In this sermon, the preacher discusses the plagues that God sent upon Egypt to reveal His power and superiority over the gods of Egypt. The plagues were not random, but were specifically targeted at the idolatry and institutions of Egypt. The preacher emphasizes that the Egyptians were not foolish and that there was power in their religions. Through these plagues, God not only delivered His people, but also made Himself known to the Egyptians, showing them that He is the Lord.

F.B. Meyer emphasizes that the affliction of the Hebrews in Egypt led to their multiplication, illustrating that God's people often thrive under persecution. He draws parallels between the struggles of the early Church and individual believers, suggesting that true growth often occurs in times of trial rather than comfort. Meyer highlights the importance of relying on God's strength rather than our own, as exemplified in Moses' journey from self-reliance to dependence on God. He reassures that God comes down to lift us from our lowest points, and that our trials can lead to a deeper understanding of His grace and provision. Ultimately, Meyer encourages believers to trust in God's promises and to recognize that their struggles are part of His divine plan.

C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes that the ungodly world, represented by Egypt, is often resistant to recognizing Jehovah, but God's power will ultimately break their pride and lead them to acknowledge Him. Through His judgments and the salvation of His people, God demonstrates His sovereignty and authority, ensuring that even the most hardened skeptics will come to know Him. Spurgeon encourages believers not to be dismayed by blasphemies, as God will defend His name and bring all nations to bow before Jesus. The sermon calls for the Holy Spirit's convincing power to spread the gospel, leading to universal recognition of Christ's lordship.
