Exodus 12 through 13

In these two chapters we learn about the passover. Here, the Lord tells Moses and Aaron that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb for his family , one for each household and slaughter it on the fourteenth day. They are to take the blood of the lamb and put it on the tops and sides of their door frames. When the Lord passes through Egypt and strikes down every first born, He will pass over the houses that have blood on their door frames...and there will be no destruction on those people. This is important and when asked what the point of this is, and we will be asked, by many people, we are to explain that the Lord brought us out of Egypt with His mighty hand...that He brought us out of slavery, when the Pharaoh refused to let us go.

What sticks out to me most is what it means... it means that the Lord set us free when nothing else could. That's so important...nothing else, no one else was able to set those people free. Nothing else, one else can set us free. Only He can do that! How often do I think about the freedom God has given me? How often do I thank Him for it? Not often enough, but Lord, I really am so thankful.

Your dying meant I was able to live. Fully and wholly. Thank You!
