Monday, February 17, 2025Key Verse
“For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you” (Exodus 12:23).
Text —Exodus 12:21-26
Message
The Passover was instituted by God for the children of Israel to commemorate their departure from Egypt when God spared the firstborns of Israel and smote all the firstborns of the Egyptians, both human and beasts. The children of Israel were to observe the Passover throughout their generations.
In the reading text, we discover that God asked the children of Israel to strike the blood of animal on their lintels. The sign was to allow the destroying angel to spare their families from death, sorrow and judgement on seeing the blood which represents life. Today, only the blood of Jesus can save and deliver from God’s judgement of sin. Only the shed blood of Jesus has the guarantee of safety for mankind. “For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” Ask Jesus to cleanse you of all sins with His atoning blood. Surrender your life to Him. It’s then you can be preserved from the destroyer and the impending judgement of God on all sinners…
