Key Verse: 12:17
First, the deep meaning in the Passover Lamb (1-13). The Lord gave instructions concerning the Passover meal. The lamb was without defect. Its blood was put on Israelite doorframes. It was seasoned with bitter herbs, symbolic of their suffering. They ate all of it in haste, with everyone dressed for travel. The sacrifice was a family affair. They bonded with the lamb for 14 days. The whole community sacrificed together, at the end of the day, keeping worship on their minds the entire day. The whole act was very spiritual.
Second commemorating God's redemption (14-28). God wanted his people to commemorate the Passover, letting generation after generation know of God's great love and deliverance. God was very concerned that the children of each succeeding generation knew about it. The account of the Passover has been told since its occurrence around 1400 BC. It is still being told to this very day.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for your redeeming grace that sets us free from sin and death. Help me to share your grace to the next generation.
One Word: Saved by God...tell the whole world
