Discussion Questions: Exodus 13:1-16

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION AT HOME OR IN GOSPEL COMMUNITY GROUPS

Sermon manuscript available at emmausrbc.org

  • What are positive laws? “Positive law” was defined in a previous sermon and referenced in this one. What are they? Why are we to consider the laws about Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the consecration of firstborn males as positive laws? Hint: by positive law, we mean laws that are added. Positive laws are contrasted with moral laws. 
  • What was Old Covenant Israel supposed to get out of these rituals concerning their past, present, and future?
  • What might we learn from these laws concerning the Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the consecration of firstborn males?
  • We are not obliged to obey these laws. One, why? Two, what positive law (festival) are we obliged to keep? What does our festival teach us regarding the past, present, and future?
