0105 The Passover Lamb

The Passover Lamb

Bondage of Egypt is symbolic of the bondage of the world (Colossians 2:16-17)

Pharaoh is the oppressor (the devil), keeps Israel in bondage, sickness, poverty and makes their life bitter by using them to build his own ego. Pharaoh eliminated every possibility for the escape of his working slaves. Israel is working for him.

God steps in to put to shame every 10 gods of Egypt and Pharaoh’s pride by turning water into blood, frogs, lice, flies, pestilence on livestock, boils, hail, locusts, darkness. It’s dangerous to mess around with God’s kids. Pharaoh’s nightmare has only began.

Deliverance from Pharaoh and Egypt is only through the Passover Lamb (Revelations 12:11)

God killed every first born in Egypt to let Pharaoh know how it felt when God’s first born was torched by his nasty hand.

Israel had to kill the spotless, without blemish young male lamb in order NOT be killed by the dark angel – it’s a act of substitution. Blood doesn’t have any power but it was a symbol of the blood of Jesus.

God always inspects the sacrifice and sacrifice inspects you. The only way to God is through the Lamb – Jesus is the Lamb of God, the only way, the only door and the only Mediator between God and man.

The Jesus took your sin with shame, guilt, rejection, sickness, curse, oppression, poverty for you to be free from it once for all. Sin is as shame, guilt, rejection, sickness, curse, oppression or poverty.

The choice is ours: we chose to die or we chose to apply the blood of risen Lamb on the doorposts of our life.

The firstborn that were spared were offered unto the Lord (Exodus 13:11-16)

God then after the Passover asked that Israel will give to the Lord those whose lives were spared because of the Passover Lamb. God says that we have to offer our lives as a living sacrifice acceptable unto God after we been redeemed from the power of the evil one. We were not purchased from the world only but also unto God.

“To revenge is to kill the one that killed your son,

To do justice is to let the law deal with him,

To have grace is to forgive and adopt that person that killed your son”

Application Questions:

(Read Isaiah 53:11) Do you think Jesus is happy looking at your life and seeing you carrying what He carried for you instead? We did God REQUIRED for the firstborn that were spared to be dedicated to Him? (Keep in mind that: God required ONLY those who were spared to be dedicated to Him so, it includes all those sins Jesus took on the cross. God doesn’t only wants to deliver us from sin but adopt us into His Family).

“To revenge is to kill the one that killed your son, to do justice is to let the law deal with him, to have grace is to forgive and adopt that person that killed your son”
