Passover

Today we celebrate great events in the history of the faith. The first is the Exodus from the land of Egypt, starting with the miracle of the Passover. After repetitive attempts to get the Pharoh to let the children of Israel go, God sent the the Angel of Death through the land. In any home not covered by the blood the firstborn both of man and beast would be slain, and all the gods of Egypt would be judged.

Exodus 12:12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.gods: or, princes
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.to destroy…: Heb. for a destruction

This was unusual if you did not live though it. But having lived through the miracles, the children of Israel believed. This is the same for us who believe in the Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). He was the Passover Lamb.

Mark 14:12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.
16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

So we have much to think about as we keep the Passover.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done in this earth as it is in the heavens – let us keep Your feasts. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our transgressions, and help us to forgive all that have transgressed against us. Restore health and well being to Your people. Set us free with great substance. Restore all good things that have been taken, held back, or hidden in any way from Your people, and that one hundredfold. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
