Passion Week: Day 2

In Exodus 12, God established the Passover during the liberation of the Jews from Egypt. They were instructed to offer an unblemished lamb, marking their doorposts with its blood as a sign for God. His passing over their homes meant their households were spared from judgment, unlike their Egyptian captors. This Passover feast became an annual commemoration of God's saving intervention.

There has only been one unblemished person to ever live on this earth. His name is Jesus. Conceived by the Holy Spirit in a virgin, He lived a flawless life of obedience to God the Father. His purpose culminated in becoming the Passover Lamb for all humanity. Just as the Israelites experienced God's grace through the Passover, so too does the world find freedom through the sacrifice of the true Passover Lamb, Jesus. It is in Him, we discover the freedom from sin to live as God intended.

Reflect on the profound sacrifice of the Passover Lamb, Jesus Christ. Through His offering, we find true freedom and restoration. Give thanks for His perfect sacrifice, acknowledging the freedom it brings to our lives. Embrace this freedom, living in accordance with God's intentions for us, liberated from the bondage of sin and empowered to live fully in His grace.
