– All Are Welcome Exodus 12:4 And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house
God continued describing Himself to Moses reminding us that part of His goodness is His righteousness and justice. His holiness demands punishment for sin.
God had already shown Moses His power, so Moses could certainly believe that God would help him lead Israel out of Egypt. But Moses wanted more. Moses wanted God to go with him. Moses said, “If your presence does not go, do not bring us up from here.” Then Moses asked for even more, “Please show me Your glory!” (Exodus 33:13-19.)
Caught between Pharaoh’s army and the Red Sea, Israel needed to stand firm in their trust in God. Moses was certain that salvation would come because the YHWH had already won the victory.
Not only did God give Israel freedom, He also gave them the wealth of Egypt! Egypt had refused to worship God, yet now it was their wealth that built His Tabernacle.
God gave Israel very detailed instructions about the Passover lamb and Yeshua fulfilled every one of them.
The blood of the lamb was a sign to God that the people believed in His provision and protection. Wherever the blood was, there could be no plague.
The blood on the doorposts of their homes was a sign of their faith in God. When He saw their faith, they were protected from death. This is the picture of God’s plan of redemption through sacrifice, the sacrifice of Yeshua.
While John was baptizing the Jews in the Jordan, he saw Yeshua coming to the river. Today we don’t really understand how startling John’s declaration was that Yeshua was the “Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.” John was combining two holiday sacrifices – the Passover lamb and the goats of the Day of Atonement.
Yeshua and the disciples were singing this song in the upper room hours before He was crucified.
