This Week's Sermon
Blood of the Lamb
This week we will look at the Passover seen in Exodus 11 and 12. Pharaoh has endured 9 plagues and still refuses to let the people go. In this passage God brings forth the final act to force Pharaoh to release the Israelites. The Israelites are saved from the plague of death by doing what God instructs. They sacrifice a lamb and smear the blood on the door post of their houses so that death will Passover their house and only enter the houses of the Egyptians. This Passover that frees the people from slavery is still celebrated by the Jewish people today. Studying this passage and comparing it to the account of Jesus we can see that Jesus has taken the place of the Passover lamb, giving His blood to free us from our sin. Jesus brings the New Covenant. Join us this week as we look at the original Passover and see the connections with Jesus the perfect Passover lamb.
