—Exodus 12:1-14
by: Tim Bond.
The tenth, and most devastating of the plagues Egypt endured before releasing the Children of Israel is presented here. We learn that God required even His chosen people to follow directions as an act of faith in order to avoid losing their own first-born. Every detail of the sacrifice was enumerated—from choosing the lamb, to daubing its blood on the doorposts and lintels, to the disposal of leftovers. This week’s lesson topic is “Called to Remember.” As the Jews were remembering through the Passover celebration as depicted in later Scriptures this week, Jesus was fulfilling the final Passover as the Sacrificial Lamb leading to the current Christian Easter celebration.
