Exodus 12
I love verses 26-27! Our lives should look so different than the rest of the world that it causes our kids to ask why? Why do we do this? What is the story behind this? We should live in such a way that it evokes curiosity from everyone else. I see that happening here in Chapter 12. Since the Israelties were living differently, they were spared and they bowed their heads in worship. May we live differently every day of our lives!!!

OH, I loved this chapter -- all the symbolism. It is describing the sacrifice of Christ and our new creation: precise instructions on how to worship / take communion. Would be fascinating to do a Bible study on all this symbolism in the Bible. Wish I knew the meanings of the unleavened bread / “whoever eats anything with yeast MUST be cut off from the community” The purification & protection: “Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood” And the last judgment: "the Lord struck down all the firstborn". - Sally
ReplyDeleteChapters 11-14. God is one of many specific details just as he knows every hair so he knows the exact thing we need at the exact moment !! He is simply asking us to TRUST him which is such a stretch for me! - Marsha
