Daily Bread: The Lamb Who Saves

😇 Shalom to all.
God’s word today:

“By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.”
(Hebrews 11:28)

The central figure in the Passover festival is none other than the Passover lamb. This lamb symbolizes purity and sacrifice. We recognize that the lamb was not just an ordinary animal; it represented hope and salvation for the Israelites. In choosing a lamb without blemish, God emphasized the high stakes involved in their faith and obedience – “BY FAITH…”
The blood of the lamb marked the beginning of God’s miraculous intervention for His people.

As we reflect on this aspect, we can see the parallel relation to Jesus, our Lamb of God, whose sacrifice brings us ultimate freedom from sin. We remember how, through His sacrifice, Jesus gave us life, just as the lamb did for those in Egypt. Each time we celebrate Passover, we are invited to remember the depth of this sacrifice and its significance in our lives.

“For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.” Amen.
‭‭(Psalms‬ ‭103‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬)
