God in his mercy and wrath continues to answer the question that Pharoah asked and that so many of us ask: “Who is the Lord that I should obey his voice?” Because, although the vast majority of people believe in a God of some form or fashion, we also chafe against the idea of a God who demands or commands anything of us. In the plagues God answers that question by revealing that he alone is the true God, The Lord who is the mighty creator, the just judge and the gracious Saviour.
