Did you know that the firstborn sons of Israel were spared from death on Passover night? Not because they were better than the children of the Egyptians. The Israelites were no less sinful or depraved than the Egyptians. The Israelite firstborn was spared only because of the blood of the lamb.
Scripture says, when the angel passed through Egypt and saw the blood on the doorframes of Israelites’ houses, he passed over those houses and did not allow the destroyer (death) to enter there. It was not enough for the lamb to die. It was also necessary that the lamb’s blood be applied to the doorframe as a sign of God’s protection.
Today, like the lamb that died in the wilderness and its blood applied to the doorpost, it is not enough to know that Jesus the lamb died. It is necessary to receive and apply the blood by faith, then we will see the benefit of his death. Christ died for our sins and rose again for our justification. Now we must receive Him as our personal Saviour. He is our Passover Lamb!
“When the Lord goes through the land . . . he will see the blood . . . and will pass over that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer to enter. . . .” Exodus 12:23.
Let’s Pray
Yahweh, I thank you for the reminder that I am saved not because of who I am or what I have done, but because of your grace through the blood of Christ. Father, guide me to accept, receive, and trust Him as my one and only Saviour. God thank you for your saving grace! In Christ’s name, Amen.
