Year 1 begins with the gospel of John. Wait- we don’t start with Genesis? Don’t worry...Genesis is the next
book. John is an excellent starting place because it is an evangelistic book- John wrote this book to
persuade people to come to a saving belief in Jesus. I have personally done in-depth Bible studies of John
several times and have seen and learned something new every time.
Wrestling with Exodus 9:12 raises a big question: did God really harden Pharaoh’s heart, and if so, is that fair? A closer look at Scripture reveals Pharaoh’s rebellion long before God acted, showing us that God’s justice and purpose never compromise His goodness.
