Sunday is Communion which is always a good time to think about the mysteries of God. We keep with our series on Moses as we consider the series of plagues brought on Egypt and Pharaoh. Here’s a thought from the sermon:
The question we always ask is how did the Egyptian wise men duplicate the things Moses did? After all they replicated turning the Nile to blood, calling up hoards of frogs, etc.. Wondering how they did such things is the wrong approach. I think the Bible’s point is how can Moses and Aaron, slaves from slaves , do such a thing? In Exodus 7:11 we’re told the King, “summoned the wise men and the sorcerers; and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same by their secret arts.” This is the ancient equivalent of pitting the faculty of Harvard against two nobodies who know nothing. But what makes these men who they are is the Lord who stands with them.
