1st Corinthians 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.
God is particular with giving detailed instructions, and He expects every iota to be understood as being essential. The following is a breakdown of 4 of the instructions together with the correct interpretation of what was meant and what they pointed forward to. And as we read, a practical application should also be made, so that whenever our countdown to midnight occurs again, we will be found ready.
[1] Every man a lamb. The Passover Lamb that we read of represented Christ, and as such, every person who desires to be saved in God’s kingdom must make a personal decision to follow Him. Others cannot decide for us, and if our family and friends do not see their need of Christ, then that should not stop, deter, or delay our decision, for we are not saved in groups or by churches, but in single file only.
[2] Take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post. The blood on the door posts represents a person’s acceptance of Christ’s sacrifice on Calvary, where He shed His own blood for our sins. When we read in Revelation chapter 3, “Behold I stand at the door and knock” we are to understand that Christ seeks to offer the merits of His sacrifice to everyone.
1st John 1: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
