Passover 2020



The parallels between the event of Passover and the crucifixion of Christ are truly amazing. Two lambs without blemish sacrificed for the protection from judgement for Gods people. The people were instructed to choose a lamb just as we must decide today to choose the Lamb of God who takes away our sin and protects us from Gods coming judgement (John 1:29). Passover was the Day of Choosing; Will you make this day the day you choose Christ? (Joshua 24:14-15). Four days after the Day of Choosing the blood of the lamb was to be struck on the doorposts of each house. This was the Day of Application. The blood must be applied to each one of us to be of effect. The blood was a token, a thing serving as a visible or tangible representation of a fact. However faith was the key. The people still had to have faith  that the steps they had taken would give the desired results. In the same way we apply the Blood of Protection to ourselves when we believe by faith and trust that the work of the cross can and will protect us from Gods coming judgement. Good Friday is Crucifixion Day, the day Jesus of Nazareth the perfect Lamb of God was willingly sacrificed for your sin and my sin. Make this day your Salvation Day grab hold of the good news, open your heart to what He did for you and receive Him as your Lord and Saviour by faith, today!

John 1:29(ESV)
Behold The Lamb of God
The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Joshua 24:14-15(ESV)
Choose Whom You Will Serve
“Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.  And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lordchoose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
