| Moses – From “The Prince of Egypt” |
Today is actually the first night of Passover it is the 14th day of Nissan the day the Passover Lamb was to be killed and its blood sprinkled on the door posts of the people in Israel so the death angel would “Pass Over” their home. If you haven’t heard or read the story of the Passover it is the amazing story of the miraculous escape by the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt. The Passover Sedar (dinner) that is eaten by Jewish and many christian believers on this night tells that story. To get the whole story you should read from the Bible the book of Exodus chapters 1 through 15. Or you could watch the old movie with Charlton Heston, the Ten Commandments, or my favorite movie of the exodus, the animated “Prince of Egypt.” Anyway….We will have our dinner this year on Saturday night as we co-mingle the entire story of the Passover and Jesus death and resurrection which will be celebrated on Sunday April 20th.
This week I hope to post something everyday to share my thoughts on the story. Today I want to point out the events in the Life of Jesus that show the fulfillment of prophecy and that Jesus was the passover Lamb.
Grace and Peace
