Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Pick out and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the Passover [lamb.] Exodus 12:21 (NKJV)
God delivered Israel from Egypt through the killing of a lamb. He instructed the Israelites to kill a lamb and smear its blood on their door posts – Exodus 12:7. Because of the blood the Israelites were spared as the judgement of death upon Egypt where all the firstborns were killed didn’t enter their houses but passed over – Exodus 12:12- 13.Jesus is the Lamb of God that has delivered us from sin and death. His shed Blood cleanses and frees us from all sin – Ephesians 1:7. He died and rose to bring us from death to everlasting life.Through Faith in Jesus and His work of redemption we can live free from sin and the fear of death.
