Pericope: Exodus 11:2, 12:33-36, 40 (ESV) 2 Speak now in the

hearing of the people, that they ask, every man of his neighbor

and every woman of her neighbor, for silver and gold jewelry.”

33 The Egyptians were urgent with the people to send them out of

the land in haste. For they said, “We shall all be dead.” 34 So the

people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading

bowls being bound up in their cloaks on their shoulders. 35 The

people of Israel had also done as Moses told them, for they

had asked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewelry and for

clothing. 36 And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of

the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. Thus

they plundered the Egyptians. 40 The time that the people of Israel

lived in Egypt was 430 years.

Sermon Title: Fight With Your Faith Pt 4 Inheritance

Point 1: Faith Tradition (Inheritance) Exodus 12:14 (ESV) 14 “This

day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a

feast to the Lord; throughout your generations, as a statute

forever, you shall keep it as a feast.

The Passover meal, also known as the Seder, includes specific

foods that are rich in symbolism, each representing an aspect of

the Israelites' Exodus from Egypt. Here are the key ingredients

and their meanings:

1. Matzah (Unleavened Bread):

- Meaning: Matzah symbolizes the haste with which the

Israelites left Egypt, not having time to let their bread rise. It

represents humility and the unleavened state of the soul, free

from pride and arrogance.

2. Maror (Bitter Herbs, usually horseradish or romaine lettuce):

- Meaning The bitter herbs symbolize the bitterness and

harshness of the slavery that the Israelites endured in Egypt.

3. Charoset (A mixture of apples, nuts, wine, and spices):

- Meaning: Charoset represents the mortar used by the

Israelites when they were enslaved to build structures for the

Egyptians. Its sweet taste symbolizes the hope and sweetness

that the future held for the Israelites, despite their bitter past.



4. Karpas (Vegetable, usually parsley or celery, dipped in

saltwater):

- Meaning: The karpas represent the initial flourishing of the

Israelites during the early years in Egypt. The saltwater into which

it is dipped symbolizes the tears shed by the Israelites during their

enslavement.

5. Zeroa (Shank Bone of a Lamb):

- Meaning: The shank bone represents the Paschal lamb, which

was sacrificed the night before the Exodus. This lamb was

roasted and eaten by the Israelites as part of the first Passover

meal, and the blood of the lamb was used to mark the doorposts

of their homes, protecting them from the final plague.

6. Beitzah (Roasted Egg):

- Meaning: The egg symbolizes both mourning and new life. It

represents the loss of the Temple in Jerusalem and the sacrificial

offerings that could no longer be made there. It also symbolizes

the cycle of life, renewal, and hope.

7. Wine (Four Cups):

- Meaning: The four cups of wine represent the four expressions

of deliverance promised by God in Exodus 6:6-7: "I will bring you

out," "I will deliver you," "I will redeem you," and "I will take you to

be My people." Some traditions also include a fifth cup for Elijah

the Prophet, symbolizing future redemption.

Point 2: The development of faith (Inheritance) Ex. 3: 22 but each

woman shall ask of her neighbor, and any woman who lives in her

house, for silver and gold jewelry, and for clothing. You shall put

them on your sons and on your daughters. So you shall plunder

the Egyptians.”; 11:2-3 - 2 Speak now in the hearing of the people,

that they ask, every man of his neighbor and every woman of her

neighbor, for silver and gold jewelry.” 3 And the Lord gave the

people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, the man

Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of

Pharaoh's servants and in the sight of the people.;

12:35-36 - 35 The people of Israel had also done as Moses told

them, for they had asked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewelry

and for clothing. 36 And the Lord had given the people favor in the

sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they

asked. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.

Exodus 12: 40 - 41 40 The time that the people of Israel

lived in Egypt was 430 years. 41 At the end of 430 years, on that

very day, all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.

(ESV) 2 “Speak to the people of Israel, that they take for me a

contribution. From every man whose heart moves him you shall

receive the contribution for me.

Point 4: The test of faith (Inheritance) Exodus 32: 1-3 (ESV)

32 When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from

the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron

and said to him, “Up, make us gods who shall go before us. As for

this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt,

we do not know what has become of him.” 2 So Aaron said to

them, “Take off the rings of gold that are in the ears of your wives,

your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.” 3 So all the

people took off the rings of gold that were in their ears and

brought them to Aaron.
