“Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs. 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.”
Exodus 12:7, 13 NIV
Like the Hebrews who were enslaved in Egypt, you and I were slaves to sin before knowing Christ. The shed blood of Jesus is the marking that covers us as followers of Christ, so that we are “passed over”. from death to life. We do not have to stand at the judgment seat to defend our lives. Instead, because He was pierced for our transgressions (Is 53:5) we receive healing from our sin and a judgment of our good works rather than for our many failings. Thanks be to God for this indescribable gift!🚦
