Encouragement for your daily walk with God
This past Monday, April 14th, marked the beginning of Pesach (Passover). On the Jewish calendar, it was the 10th of Nisan, which, by the way, was also the day that Jesus would have entered Jerusalem 2000 years ago.
Part of the ritual was the selection of a lamb for the Passover sacrifice. I recently read an interesting article that said four days were required to inspect the animal to make sure it was perfect—without spot or blemish.
Christ followers have chosen their PERFECT Passover Lamb—one without spot or blemish—His name is Jesus.
The Passover lamb became dear to the Israelites because of its innocence and because its death invoked the memory of the first Passover lamb, whose blood literally saved their lives from the Angel of Death. It was a fantastic deliverance. And so is ours! We know the supernatural delivering power of God, because our perfect Passover Lamb has applied His blood to the “doorposts” of our hearts. That’s why Paul could say, “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” Ephesians 1:7
Chag Sameach, everyone — Happy Holiday!
This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: Exodus 12:2-3
