Let My People Go! This phrase may be considered the “Battle Cry of the Exodus”. Why did God tell Pharaoh, “Let My People Go”? In what manner did God let His people go? What does the Passover have to do with God letting His people go? How did the children of Israel react to being “let go” from Egypt? Is God still in the process of telling a “spiritual pharaoh”, “ Let My People Go”? And what were the children of Israel to do upon being “let go” from Egypt? As we approach Passover this year, let us remember what it means to “Let My People Go!”
