Marked by the Blood!
Scripture reading for January 19th: Exodus 9-13
Key Scriptures: Exodus 12:12-14 “On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn–both men and animals–and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord. The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt. This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord– a lasting ordinance.”
The Israelites were instructed to take a lamb for a family and slaughter it at twilight. They were to place the blood on the top of their door and the sides. This blood would be a sign to them and to the Lord that they were safe from the plague of death of the firstborn!
Reason for rejoicing: Jesus Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed and His blood can mark each believer by faith! “Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast–as you really are. For Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed.” (1st Corinthians 5:7)
