God's Purpose in Pain
Commentators unanimously explain that God's "smiting" of Egypt is not merely destructive but is a form of loving discipline. As Charles Ellicott notes, "whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth." The hardships are the very means God uses to turn people away from sin and toward Himself for healing and salvation, revealing that even in judgment, God's ultimate goal is redemptive.
