Life on earth has been an unfolding story – God’s master design and plan revealed before our very eyes – and we are in the middle of history … His story! Exodus 12 tells us the history of the Passover lamb that was slain as a sacrifice. The LORD told the Israelites to place the blood of this lamb upon the left and right doorframes and on the top of the door to their homes. Some believe that the motion that was made to apply the blood was in the shape of a cross. “When the LORD goes through the land to strike down the Egyptians (who represent those living apart from a relationship with God),He will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway, and He will not permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down” (Exodus 12:23).
“Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” John 1:29
Precious ones, Father God provided His Son, Jesus on the cross, to be our final Sacrificial Lamb. Eternal death and destruction remain a threat to lives today. The intensity of darkness and despair without faith in the Lamb of God is seen in the faces we encounter every day. This Passover season, look into the eyes of someone you know or encounter and tell them of the Creator God who knows their struggle and pain in this darkened world. Tell them His story of the Passover Lamb. Share Father’s love and His plan of freedom from death and destruction. Lead them in asking for Jesus to cover their heart and soul – with His blood. Pray for the Spirit of Life to come in and set them free from all slavery and bondages of the past. And, finally, encourage them that they have just stepped into discovering supernatural and eternal life.
Beloved of God, you impart Father’s eternal life to those around you when you step out and share Father’s story of the Passover Lamb. Let’s be like John the Baptist who pointed people to Jesus and proclaimed, “Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29).
Love,
