4 ne time, a very long time ago, thousands of O years ago in fact, there lived a family of people. This family was very large, and they were called the children of Israel, because one of their very first fathers had been named Israel (his name when he was born had been Jacob, but then the Lord changed his name to Israel). The children of Israel had been made into slaves for the people of the land of Egypt and there they lived in captivity. They were not free to leave, even though they were miserable. They were miserable because they were forced to work very hard for the Egyptians and do whatever they commanded them to do. Now it happened that God heard the cries of the children of Israel and it was time to deliver them. God had a servant named Moses and He sent him the Pharaoh (the king of the Egyptians) to ask him to let His people go. God gave to Moses the power to work many signs and Moses showed to Pharaoh over and over again that God is true and that he needed to obey Him and let the people go, but Pharaoh had a very hard heart and did not listen. until the very last horrible thing had happened to the Egyptians and then he let the children of Israel go. The Lord then told Moses what was going to happen: will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. Afterward he will let you go from here. Then Moses went to Pharaoh and warned him about what was going to happen, to give him one more time to change his mind before great sadness and heartache came; This is what Moses said to Pharaoh: "Thus says the LORD: "About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt; and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the female servant who is behind the hand-mill, and all the firstborn of the animals. Then there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as was not like it before, nor shall be like it again. But against none of the children of Israel shall a dog move its tongue, against man or beast, that you may know that the LORD does make a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.' Then Moses said to Pharaoh: And all these your servants shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, "Get out, and all the people who follow you!' After that I will go out." What Did We Learn We are forgiven by receiving the Body and Blood of Christ. We become one family (one body, unity) with the rest of the church, brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers, Abouna and the deacons when we share the one body and blood of our Lord. In the same way that the children of Israel were surrounded by death that night when all the firstborn were dying, we too are surrounded by bad things, scary things, sad things, in this world. And in the same way that the children of Israel ate the Passover lamb and were saved, we must eat the body and blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the true Passover Lamb, who came to save us from everything that is bad and evil and to grant us everlasting life in Heaven forever. And just like the children of Israel continued to celebrate the Passover over and over, we too continue to celebrate the Eucharist over and over, because every time we eat this Food, we are renewed (made new) on the inside. For Christians, dying is just considered taking a trip, going from here to Paradise where there is nothing bad or scary. 1. Devotion: deep love or loyalty. 2. Deliver: send them out. 3. Twilight: the time between full night and sunset. 4. Doorposts: the doors ides. 5. Lintel: the support or the top of the door.

5 Fill in the blanks with the right word: ( heaven living live) Jesus said: "I am the bread which came down from. If anyone eats of this bread, he will forever" John 6:51 So in Egypt that night, at midnight all the firstborn would die. Except for the firstborn of the children of Israel. Every family would take a lamb (a male lamb in the first year of its life and that has nothing wrong with it at all), all the families of Israel would kill their lambs at the same time, twilight, and they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it. Then they would eat the lamb after it had been roasted in fire. This is called the Lord s Passover. Because during the night, the Angel of the Lord would pass through the land of Egypt, killing all the firstborn, but when He sees the blood on the door, He would pass over that house and those inside would not be destroyed. This is exactly what happened that night. All the firstborn of the Egyptians, man and animal, were killed and there was great sadness and crying and mourning in the houses of the Egyptians. But in the houses of the children of Israel, everyone was safe. This is how the children of Israel were saved on that night and how they were given the gift of life. After this event happened, Pharaoh told Moses to get out of Egypt with all the people. They were finally free. The children of Israel continued to celebrate this feast every year as a memorial of what happened to them and how God had saved them. A. There are more than 3,000 species of snakes in the world and there is at least one type of snake on every continent except Antarctica because they are cold blooded which means they can t live I cold places. B. Only one species of snake, the king cobra, will build a nest for its young. About 70 % of them can lay eggs. C. Snakes can be found in forests, deserts, swamps and grasslands, and under rocs.
