15:19. What do these passages teach us about the principle of redemption? Why were some redeemed and some not?
6. All of these redemption passages teach the principle that a redemption price must be paid. Amazingly, New Testament tells us that the Father has given His Son Jesus to pay our redemption price! If Jesus is our redemption payment, do we still have to make that payment too? Why or why not? Why is Jesus’ payment sufficient for the rest of His spiritual family?
7. In Exodus 13:8, why was the father to instruct his children of the Passover by saying “It is because of what the Lord did for *me* when *I* came out of Egypt?” Why should the father say *he* came out of Egypt when only that first generation did? How would this identify future generations with that first generation of the Exodus? How does this help us understand the New Testament teaching that we were in Christ when He made His payment for us?
8. In verse 19, when Moses brings Joseph’s bones back to the Promised Land, what principle can we learn about faith and trusting God?
9. When God went before the people as a Pillar of Smoke & Fire, what did He presence signify? How was this different from the fact that God is everywhere at all times (i.e. omnipresence)? Could these people have been assured of God’s presence if they went off and did whatever they wanted? In our life today, how do we need to walk to be assured of God’s presence in our lives?
