Please read Exodus 12.

Meditate on verses 13 and 1 Corinthians 5:7.

 

The blood shall be a sign for you

on the houses where you live;

 and when I see the blood, I will pass over you,

and no plague will befall you to destroy you

 when I strike the land of Egypt.

 

For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed.

 

Exodus 12 is the picture of salvation from sin through the sacrifice of Jesus.  People are enslaved to sin like the Israelites were enslaved to the Egyptians.  Jesus, the Passover Lamb, came into Jerusalem on the day the Jewish people were choosing their lambs (John 12:12-15).  Five days later when the lambs were slain, Jesus, the Lamb of God, cried with His last breath, “It is finished!” (John 1:29; 19:30).

Now in Christ Jesus, you who formerly

 were far off have been brought near

by the blood of Christ, sprinkled with

His blood, redeemed with precious blood, as of

 a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. 

­—Ephesians 2:13; 1 Peter 1:2b, 18b, 19

 

Just as He did over the Jews, the LORD will pass over you when He returns in judgment, if He sees the blood of the Lamb covering you.

Pray Exodus 12:23 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, when You pass through to smite those

who do not know You, thank You that You will see Your blood

on the lives of ____________ and me.  LORD, pass over us and do

 not allow the destroyer to come into our homes to smite us. 

Because of Your blood, Jesus~”
