Help me help you.
If you have a question let me know.
God gave us rituals and traditions as a way to remind us of what He has done and what we need to do.
We celebrate Christmas and Easter, for example, and every year we are reminded of Jesus’ birth and death.
Passover was a celebration given by God to remember the actual passover.
The Last Supper was a celebration of Passover and we celebrate and remember at least once a month with Communion.
As we talk about Propitiation today we will talk about the Passover, how it pointed to Jesus, and what it all means for us.
Last week we talked about what propitiation is, this week we will talk about what propitiation does for us, and next week we will talk about the glory of Jesus through His propitiation.
Exodus 12:1–8 (ESV)
The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, “This month shall be for you the beginning of months.
It shall be the first month of the year for you.
Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household.
And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old.
You may take it from the sheep or from the goats, and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight.
Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.
They shall eat the flesh that night, roasted on the fire; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it.
Remembering the Story
God promised to make Abraham a nation
Joseph was in command in Egypt
Jacob, Israel, and all his family moved to Egypt, 70 people
Many years passed and a new Pharoah grew afraid and enslaved Israel
430 years later God called Moses to free Israel
The Plagues
Water turned to blood
Frogs
Gnats
Flies
Death of Egyptian livestock
Boils
Hail
Locusts
Darkness
The Passover
With the other plagues there was a distinction between Israel and Egypt; it was dark for Egypt but not Israel, Egypts livestock died but not Israels.
With the Passover there would not be a distinction between the nations, the only distinction was made for those who had the blood of the lamb on their doorposts.
Let’s take a closer look at that lamb.
Exodus 12:1–13 (ESV)
The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, “This month shall be for you the beginning of months.
It shall be the first month of the year for you.
Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household.
And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old.
You may take it from the sheep or from the goats, and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight.
Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.
They shall eat the flesh that night, roasted on the fire; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it.
Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted, its head with its legs and its inner parts.
And you shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn.
In this manner you shall eat it: with your belt fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand.
And you shall eat it in haste.
It is the Lord’s Passover.
For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord.
The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are.
And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.
The Lamb

Eat the entire lamb
Must be roasted on the fire, no bones broken

Any that remained had to be burned

Eat it with your staff in hand
Eat it in haste
God’s Judgment

The world now free from slavery to sin and death
