About this episode
We come now to a passage that is a hard saying for the modern mind. How you read these verses will reveal what you truly believe about God, about man, and about the nature of reality itself. Our generation, steeped as it is in the mythology of human autonomy, wants a God who is a celestial consultant, a divine butler who makes helpful suggestions but who would never dare to interfere with the glorious freedom of our will. We want a God who reacts, who hopes, who tries His best. The God of Scripture is the author of the story. And in our text, we are given a glimpse into the author's notes, a divine summary of the action thus far. After nine devastating plagues, nine hammer blows against the gods of Egypt, we are told precisely why Pharaoh has remained so obstinate.
