出埃及記第11章是第十災（擊殺埃及長子）來臨前的重要宣告。這一章雖然篇幅不長，卻讓我們看見神的公義、信實、主權，以及祂對屬祂子民的保護。
1. 神的話必定成就
神預先告訴摩西：
「我再使一樣的災殃臨到法老和埃及，然後他必容你們離開這地。」（出11:1）
法老雖然一再抗拒神，但神的計劃從未被攔阻。當時看來以色列人仍然受苦，但神早已定下拯救的時間。
屬靈提醒
很多時候我們為家庭、事奉、健康或信仰光景禱告，似乎長久未見改變。然而神並沒有忘記祂的應許。祂的時間不一定是我們的時間，但祂的話永不落空。
學習：
- 相信神的應許。
- 在等待中保持忠心。
- 不因環境而懷疑神的信實。
2. 剛硬的心會帶來嚴重後果
法老多次看見神的大能，卻仍然不肯悔改。
神給予許多機會，但法老選擇拒絕。最終，他和埃及全地都要承受嚴重的審判。
屬靈提醒
今天神也藉著聖經、講道、環境和聖靈提醒我們。如果我們一再拒絕神的聲音，心就可能變得麻木。
學習：
- 願意接受神的管教。
- 當聖靈責備時立即回應。
- 不要讓罪在心中扎根。
3. 神分別屬祂的人
神說：
「至於以色列中，無論是人是牲畜，連狗也不敢向他們搖舌，好叫你們知道耶和華是將埃及人和以色列人分別出來。」（出11:7）
當審判來臨時，神清楚地保守祂的百姓。
屬靈提醒
今天信徒活在世界中，也會遇到困難和試探，但我們是屬神的人。神知道誰是祂的兒女，也必看顧保守屬祂的人。
學習：
- 珍惜神兒女的身份。
- 活出分別為聖的生命。
- 在困難中相信神的保守。
4. 神的忍耐不是縱容罪惡
前面九災已經給法老許多悔改機會，但他仍然拒絕神。
神充滿憐憫，但祂也是公義的神。當人持續悖逆時，審判終究會來到。
屬靈提醒
神今日仍向世人發出悔改的呼召。福音的時代是恩典的時代，但人不能永遠忽略神的邀請。
學習：
- 把握悔改的機會。
- 珍惜神的恩典。
- 積極傳揚福音。
5. 基督是逾越節羔羊的預表
第11章是第12章逾越節的序幕。
長子的死亡預備了逾越節的來臨，而逾越節羔羊最終預表主耶穌基督。正如羔羊的血保護以色列人，主耶穌的寶血也救贖相信祂的人脫離永遠的審判。
屬靈提醒
得救不是因人的善行，而是因基督的救恩。
學習：
- 感謝主耶穌的代贖。
- 常常思想十字架的恩典。
- 將福音分享給未信的人。
我們禱告
親愛的天父，
感謝祢藉著出埃及記第11章提醒我們，祢是信實、公義和全能的主。祢所說的話沒有一句落空，祢的應許永遠可靠。
主啊，求祢保守我們的心，不要像法老一樣剛硬。當祢藉著聖經、聖靈和環境向我們說話時，賜給我們謙卑順服的心，願意接受祢的引導和管教。
求祢幫助我們在等待中仍然相信祢，在困難中仍然依靠祢，在試煉中仍然持守信心。讓我們記得自己是蒙祢救贖的兒女，活出分別為聖的生命，榮耀祢的名。
感謝主耶穌基督成為我們的逾越節羔羊，用寶血洗淨我們的罪，使我們得著永生的盼望。願我們常存感恩的心，也有勇氣把福音傳給身邊的人。
求祢復興教會，堅固眾弟兄姊妹的信心，使我們在末後的世代忠心跟隨祢，直到見主面的日子。
我們如此禱告，奉主耶穌基督得勝的名求。
阿們。

Exodus chapter 11 is an important proclamation before the coming of the tenth plague (the slaying of the firstborn of Egypt). Although this chapter is not long, it shows us God’s justice, faithfulness, sovereignty, and His protection for His people.
1. God’s word will surely be fulfilled
God had already told Moses:
“I will bring the same plague upon Pharaoh and Egypt, and then he will allow you to leave this land.” (Exodus 11:1)
Although Pharaoh repeatedly resisted God, God’s plan was never thwarted. At that time, it seemed the Israelites were still suffering, but God had already set the time for salvation.
Spiritual reminders
Many times, when we pray for family, ministry, health, or faith, it seems like there has been no change for a long time. Yet God has not forgotten His promise. His time may not be ours, but His word never fails.
Learning:
- Believe in God’s promises.
- Stay loyal while waiting.
- Do not doubt God’s faithfulness because of circumstances.
2. A hardened heart can have serious consequences
Pharaoh witnessed God’s mighty power many times, yet still refused to repent.
God gave many opportunities, but Pharaoh chose to refuse. Ultimately, he and all Egypt will face severe judgment.
Spiritual reminders
Today, God also reminds us through the Bible, sermons, environment, and the Holy Spirit. If we repeatedly reject God’s voice, our hearts may become numb.
Learning:
- Willing to accept God’s discipline.
- Respond immediately when the Holy Spirit rebukes.
- Do not let sin take root in your heart.
3. God separately belongs to Him
God said:
“As for Israel, whether people or livestock, even dogs dare not wag their tongues at them, so that you may know that the Lord has separated the Egyptians from the Israelites.” (Exodus 11:7)
When judgment comes, God clearly protects His people.
Spiritual reminders
Today, believers live in the world and face difficulties and temptations, but we are people of God. God knows who His children are, and He will watch over and protect those who belong to Him.
Learning:
- Cherish the identity of God’s children.
- Live a life set apart as holy.
- Trust in God’s protection in the midst of hardship.
4. God’s patience is not condoning sin
The previous nine plagues had already given Pharaoh many opportunities for repentance, but he still rejected God.
God is full of mercy, but He is also a just God. When people continue to rebel, judgment will eventually come.
Spiritual reminders
Today, God still calls people to repentance. The age of the gospel is an age of grace, but one cannot forever ignore God’s invitation.
Learning:
- Seize the opportunity for repentance.
- Cherish God’s grace.
- Actively spreading the gospel.
5. Christ is a type of the Passover Lamb
Chapter 11 is the prelude to Passover chapter 12.
The death of the firstborn foreshadowed the coming of Passover, and the Passover Lamb ultimately foreshadowed the Lord Jesus Christ. Just as the blood of the Lamb protects the Israelites, the precious blood of the Lord Jesus also redeems those who believe in Him from eternal judgment.
Spiritual reminders
Salvation is not due to human good deeds, but through the salvation of Christ.
Learning:
- Thank you, Lord Jesus, for His intercession.
- Often think about the grace of the cross.
- Share the gospel with those who do not believe.
We pray
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for reminding us through Exodus chapter 11 that You are the faithful, just, and almighty Lord. Not a single word You speak falls short; Your promises are always reliable.
Lord, please guard our hearts, not be as hardened as Pharaoh. When You speak to us through the Bible, the Holy Spirit, and your environment, you grant us a humble and obedient heart, willing to accept Your guidance and discipline.
Help us to believe in You while waiting, rely on You in difficulties, and hold fast to faith in trials. Let us remember that we are children redeemed by You, living lives set apart as holy, and glorify Your name.
Thank the Lord Jesus Christ for becoming our Passover Lamb, washing away our sins with His precious blood, and giving us the hope of eternal life. May we always keep a grateful heart and have the courage to share the gospel with those around us.
Please revive the church, strengthen the faith of all brothers and sisters, and help us faithfully follow You in the last days until the day we see the Lord’s face.
We pray this way, in the victorious name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
