Go ahead and take your Bibles and turn to Exodus chapter 12. 19:06.500 --> 19:15.500 Exodus 12 will be our text this afternoon and as everybody knows here at our church we read the entire chapter before the preaching. 19:15.500 --> 19:26.500 Exodus chapter 12 the Bible reads, And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 19:26.500 --> 19:34.500 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you. 19:34.500 --> 19:38.500 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, 19:38.500 --> 19:48.500 In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house. 19:48.500 --> 19:58.500 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls. 19:58.500 --> 20:03.500 Every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. 20:03.500 --> 20:08.500 Your lamb shall be without blemish a male of the first year. 20:08.500 --> 20:19.500 You shall take it out of out from the sheep or from the goats, and ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month. 20:19.500 --> 20:24.500 And the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. 20:24.500 --> 20:34.500 And they shall take of the blood and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper doorpost of the houses wherein they shall eat it. 20:34.500 --> 20:45.500 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire and unleavened bread, and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 20:45.500 --> 20:56.500 Eat not of it raw nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire, his head with his legs and with the pertinence thereof. 20:56.500 --> 21:06.500 And ye shall eat and ye shall let nothing of it remain unto the morning, and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. 21:06.500 --> 21:17.500 And thus shall ye eat it with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and ye shall eat it in haste. 21:17.500 --> 21:28.500 It is the Lord's Passover. 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. 21:28.500 --> 21:34.500 And against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment. I am the Lord. 21:34.500 --> 21:40.500 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are. 21:40.500 --> 21:50.500 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. 21:50.500 --> 21:58.500 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations. 21:58.500 --> 22:05.500 Ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever. Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread. 22:05.500 --> 22:18.500 Even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses. For whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day unto the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. 22:18.500 --> 22:29.500 And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation. And in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you. 22:29.500 --> 22:38.500 No manner of work shall be done in them save that which every man must eat. That only may be done of you. 22:38.500 --> 22:47.500 And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. For in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. 22:47.500 --> 22:53.500 Therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance forever. 22:54.500 --> 23:06.500 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at even ye shall eat unleavened bread until the one and twentieth day of the month at even. 23:06.500 --> 23:19.500 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses. For whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel. 23:19.500 --> 23:29.500 Whether he be a stranger or born in the land, ye shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread. 23:29.500 --> 23:39.500 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families and kill the Passover. 23:39.500 --> 23:52.500 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin and strike the lentil and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin. 23:52.500 --> 24:02.500 And none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians. 24:02.500 --> 24:16.500 And when he seeth the blood upon the lentil and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. 24:16.500 --> 24:33.500 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons forever. And it shall come to pass when ye be come to the land which the Lord will give you according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. 24:33.500 --> 24:50.500 And it shall come to pass when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord's Passover who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt. 24:50.500 --> 25:05.500 When he smote the Egyptians and delivered our houses and the people bowed the head and worshiped and the children of Israel went away and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did. 25:05.500 --> 25:22.500 And it came to pass that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon and all the firstborn of cattle. 25:22.500 --> 25:35.500 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians, and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead. 25:35.500 --> 25:48.500 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night and said, Rise up and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel, and go serve the Lord as ye have said. 25:48.500 --> 25:55.500 Also take your flocks and your herds as ye have said, and be gone and bless me also. 25:55.500 --> 26:05.500 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people that they might send them out of the land in haste, for they said, We be all dead men. 26:05.500 --> 26:13.500 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their knee troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. 26:13.500 --> 26:23.500 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses, and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver and jewels of gold and raiment. 26:23.500 --> 26:31.500 And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. 26:31.500 --> 26:34.500 And they spoiled the Egyptians. 26:34.500 --> 26:44.500 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Sukkot, about 600,000 on foot that were men beside children. 26:44.500 --> 26:51.500 And a mixed multitude went up also with them, and flocks and herds, even very much cattle. 26:51.500 --> 27:02.500 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt and could not tarry. 27:02.500 --> 27:06.500 Neither had they prepared for themselves any victual. 27:06.500 --> 27:13.500 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel who dwelt in Egypt was 430 years. 27:13.500 --> 27:24.500 And it came to pass at the end of the 430 years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. 27:24.500 --> 27:32.500 It is a night to be much observed unto the Lord, for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. 27:32.500 --> 27:39.500 This is that night of the Lord to be observed of all the children of Israel and their generations. 27:39.500 --> 27:46.500 And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the Passover. 27:46.500 --> 27:57.500 There shall no stranger eat thereof, but every man servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. 27:57.500 --> 28:04.500 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof. In one house shall it be eaten. 28:04.500 --> 28:12.500 Thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house, neither shall ye break a bone thereof. 28:12.500 --> 28:26.500 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it, and when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the Passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let them come near and keep it. 28:26.500 --> 28:33.500 And he shall be as one that is born in the land, for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. 28:33.500 --> 28:40.500 One law shall be to him that is home born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you. 28:40.500 --> 28:46.500 Thus did all the children of Israel. As the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 28:46.500 --> 28:55.500 And it came to pass the self-same day that the Lord did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies. 28:55.500 --> 28:58.500 Brother Jason, could you please pray for the service? 28:58.500 --> 29:03.500 I thank you for this day, Lord, and I thank you for being with us, Lord, and I thank you for this Easter weekend. 29:03.500 --> 29:10.500 Will you please open our ears and hear the word of your name, Amen. 29:10.500 --> 29:14.500 Amen. 29:14.500 --> 29:25.500 All right, amen. All right, so we just covered Exodus 12, and as you know, this is the great story of basically how the children of Egypt, after so many plagues, they have one more. 29:25.500 --> 29:38.500 It was God's wrath coming upon Egypt, where he took the first born of all that was in Egypt, unless they had the blood of the lamb covering their doorposts, which caused the wrath of God to pass over those doors. 29:38.500 --> 29:43.500 This is where we get the word pass over from in the English language. 29:43.500 --> 29:46.500 But it is very important. Keep your place there in Exodus 12. 29:46.500 --> 29:50.500 We will be calling back, and that will be pretty much a study through many of this chapter. 29:50.500 --> 29:55.500 But before I begin, I want to read 1 Corinthians 5, 1 Corinthians 5. 29:55.500 --> 29:59.500 In 1 Corinthians 5, in verse 6, it says, 30:20.500 --> 30:29.500 So the first thing I want to just start off with is understand this. 30:29.500 --> 30:32.500 The Old Testament was to give a shadow of things to come. 30:32.500 --> 30:38.500 And a lot of the stories, even though they had practical purposes within the stories, a lot of it was to teach us spiritual things. 30:38.500 --> 30:40.500 And let me just start off here. 30:40.500 --> 30:43.500 The Passover was all pointer Christ. 30:43.500 --> 30:44.500 All of it. 30:44.500 --> 30:49.500 Every single part of it in some way was giving you an aspect of basically who Christ was, 30:49.500 --> 30:53.500 what he was going to go through, and why he was going to go through what he did. 30:53.500 --> 30:55.500 And that is what we celebrate today. 30:55.500 --> 31:04.500 But I wanted to talk about the old Passover today and how that was all just leading up to Christ to symbolize what he would do. 31:04.500 --> 31:10.500 And you're back in Exodus 12. Exodus 12, look down at verse 5. 31:10.500 --> 31:12.500 In verse 5 it says, 31:19.500 --> 31:23.500 So understand that there are so many items about the Passover, which is about purity. 31:23.500 --> 31:25.500 It's about a sinless life. 31:25.500 --> 31:33.500 We know that if you were to sacrifice to God, he doesn't want the weak, sickly, slant that you're going to probably kill anyway, 31:33.500 --> 31:36.500 because you just don't want it in your herd. You don't even want to bother to take care of it. 31:36.500 --> 31:39.500 No, he wants the best. He wants the most precious. 31:39.500 --> 31:42.500 And the other parts of the Bible it says without blemish. 31:42.500 --> 31:49.500 And just as sin spots and blemishes are very, are soul, he wants us to be, the sacrifice should be pure. 31:49.500 --> 31:51.500 It should be perfect. 31:51.500 --> 31:53.500 And I already read in 1 Corinthians where it basically says, 31:53.500 --> 31:57.500 the reason why they have unleavened bread is leaven is a symbol of sin. 31:57.500 --> 32:00.500 And just a little bit into your life will go throughout. 32:00.500 --> 32:02.500 It will eventually move throughout. 32:02.500 --> 32:04.500 And any of those that bake, no. 32:04.500 --> 32:08.500 If you give enough time, a little leaven will make the entire loaf leaven. 32:08.500 --> 32:10.500 So it's just many parts, but it's here. 32:10.500 --> 32:14.500 The very first thing is, the lamb should be spotless. 32:14.500 --> 32:16.500 Now what's interesting here is if you read the entire Bible, 32:16.500 --> 32:19.500 we encourage you every year to go through the entire Bible, 32:19.500 --> 32:22.500 you should understand it's not just one lamb. 32:22.500 --> 32:27.500 Throughout the Bible you have symbols pointing towards the lamb. 32:27.500 --> 32:31.500 And the other thing is you look down there, look down at verse 6. 32:31.500 --> 32:37.500 Actually hold on, let me just quickly say, the lamb. 32:37.500 --> 32:41.500 You have Genesis, what did Abel bring? A lamb. 32:41.500 --> 32:44.500 Passover, you must keep it, a lamb. 32:44.500 --> 32:47.500 Throughout the sin offerings you got goat, sheep, lambs, 32:47.500 --> 32:49.500 but it was a perfect sacrifice. 32:49.500 --> 32:53.500 And throughout many places Jesus is referred to as our lamb. 32:53.500 --> 32:56.500 He is our Passover lamb, as even we read this morning. 32:56.500 --> 33:00.500 It's just important to understand, God uses symbols over and over again, 33:00.500 --> 33:03.500 so you cannot deny this if you are a believer. 33:03.500 --> 33:07.500 It is incredible when you hear some of the Jewish fables 33:07.500 --> 33:10.500 on how they interpret this, like, oh no, it's not pointing to anything else, 33:10.500 --> 33:12.500 that's just the only thing it is. 33:12.500 --> 33:15.500 Weird, it's all pointing there, and Jesus was the lamb of God. 33:15.500 --> 33:17.500 It all goes together. 33:17.500 --> 33:20.500 In verse 6 it says, 33:20.500 --> 33:23.500 And ye shall keep it unto the fourteenth day of the same month 33:23.500 --> 33:26.500 as the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel, 33:26.500 --> 33:29.500 and shall kill it in the evening. 33:29.500 --> 33:32.500 It's very important that the lamb, the perfect lamb, 33:32.500 --> 33:34.500 is killed in the evening of this day. 33:34.500 --> 33:36.500 And jump down to verse 18, it says, 33:36.500 --> 33:39.500 In the first month of the fourteenth day of the month, at even, 33:39.500 --> 33:45.500 ye shall eat the unleavened bread until one and twenty days of the month of even. 33:45.500 --> 33:50.500 Passover, here's the thing is, Jesus was killed in the evening. 33:50.500 --> 33:52.500 It's very important that he symbolizes this. 33:52.500 --> 33:56.500 And if you understand, Jesus, when he gives the ordinance of communion, 33:56.500 --> 33:59.500 what are they doing at that time? 33:59.500 --> 34:03.500 He's upholding the Passover. 34:03.500 --> 34:06.500 It says, go before and make the Passover. 34:06.500 --> 34:10.500 It's amazing because God said in time, basically when his son would die, 34:10.500 --> 34:14.500 what's crazy is some people say these are just two separate holidays. 34:14.500 --> 34:16.500 I have actually heard that. 34:16.500 --> 34:19.500 There's Passover, which is a Jewish ritual, 34:19.500 --> 34:23.500 and then there's Easter, that's for the Christians, which is insane. 34:23.500 --> 34:26.500 Because Christ literally celebrated Passover, 34:26.500 --> 34:32.500 richly reminding you that the lamb will be sacrificed so the wrath of God can bypass you. 34:32.500 --> 34:38.500 He literally did that for his disciples, and what immediately happened the next day? 34:38.500 --> 34:42.500 He was sacrificed for the whole world. 34:42.500 --> 34:46.500 The timing was that, thousand years before. 34:46.500 --> 34:49.500 It's not that God was unknown of what was going to happen. 34:49.500 --> 34:54.500 It wasn't like, well, Plan B failed, Plan B failed, Plan C failed. 34:54.500 --> 34:57.500 Well, I guess we'll try Plan D, which will be the Christians. 34:57.500 --> 34:59.500 We'll just fit it in somehow. 34:59.500 --> 35:01.500 No, it was planned from the beginning. 35:01.500 --> 35:06.500 God was always showing you that perfect lamb would be sacrificed, and the time was set. 35:06.500 --> 35:08.500 Christ even said the whole thing. 35:08.500 --> 35:10.500 Why, I think he had, he held up the Passover. 35:10.500 --> 35:12.500 Could he have died in the other day of the year? 35:12.500 --> 35:14.500 He could have, but that would have broken the picture. 35:14.500 --> 35:18.500 He literally held Passover to be realized, hey, think back to what God did. 35:18.500 --> 35:25.500 Hey, Passover was held because God's wrath did not come down to Egypt because of the blood of the lamb. 35:25.500 --> 35:28.500 Let me tell you, the blood of a lamb did not save them. 35:28.500 --> 35:30.500 It was the grace of God. 35:30.500 --> 35:35.500 But he wanted to point to one last time he was the lamb of God before his disciples. 35:35.500 --> 35:42.500 That was the Passover he held and says, now, while we're holding the traditional Passover, let me give you a new ordinance. 35:42.500 --> 35:45.500 Because now you're not looking forward to the sacrifice of the lamb. 35:45.500 --> 35:49.500 You're going to look back, and that's the Lord's Supper that we continue today. 35:49.500 --> 35:51.500 That is the change. 35:51.500 --> 35:53.500 But the change happened there. 35:53.500 --> 35:56.500 He's telling you, remember me until I come before he's even gone. 35:56.500 --> 36:02.500 Because frankly, once he's taken, he can't teach a new ordinance in his bodily ministry. 36:02.500 --> 36:06.500 But he held that because the Passover was always pointed to him. 36:06.500 --> 36:08.500 And I think that's why it's very important. 36:08.500 --> 36:13.500 He had to hold it before he moved forward to his sacrifice. 36:13.500 --> 36:16.500 And here's the thing is, why is it called Passover? 36:16.500 --> 36:20.500 You're still in Exodus 12, I hope, because we'll be there all night. 36:20.500 --> 36:30.500 In verse 7, it says, And they shall take of the blood and strike it upon the two-side post in the upper door post of the house wherein they shall eat. 36:30.500 --> 36:37.500 So you take this spotless lamb, the pure lamb, you kill it, and you take its blood, and you literally put it across the door post. 36:37.500 --> 36:40.500 And of course, they're just told to do this, but it's later explained. 36:40.500 --> 36:52.500 If we jump down to verse 12, it says, For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night and will smite all the firstborn of the land of Egypt, both male and beast, and against all the gods of Egypt I will exude judgment. 36:52.500 --> 36:54.500 I am the Lord. 36:54.500 --> 37:05.500 Verse 13, And the blood shall be to you as a token, be for a token upon your house wherein ye are and wherein ye, when I see the blood, I will pass over. 37:05.500 --> 37:10.500 And the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt. 37:10.500 --> 37:16.500 So understand this, God's last plague to finally get them to release, because God could kill everyone. 37:16.500 --> 37:20.500 He did it during the flood, but was that what he needed to point to? 37:20.500 --> 37:27.500 No. He needed to show God's wrath and poignance and basically break the will of Egypt by taking the firstborn. 37:27.500 --> 37:29.500 Why do you think he did the firstborn? 37:29.500 --> 37:32.500 Why is it that the firstborn is always dedicated to God? 37:32.500 --> 37:37.500 Many times he talks about the firstborn, because Christ is the firstborn. 37:41.500 --> 37:53.500 And that's just important to know, but here's the thing is, why it's called a Passover is because God's wrath passed over all those that had blood upon their mantle. 37:53.500 --> 37:55.500 So isn't it an interesting thing? 37:55.500 --> 38:01.500 In the Old Testament, the picture that points to the New Testament, because everything done in the Old Testament was for a symbol to us, 38:01.500 --> 38:06.500 how does God choose who his wrath will not touch? Is it the best working? 38:06.500 --> 38:11.500 Was it the most wealthy? Was it the ones that swept their house that day? 38:11.500 --> 38:18.500 No, it wasn't anything fleshly. The wrath of God came through and when he saw the blood, he just passed off by. 38:18.500 --> 38:23.500 Let me tell you, it didn't say, oh, it must be the blood in their veins. It must be a racial thing. 38:23.500 --> 38:29.500 No, it's not. During 400 years in Egypt, there was probably some mixing. 38:29.500 --> 38:32.500 You know what? People could join. People could follow. 38:32.500 --> 38:37.500 Isn't it interesting throughout multiple times the Bible says, hey, your servants who you raised in your household, 38:37.500 --> 38:43.500 it just assumes you got them saved and they join part of your house and they keep all the sacrifices as with the Jews. 38:43.500 --> 38:48.500 Because it is those that faith in God that practice with that is hopefully who would do that. 38:48.500 --> 38:54.500 But here, what's it say? The blood. The wrath of God sees the blood and that's what he passes by. 38:55.500 --> 39:00.500 Let me tell you this. Some people try to deny the power of Christ's blood. 39:00.500 --> 39:05.500 No, all the old things point to that. They point to Christ's sacrifice. 39:05.500 --> 39:12.500 It is Christ's blood of which the wrath will never touch us because when God's wrath comes, even the future, 39:12.500 --> 39:16.500 it is, are you anointed by Christ's blood? That means the wrath will bypass you. 39:16.500 --> 39:21.500 That is part of the picture of the Passover. It is so important to understand that. 39:21.500 --> 39:25.500 Keep a place there but turn to Hebrews 10. Hebrews 10. 39:25.500 --> 39:30.500 Because it is so important to understand why it is so special to remember even the Old Testament, 39:30.500 --> 39:37.500 how did God's wrath avoid people? It wasn't that it was the sacrificial blood that God saw that said, 39:37.500 --> 39:41.500 I'm not going to bring wrath upon this household. It wasn't interesting. 39:41.500 --> 39:48.500 You should look at it and go, you know, it wasn't that just there was one people that practiced that and saved everyone. 39:48.500 --> 39:53.500 It was down to the household. It's a personal thing. 39:53.500 --> 39:58.500 And why I say that, some people are like, well, you know, my uncle, my father was a pastor, 39:58.500 --> 40:02.500 my great-great-grandfather, I think he wrote a Bible once. I mean, I'm good. 40:02.500 --> 40:07.500 No, no, it's personal. And even though I don't think you need to get saved every year, 40:07.500 --> 40:13.500 understand the practice of Passover, your household needs to do it. You need to do it. 40:14.500 --> 40:18.500 They need, it was a personal decision if you're going to keep the Passover. 40:18.500 --> 40:22.500 And I don't think you need to get saved older or older again. I think that's breaking the picture. 40:22.500 --> 40:27.500 But the picture is this. It was a very personal thing. It came down to the household. 40:27.500 --> 40:31.500 Each household needs to do that. Let me tell you, you're like, oh, you know, my family lives mostly next door. 40:31.500 --> 40:38.500 They did. I'm good. They probably weren't good the next day because they didn't keep the word of God. 40:38.500 --> 40:42.500 They didn't have the faith to just dip the hip in there and just mark their door 40:42.500 --> 40:49.500 with the blood of the sacrifice. You need to keep that. And here's the thing, I turned to have you keep the Hebrews 10. 40:49.500 --> 40:54.500 Look down at verse one. For the law having a shadow of good things to come. 40:54.500 --> 40:59.500 Let me tell you, the law is the Old Testament. The law was the Bible that they had received at the time of Jesus. 40:59.500 --> 41:05.500 For the law having a shadow of good things to come and not the very image of the thing can never, 41:05.500 --> 41:11.500 with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually, make the coming thereunto perfect. 41:11.500 --> 41:20.500 For then would they have not ceased to be offered because that the worshiper once purged should have no more constants of sin. 41:20.500 --> 41:24.500 But in those sacrifices, there is a remembrance again made to sin every year. 41:24.500 --> 41:29.500 For it is not possible that the blood of bull and goats should take away sin. 41:29.500 --> 41:37.500 Wherefore, when he come into the world, he said, sacrifice and offerings thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared. 41:37.500 --> 41:41.500 In the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the sin thou hast no pleasure. 41:41.500 --> 41:48.500 Then I say, Lo, I come. In the volume of the books it is written of me, To do thy will, O God. 41:48.500 --> 41:56.500 Above when he said, sacrifice and offerings, and burnt offerings, and offerings for sin, thou wouldest not, neither hast pleasure therein, 41:56.500 --> 42:02.500 which are offered by the law. Then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. 42:02.500 --> 42:12.500 He taketh away the first, and he may establish the second, by the which we will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 42:12.500 --> 42:16.500 And I understand there was a lot, and you weren't following, basically what it's saying is this. 42:16.500 --> 42:20.500 All the old law was done to point towards Christ. 42:20.500 --> 42:25.500 And even though you'd sacrifice bulls and goats and all that, understand none of that took away your sin. 42:25.500 --> 42:31.500 But what it was showing, the sacrifice that would come to purge all of us was to Christ. 42:31.500 --> 42:37.500 And why the Old Testament is not kept anymore was it was an imperfect sign pointing towards Christ. 42:37.500 --> 42:42.500 And now that we have Christ, we keep the perfect faith of Christ moving forward. 42:42.500 --> 42:50.500 Because it was through his sacrifice and through the offering of his body that we are made one with God. 42:50.500 --> 42:53.500 That is the picture of the Old Testament. 42:53.500 --> 42:56.500 The Passover was just a very direct showing of that. 42:56.500 --> 43:03.500 The killing of the blemish lamb back then to put the blood over the death post was just pointing to what Christ would do. 43:03.500 --> 43:13.500 His death, his burial, his resurrection, he offering his blood on top of the holy tabernacle in God to atone for our sins. 43:13.500 --> 43:16.500 That is our salvation. 43:16.500 --> 43:18.500 That is what we need. 43:18.500 --> 43:20.500 Go back to Exodus 12. 43:20.500 --> 43:22.500 Just understand all the Old Testament was this way. 43:22.500 --> 43:24.500 It was a picture of things to come. 43:24.500 --> 43:26.500 It was a picture to Christ. 43:26.500 --> 43:29.500 Exodus 12 and verse 8. 43:29.500 --> 43:31.500 Exodus 12 and verse 8. 43:31.500 --> 43:41.500 In verse 8 it says, And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire and unleavened bread, and with a bitter herb they shall eat it. 43:41.500 --> 43:51.500 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden with all with water, but roast with fire, his head with his legs, and with the pertinence thereof. 43:51.500 --> 44:01.500 And yet there shall yet nothing of it remain until the morning, and that which remained until the morning ye shall burn with fire. 44:01.500 --> 44:08.500 So let me understand, like, if you focus on there, what is the punishment that this lamb is going through? 44:08.500 --> 44:10.500 You will burn it. 44:10.500 --> 44:14.500 You will saunen it with fire. 44:14.500 --> 44:16.500 You're not allowed to have it raw. 44:16.500 --> 44:17.500 You're not allowed to cook it. 44:17.500 --> 44:22.500 I don't know why you would boil meat, but, you know, we like it seared, all right? 44:22.500 --> 44:28.500 But I'm just saying, God literally says you will not saunen it with water, which you're not throwing it into a pot to make soup with it. 44:28.500 --> 44:34.500 You love lamb soup, you have 300 and many other days of the year to do that. 44:34.500 --> 44:36.500 But what it's saying is you will take the whole lamb. 44:36.500 --> 44:42.500 It even says to the foot and the head, you will burn it with fire. 44:42.500 --> 44:45.500 And then you will consume the entire sacrifice. 44:45.500 --> 44:51.500 And if your family can't consume it all, you burn it all because it is a whole burnt sacrifice for you. 44:51.500 --> 44:54.500 And it is very important. 44:54.500 --> 44:56.500 And he literally said, this is how you will do it. 44:56.500 --> 45:00.500 Understand, you will burn it with fire. 45:00.500 --> 45:03.500 Keep your place and turn to Acts 2. 45:03.500 --> 45:05.500 Acts 2. 45:05.500 --> 45:11.500 Acts 2 and Acts 2.24, it says, Whom God has raised up, having loosened the pains of death, 45:11.500 --> 45:15.500 because it was not possible that he should beholden of it. 45:15.500 --> 45:23.500 For David speaketh concerning him, I first saw the Lord always before my face, for he was on my right hand, that he should not be moved. 45:23.500 --> 45:26.500 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad. 45:26.500 --> 45:37.500 Moreover, also my flesh shall rest in hope, because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption. 45:37.500 --> 45:43.500 Understand, even David spoke of the one who would come, not being left in hell. 45:43.500 --> 45:46.500 Why is the lamb being burnt? 45:46.500 --> 45:49.500 People get upset that we teach this here. 45:49.500 --> 45:53.500 Christ literally paid for your sins in hell. 45:53.500 --> 46:05.500 He descended for three days and three nights into the heart of the earth, which the heart of the earth, even science says, is literally fire and burning beyond our copper hitchet of heat. 46:05.500 --> 46:07.500 It is reinforced in Matthew 12 and 40. 46:07.500 --> 46:09.500 You go ahead and turn back to Acts 12. 46:09.500 --> 46:19.500 Matthew 12 says, For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the well's belly, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 46:19.500 --> 46:22.500 Understand, the Passover lamb had to be burnt. 46:22.500 --> 46:23.500 It had to be burnt whole. 46:23.500 --> 46:26.500 You had to take of the burnt flesh. 46:26.500 --> 46:30.500 And if you couldn't finish that lamb, the rest of it had to be burnt completely. 46:30.500 --> 46:31.500 It's not a partial. 46:31.500 --> 46:33.500 It's not a this. 46:33.500 --> 46:34.500 It's not just the best cuts of meat. 46:34.500 --> 46:44.500 All of it is to be burnt because it is a full burnt offering because it was pointing towards what Christ would have to do for us for three days and three nights. 46:44.500 --> 46:47.500 He descended into hell paying for our sins. 46:47.500 --> 46:49.500 Yes, he tormented on the cross. 46:49.500 --> 46:55.500 Yes, he was rejected in this flesh to show us in the most clear way in flesh how to suffer. 46:55.500 --> 47:00.500 But we believe in deeper that he actually suffered spiritually for us. 47:00.500 --> 47:09.500 And I believe that is why the lamb must be burnt because it shows what Christ did for us. 47:09.500 --> 47:12.500 If you're back in Exodus 12, we can do right along. 47:12.500 --> 47:23.500 Verse 11, Exodus 12, verse 11, it says, And thou shalt eat it with your lines girdled and your shoes on your feet and your staff in your hand and shall eat in haste. 47:23.500 --> 47:26.500 It is your Lord's Passover. 47:26.500 --> 47:28.500 Understand this. 47:28.500 --> 47:32.500 You know, this church, we believe that the Lord's Supper should be taken seriously. 47:32.500 --> 47:34.500 It should be a time of solon. 47:34.500 --> 47:35.500 It's not a time to hang out. 47:35.500 --> 47:38.500 It's not a time that we just feast fellowship. 47:38.500 --> 47:39.500 We love doing those things. 47:39.500 --> 47:41.500 But this is not the time to do it. 47:41.500 --> 47:47.500 And I believe this is kind of a symbol of why this is now practically the reason they're eating it. 47:47.500 --> 47:51.500 Hey, says, Hey, you eat this and you finish the Passover, you burn it all because you guess what? 47:51.500 --> 47:54.500 Egypt wants you gone in the morning. 47:54.500 --> 48:04.500 The reason practically they had no leaven in their bread was that quickly prepare as they leave their homes that they've always known and they had to get out of Egypt and flee into the desert. 48:04.500 --> 48:06.500 It says in the chapter. 48:06.500 --> 48:08.500 That is why they didn't have time to make it leaven. 48:08.500 --> 48:17.500 But as I read at the beginning of this, leaven is a symbol of sin, which is why spiritually we see they partake in no leaven. 48:17.500 --> 48:19.500 And I believe in the Lord's Supper. 48:19.500 --> 48:21.500 That is why we don't have it. 48:21.500 --> 48:22.500 You have to take up. 48:22.500 --> 48:28.500 You have to break up the sinless flesh and we rip apart the bread, which symbolizes Christ in the New Testament. 48:28.500 --> 48:35.500 But even in the past, so it kept it and even says if you eat leaven during this picture, because everything in the Old Testament is a picture. 48:35.500 --> 48:38.500 He literally says they are cast out. 48:38.500 --> 48:39.500 Get out. 48:39.500 --> 48:41.500 You are not of the children. 48:41.500 --> 48:42.500 That is a harsh punishment. 48:42.500 --> 48:45.500 And a lot of people are like, well, the Old Testament guy was cruel. 48:45.500 --> 48:46.500 No, no, no. 48:46.500 --> 48:54.500 He wanted it was a perfect picture so that if you for a thousand years have all these pictures leading to the Christ, you have no excuse to not understand who this is. 48:54.500 --> 48:57.500 But he did. 48:57.500 --> 49:01.500 But he says you must eat it and hate it with your shoes on. 49:01.500 --> 49:04.500 You weren't coming over to just hang out with this feast. 49:04.500 --> 49:07.500 It was not how we celebrate Thanksgiving or that. 49:07.500 --> 49:13.500 It wasn't, even though you did it with your family, it is to be done quickly and seriously. 49:13.500 --> 49:19.500 And I believe that's why we try to be serious with the Lord's Supper now. 49:19.500 --> 49:22.500 In verse 14, this is still Exodus 12, verse 14. 49:22.500 --> 49:25.500 And this day shall be unto you a memorial. 49:25.500 --> 49:29.500 You shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations. 49:29.500 --> 49:33.500 You shall keep the feast by the ordinance for ever. 49:33.500 --> 49:36.500 And understand this. 49:36.500 --> 49:48.500 I believe the way we keep this now is the Lord's Supper because we're not looking forward to the coming Christ, the sacrificial lamb that will take away the sins of the earth and bypass God's wrath by his blood. 49:48.500 --> 49:51.500 We're looking back at honoring him until he comes. 49:51.500 --> 49:57.500 So I believe we still some people bring up, well, you don't really believe the Bible because you're not keeping his ordinance. 49:57.500 --> 50:01.500 And it says, well, until Jesus comes, no, it says forever. 50:01.500 --> 50:05.500 Well, we are because Christ is the Passover lamb. 50:05.500 --> 50:13.500 So we are keeping the sacrifice because he kept the sacrifice and we remember him for that sacrifice. 50:13.500 --> 50:17.500 But here's the thing is, understand this has been throughout. 50:17.500 --> 50:21.500 This is the Passover Jesus held before his disciples. 50:21.500 --> 50:26.500 All right. Abel was a keeper of sheep and he brought the first laying of the flocks for the sheep. 50:26.500 --> 50:33.500 Also, if you think of Abraham, he said the Lord will provide a sacrifice. 50:33.500 --> 50:38.500 He was probably hoping to keep his son. But did the Lord provide his own sacrifice to take away the sins of this world? 50:38.500 --> 50:42.500 He absolutely did. He brought forth the Lamb of God. 50:42.500 --> 50:49.500 But Abraham, the father of our faith, by faith, you know, was willing to do whatever he could for the Lord. 50:49.500 --> 50:51.500 And God provided the sacrifice that day. 50:51.500 --> 50:57.500 That was yet another picture showing God will provide his sacrifice of what he wants. 50:57.500 --> 51:02.500 He did in the son, Jesus, the patriarchs, all shepherds. 51:02.500 --> 51:08.500 Why? They were never excused to not have a lamb to keep that picture. 51:08.500 --> 51:11.500 The sacrifice was to be a pure lamb with no blemishes. 51:11.500 --> 51:14.500 Keep your place in Exodus 12, but you can turn to John 1. 51:14.500 --> 51:18.500 John 1 with me. 51:18.500 --> 51:21.500 John 1, looking down at verse 29. 51:21.500 --> 51:31.500 John 21, verse 29, it says, The next day, John, see if Jesus coming unto him and said, Behold the Lamb of God, 51:31.500 --> 51:34.500 which taketh away the sins of the world. 51:34.500 --> 51:43.500 This is he whom I said, After me comeeth a man which is preferred before me, for he was before me. 51:43.500 --> 51:50.500 John, the greatest man who ever lived outside of the kingdom of God by the Bible says, 51:50.500 --> 51:53.500 literally said, This is the Lamb of God. 51:53.500 --> 51:57.500 And he mostly was speaking to a Jewish people coming out to the desert. 51:57.500 --> 52:00.500 It wasn't that, oh, this is just so new. No one could see this. 52:00.500 --> 52:02.500 They were waiting for their Messiah to come. 52:02.500 --> 52:05.500 And John literally says, Here he is. 52:05.500 --> 52:09.500 Now some of them were like, Oh, well, they're going to give us freedom from Rome. 52:09.500 --> 52:11.500 No, he's going to give you freedom from this world. 52:11.500 --> 52:14.500 But not in this world. 52:14.500 --> 52:15.500 This is our lamb. 52:15.500 --> 52:20.500 And John was obviously pointing because did you do a lamb with the Abrahamic religion? 52:20.500 --> 52:22.500 You sacrificed it. 52:22.500 --> 52:25.500 People knew that this is what it was. 52:25.500 --> 52:30.500 It's only the modern, rabbinical priesthood that rejects this. 52:30.500 --> 52:32.500 They understood what was to come. 52:32.500 --> 52:35.500 They rejected it. 52:35.500 --> 52:38.500 You turn to Romans five, Romans five in first Corinthians five. 52:38.500 --> 52:42.500 It says, For Christ, our Passover is sacrificed to us. 52:42.500 --> 52:50.500 First, Peter one verse 18 says, For as much as you know that you were not redeemed with corrupt things as silver or gold, 52:50.500 --> 52:54.500 for your vain conversation received by traditions from your fathers, 52:54.500 --> 52:59.500 but with the precious blood of Christ as our lamb without blemish, without spot, 52:59.500 --> 53:03.500 who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, 53:03.500 --> 53:10.500 but was manifest these last times for you, whom by him do believe in God, 53:10.500 --> 53:17.500 that raised him up from the dead and gave him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God. 53:17.500 --> 53:20.500 Understand, if you're keeping the Passover in mind from the Bible, 53:20.500 --> 53:21.500 what he just said is amazing. 53:21.500 --> 53:24.500 This is our lamb and it is by his blood that we are saved. 53:24.500 --> 53:26.500 That is literally the Passover fulfilled. 53:26.500 --> 53:30.500 Jesus fulfills the Passover forever. 53:30.500 --> 53:36.500 And this is why in this church, look, if you decide to have lamb today, great. 53:36.500 --> 53:41.500 But you're not keeping the Passover because I know none of you are rich enough to buy full lamb in America right now. 53:41.500 --> 53:44.500 And you're not building a big enough fire to get rid of it. 53:44.500 --> 53:50.500 So if you have lamb, be respectful, but please don't say, well, I'm keeping Passover 53:50.500 --> 53:52.500 because Christ has come. 53:52.500 --> 53:58.500 The picture was fulfilled by the actual fulfillment. 53:58.500 --> 54:03.500 Remember Christ today on the day of resurrection because the Passover is pointing to him. 54:03.500 --> 54:04.500 He was greater than that. 54:04.500 --> 54:10.500 And by his blood, God's wrath will overpass all those that are sealed by him. 54:10.500 --> 54:15.500 For God's wrath cannot touch us just like he couldn't touch the children of Israel 54:15.500 --> 54:19.500 because God's wrath will overpass everyone that is washed in the blood of Christ. 54:19.500 --> 54:22.500 It is not by your blood. It is not by your works. 54:22.500 --> 54:25.500 It's not by your actions, you know, all the things. 54:25.500 --> 54:32.500 It is that did you have faith to receive the blood and by him, you know, by his works. 54:32.500 --> 54:38.500 And he is, you are sealed and beyond God's wrath. 54:38.500 --> 54:43.500 And is that because I think a lot of times, sometimes a man, I'm bad, you know, and I'm going to get punished. 54:43.500 --> 54:44.500 Like sometimes you might have doubt. 54:44.500 --> 54:46.500 Look to the children of Israel. 54:46.500 --> 54:49.500 It was not by their work God's wrath bypassed them. 54:49.500 --> 54:54.500 It was by keeping faith of God and the wrath of God. 54:54.500 --> 54:59.500 The destroyer, as it says in the Bible, came through the land. 54:59.500 --> 55:04.500 He didn't look at their actions, didn't look at their history, didn't look at what they would do in the future, 55:04.500 --> 55:06.500 didn't look at anything. 55:06.500 --> 55:10.500 He's just like the blood of the sacrifice move on. 55:10.500 --> 55:13.500 And that should reassure you. 55:13.500 --> 55:14.500 That should let you know. 55:14.500 --> 55:16.500 Look, it's not a hell that we miss. 55:16.500 --> 55:19.500 We will not be touched by God's wrath. 55:19.500 --> 55:23.500 Not this is it's just beautiful. 55:23.500 --> 55:29.500 And that is what we celebrate today at Easter Passover, rectorate, resurrection Sunday, whatever you want to call it. 55:29.500 --> 55:37.500 You can celebrate this for the rest of days every day because this is the sacrifice that we know that keeps us from God's wrath. 55:37.500 --> 55:42.500 And you're in Romans 5 and verse 8 it says, 55:42.500 --> 56:10.500 It's always amazing to me when you find people that are like, well, it's not his blood. 56:10.500 --> 56:12.500 Well, it's not his death. 56:12.500 --> 56:15.500 Well, it's like, no, it's all of it. 56:15.500 --> 56:18.500 Look, we focus a lot on his death, burial, resurrection. 56:18.500 --> 56:19.500 But what was it that he did? 56:19.500 --> 56:22.500 He took his blood and offered it as a sacrifice. 56:22.500 --> 56:23.500 And you know what? 56:23.500 --> 56:27.500 Sometimes not everyone we go to may be refined on this, but it is what it is. 56:27.500 --> 56:29.500 It is his blood. 56:29.500 --> 56:32.500 It's throughout the Bible and people denying this. 56:32.500 --> 56:33.500 It's nuts. 56:33.500 --> 56:38.500 And it's like something like, well, you know, it's just different in the Old Testament. 56:38.500 --> 56:41.500 The Old Testament is pointing to the New Testament. 56:41.500 --> 56:42.500 Look, they may have done things. 56:42.500 --> 56:47.500 Yes, the unleavened bread was for necessity of travel through the wood, but it was for a spiritual picture. 56:47.500 --> 56:53.500 And he wanted them to keep it every year forever until he changed the ordinance. 56:53.500 --> 56:55.500 The old has withered and blown away. 56:55.500 --> 56:57.500 The new has replaced it. 56:57.500 --> 56:59.500 But why was it there? 56:59.500 --> 57:00.500 It wasn't there for no reason. 57:00.500 --> 57:05.500 It was to point and teach us about Christ and his sacrifice. 57:05.500 --> 57:07.500 It was his blood. 57:07.500 --> 57:10.500 We shall be saved from the wrath through him. 57:10.500 --> 57:17.500 It's just pointing back to the Passover and John nine, verse nine, it says, I am the door by me. 57:17.500 --> 57:24.500 If any man enter in, he shall be saved and he shall go in and out and find pasture. 57:24.500 --> 57:36.500 Look, we may not put the blood upon our own doorpost in the New Testament, but I hope you go through the door post of Christ for his blood is what will bypass the wrath of God. 57:36.500 --> 57:46.500 Even today turned to Revelation 12, Revelation 12, Revelation 12 and verse 10. 57:46.500 --> 57:49.500 And I heard a loud voice saying from heaven. 57:49.500 --> 58:01.500 Now it comes to salvation of strength in the kingdom of God and the power of his Christ from the accuser of the brethren is cast down, which accuses them before God day and night. 58:01.500 --> 58:09.500 And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of his testimony. 58:09.500 --> 58:12.500 And they love not their lives unto death. 58:12.500 --> 58:25.500 Understand at the end of time and in the world when when Satan is literally cast down, he's no longer to accuse you and everyone else and everyone through time before God day and night accusing everyone. 58:25.500 --> 58:35.500 He has cast down and everyone there will be saved and secured in heaven because of the blood of the lamb. 58:35.500 --> 58:37.500 How do you know the blood of the lamb? 58:37.500 --> 58:41.500 By the word of their testimony, the words of God. 58:41.500 --> 58:42.500 Christ is the word of God. 58:42.500 --> 58:46.500 You know what he tells you about the blood of his sacrifice. 58:46.500 --> 58:50.500 He is the lamb of God that was sacrificed for the world. 58:50.500 --> 58:56.500 And this was all pointing from the picture of Passover. 58:56.500 --> 58:59.500 Turn back to access 12 place and hopefully you kept a point there. 58:59.500 --> 59:03.500 We will always be returning back to the Passover. 59:03.500 --> 59:13.500 I'm not sure, but. 59:13.500 --> 59:17.500 Next is 12 and verse 21 access 12 and verse 21. 59:17.500 --> 59:25.500 Then Moses called for the elders of Israel and said of them, draw out and take your lamb according to your families and kill the Passover. 59:25.500 --> 59:37.500 And he shall take a bunch of his and dip it in blood that it is of a basin and strike the lentil of the two side post with blood that is a bastion. 59:37.500 --> 59:45.500 And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning, for the Lord will pass through and smite the Egyptians. 59:45.500 --> 59:54.500 And when he see the blood upon the lentil and all the Jews, the Lord will pass over the door and will not suffer the destroyer to come into your house. 59:54.500 --> 59:57.500 This might you. 59:57.500 --> 59:59.500 And understand. 59:59.500 --> 01:00:03.500 I said this, that the destroyer is coming through. 01:00:03.500 --> 01:00:05.500 He's not looking upon you. 01:00:05.500 --> 01:00:07.500 Frankly, we try to teach. 01:00:07.500 --> 01:00:09.500 We had to explain this to this gentleman today. 01:00:09.500 --> 01:00:12.500 Actually, look, it is what Christ did. 01:00:12.500 --> 01:00:13.500 Yes. 01:00:13.500 --> 01:00:14.500 Are you a sinner? 01:00:14.500 --> 01:00:15.500 100 percent. 01:00:15.500 --> 01:00:17.500 Are you going to sit in the future? 01:00:17.500 --> 01:00:20.500 Guaranteed. 01:00:20.500 --> 01:00:21.500 Well, what if it's bad? 01:00:21.500 --> 01:00:24.500 You're not doing the way God views. 01:00:24.500 --> 01:00:29.500 God's wrath comes down and he sees the blood of Christ. 01:00:29.500 --> 01:00:30.500 Move on. 01:00:30.500 --> 01:00:34.500 Parts of the Bible, it says, I will not impute sin upon you. 01:00:34.500 --> 01:00:46.500 When Christ, when David committed his great sin and he said, Lord, forgive me, he says, I'm not going to put the sin upon you, but you will be punished on this earth. 01:00:46.500 --> 01:00:47.500 You are saved. 01:00:47.500 --> 01:00:51.500 You will remain in the book of life, which means you will have eternity. 01:00:51.500 --> 01:00:58.500 But let me tell you, God's wrath just sees that blood of and he will not bring his wrath upon the blood of his own son. 01:00:58.500 --> 01:01:02.500 That is the atonement. 01:01:02.500 --> 01:01:03.500 It's not that we're good. 01:01:03.500 --> 01:01:05.500 It's not that we deserve it. 01:01:05.500 --> 01:01:07.500 It's not that we're even worthy because we're not. 01:01:07.500 --> 01:01:16.500 But because he is so worthy and he wishes to basically put us under the protection by the sealing of his own blood. 01:01:16.500 --> 01:01:23.500 That is the strength that Christ has sealed us by his own blood and all this. 01:01:23.500 --> 01:01:25.500 So if you're ever worried, like what about God's wrath? 01:01:25.500 --> 01:01:26.500 What about the anger? 01:01:26.500 --> 01:01:29.500 What about what you deserve? 01:01:29.500 --> 01:01:36.500 Because sometimes that makes us weak in faith like, man, I even I think I probably deserve to be punished. 01:01:36.500 --> 01:01:38.500 And here's the truth. 01:01:38.500 --> 01:01:41.500 You're right. 01:01:41.500 --> 01:01:43.500 That can be hard for Christians. 01:01:43.500 --> 01:01:44.500 And here's the thing. 01:01:44.500 --> 01:01:46.500 It should humble us. 01:01:46.500 --> 01:01:54.500 But what should redeem us and reflect upon us and bring us to life is that we are under literally the blood atonement of Christ. 01:01:54.500 --> 01:02:02.500 And God's wrath cannot touch us, not just because God is not a liar, but he's already his son's already gone through so much. 01:02:02.500 --> 01:02:06.500 He's not going to bring more punishment upon the blood of his own son. 01:02:06.500 --> 01:02:13.500 Sacrifice for a world that is for the most part unacknowledging, doesn't respect it, doesn't do that. 01:02:13.500 --> 01:02:19.500 But we are sealed under that, just like all the Israelis in Egypt at that time, which is a symbol of a world. 01:02:19.500 --> 01:02:22.500 When his wrath comes, it doesn't matter what they were. 01:02:22.500 --> 01:02:24.500 Certainly some of them were horrible people. 01:02:24.500 --> 01:02:26.500 Some of them may have been good. 01:02:26.500 --> 01:02:32.500 That is at the time of judgment, not what gets them saved is that the blood is there. 01:02:32.500 --> 01:02:34.500 And that is how it is chosen. 01:02:34.500 --> 01:02:36.500 And Christ sacrificed. 01:02:36.500 --> 01:02:42.500 He was the blood of the lamb of the New Testament. 01:02:42.500 --> 01:02:45.500 We're still in Exodus 12. Look down at verse 43. 01:02:45.500 --> 01:02:51.500 Exodus 12 down in verse 43. 01:02:51.500 --> 01:02:56.500 And it says, And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is an ordinance of the Passover. 01:02:56.500 --> 01:03:06.500 There shall no stranger eat thereof, but every man's servant that is brought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, thou shall eat thereof. 01:03:06.500 --> 01:03:10.500 A foreigner and his hired servant shall not eat thereof. 01:03:10.500 --> 01:03:13.500 In the house it shall be eaten. 01:03:13.500 --> 01:03:20.500 Thou shall not carry forth out of the flesh abroad of the house, neither shall ye break a bone thereof. 01:03:20.500 --> 01:03:22.500 Now I'll just stop right there. 01:03:22.500 --> 01:03:29.500 Isn't it interesting that the Bible very clearly in multiple gospels let you know not a bone was broken in Christ. 01:03:29.500 --> 01:03:35.500 Now the guards, they went to the thief with a hammer because they're like, it's getting late in the day. 01:03:35.500 --> 01:03:38.500 You know, I don't want to put in overtime today. 01:03:38.500 --> 01:03:40.500 It's Easter right now. 01:03:40.500 --> 01:03:42.500 That's the wrong timing. Sorry. 01:03:42.500 --> 01:03:44.500 Obviously that was a few days later. 01:03:44.500 --> 01:03:52.500 But what I mean is they brought a hammer to literally break the knees of the thief so they would suffocate more. 01:03:52.500 --> 01:03:55.500 But they came to Christ and he'd already died. 01:03:55.500 --> 01:03:57.500 So they didn't do it. 01:03:57.500 --> 01:04:02.500 And multiple places they say not a bone was broken. 01:04:02.500 --> 01:04:05.500 He was pierced with a spear. 01:04:05.500 --> 01:04:06.500 He was whipped. 01:04:06.500 --> 01:04:07.500 He was beaten. 01:04:07.500 --> 01:04:09.500 He had many pains. 01:04:09.500 --> 01:04:12.500 Bruised for our iniquities. 01:04:12.500 --> 01:04:14.500 He had nails through his hand. 01:04:14.500 --> 01:04:17.500 But not one bone was broken. 01:04:17.500 --> 01:04:20.500 Because he had to keep. 01:04:20.500 --> 01:04:23.500 The Passover was a picture. 01:04:23.500 --> 01:04:27.500 Why did you not cut off the hooves or the neck of the Passover? 01:04:27.500 --> 01:04:30.500 No bones would be broken in the Passover lamb. 01:04:30.500 --> 01:04:32.500 It was an ordinance. 01:04:32.500 --> 01:04:36.500 And Christ kept that ordinance until he fulfilled it. 01:04:36.500 --> 01:04:38.500 Verse 47 it says, 01:05:03.500 --> 01:05:07.500 Why I just had these verses read is this. 01:05:07.500 --> 01:05:11.500 No broken bone is just another picture to the New Testament that Christ did. 01:05:11.500 --> 01:05:13.500 But he's basically saying this. 01:05:13.500 --> 01:05:20.500 If someone's just driving through, like you're in the Middle East, there's a Hindu trader coming through the land during your Passover. 01:05:20.500 --> 01:05:22.500 He's not going to keep this. 01:05:22.500 --> 01:05:24.500 This isn't for him. 01:05:24.500 --> 01:05:29.500 But if there's someone soul journeying, and what soul journeying was is he's living among you. 01:05:29.500 --> 01:05:31.500 And it says he wants to keep it. 01:05:31.500 --> 01:05:33.500 He's in your land. 01:05:33.500 --> 01:05:34.500 He's a foreigner. 01:05:34.500 --> 01:05:35.500 He's not from here. 01:05:35.500 --> 01:05:37.500 He wasn't born a child of Israel. 01:05:37.500 --> 01:05:42.500 But he's soul journeying among you and he's like, yeah, I want to honor the one true God. 01:05:42.500 --> 01:05:47.500 He says he shall be as he is born there. 01:05:47.500 --> 01:05:52.500 In many places in the Bible it says, hey, he shall become an inheritance with whoever he lives there. 01:05:52.500 --> 01:05:53.500 Because guess what? 01:05:53.500 --> 01:05:54.500 It wasn't about blood. 01:05:54.500 --> 01:05:57.500 It was about honoring the true God. 01:05:57.500 --> 01:06:00.500 That is what the, it even says right there. 01:06:00.500 --> 01:06:07.500 It says even though he's, as long as he's basically, he wants to keep the commandments of God and be lived and actually hold the Passover to honor God. 01:06:07.500 --> 01:06:14.500 Hey, as long as he's circumcised, which at that time was this physical symbol that you would be a child of God. 01:06:14.500 --> 01:06:17.500 Yes, he should keep the Passover. 01:06:17.500 --> 01:06:18.500 And guess what? 01:06:18.500 --> 01:06:19.500 There should be no law. 01:06:19.500 --> 01:06:21.500 Well, I was born here. 01:06:21.500 --> 01:06:24.500 Now that's not how the law works. 01:06:24.500 --> 01:06:27.500 The law of God is you want to be a child of God. 01:06:27.500 --> 01:06:29.500 This is there's one for all. 01:06:29.500 --> 01:06:30.500 Doesn't matter that you weren't born here. 01:06:30.500 --> 01:06:32.500 You weren't raised a Jew from birth. 01:06:32.500 --> 01:06:33.500 That wasn't the problem. 01:06:33.500 --> 01:06:36.500 You soldier in there and wow, wow, this is true God. 01:06:36.500 --> 01:06:40.500 I need to keep this ordinance because I want to be of the people of God. 01:06:40.500 --> 01:06:42.500 They said, yeah, correct. 01:06:42.500 --> 01:06:44.500 Now that's obviously not what the Jews did. 01:06:44.500 --> 01:06:48.500 This is what was commanded of them because God didn't care how you were born. 01:06:48.500 --> 01:06:50.500 The Jews were supposed to be a lot. 01:06:50.500 --> 01:06:51.500 And I'm sorry. 01:06:51.500 --> 01:06:56.500 Israel was supposed to be a light to all nations for God. 01:06:56.500 --> 01:06:58.500 But they didn't go out and win people. 01:06:58.500 --> 01:07:00.500 That was one of their faults. 01:07:00.500 --> 01:07:07.500 But right here in this ordinance, because I said there's other places in the law where it says, hey, people come and move with on you and they honor God. 01:07:07.500 --> 01:07:08.500 They want to be part of people. 01:07:08.500 --> 01:07:10.500 They inherit with you. 01:07:10.500 --> 01:07:13.500 Well, their father wasn't Abraham. 01:07:13.500 --> 01:07:15.500 Spiritually, it was. 01:07:15.500 --> 01:07:17.500 That was true in the Old Testament. 01:07:17.500 --> 01:07:21.500 And you are if you are unaware, that is true now. 01:07:21.500 --> 01:07:28.500 So when people tell me, well, I'm of the tribe Levi, that's why I am the Messiah, as someone did yesterday. 01:07:28.500 --> 01:07:33.500 I won't even go there because they that's not even Jewish belief. 01:07:33.500 --> 01:07:34.500 That was just this person. 01:07:34.500 --> 01:07:39.500 Like they literally told me I'm not waiting for a Messiah because I am part of the Messiah. 01:07:40.500 --> 01:07:42.500 There was no humbleness there. 01:07:42.500 --> 01:07:44.500 So that person did not receive. 01:07:44.500 --> 01:07:48.500 So they will miss out on the true Passover. 01:07:48.500 --> 01:08:00.500 But why I want you to read this part is even in the part of just the Passover, they just remind you this is for all those that want to honor God to keep this picture of the coming. 01:08:00.500 --> 01:08:03.500 It's not about whether they were born or they came out of it. 01:08:03.500 --> 01:08:06.500 Like they haven't even left Egypt yet. 01:08:06.500 --> 01:08:08.500 And they're getting this commandment. 01:08:08.500 --> 01:08:11.500 You will keep this and anyone who wants to keep it with you. 01:08:11.500 --> 01:08:14.500 They're part of the people now. 01:08:14.500 --> 01:08:16.500 That's what mattered. 01:08:16.500 --> 01:08:18.500 Now is from the beginning. 01:08:22.500 --> 01:08:26.500 Go ahead and bump up just a little Exodus 12. 01:08:26.500 --> 01:08:30.500 Look down or look at verse 15 verse 15. 01:08:30.500 --> 01:08:33.500 Exodus 12 and verse 15 because this was kind of interesting part. 01:08:33.500 --> 01:08:40.500 And I will definitely tell you if this edifies you keep it if you don't agree with it. 01:08:40.500 --> 01:08:41.500 That's fine. 01:08:41.500 --> 01:08:46.500 But in Exodus 12 and verse 15 it says seven days shall you eat unleavened bread. 01:08:46.500 --> 01:08:56.500 Even the first day you shall put away all the leaven out of your house for whosoever eateth leaven bread from the first day on to the seventh day that soul shall be kept alive. 01:08:56.500 --> 01:09:01.500 And verse 16 and then the first day shall be a holy convocation. 01:09:01.500 --> 01:09:05.500 And the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation to you. 01:09:05.500 --> 01:09:14.500 No manner of work shall be done in the save that which every man must eat that only may be done for you. 01:09:14.500 --> 01:09:19.500 Ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread and the seventh day shall be done for you. 01:09:19.500 --> 01:09:22.500 That only may be done for you. 01:09:22.500 --> 01:09:29.500 Ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread and the south some day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. 01:09:29.500 --> 01:09:35.500 Therefore shall you observe this day in your generations by a new ordinance. 01:09:35.500 --> 01:09:38.500 So I was looking at this. 01:09:38.500 --> 01:09:41.500 It's very important that you have seven days of this. 01:09:41.500 --> 01:09:44.500 The first day you will not labor. 01:09:45.500 --> 01:09:49.500 The seventh day you will not do anything. 01:09:49.500 --> 01:09:52.500 So you have two days that you will not work. 01:09:52.500 --> 01:09:54.500 I was trying to look at this. 01:09:54.500 --> 01:10:00.500 I'm like, OK, so I believe the way you escape God's wrath, it's not by your work. 01:10:00.500 --> 01:10:02.500 It's not by you. 01:10:02.500 --> 01:10:04.500 It's about the sacrificial blood. 01:10:04.500 --> 01:10:05.500 I think that's a perfect thing. 01:10:05.500 --> 01:10:08.500 Like, how are we going to not go to hell? 01:10:08.500 --> 01:10:09.500 Not by our works. 01:10:09.500 --> 01:10:11.500 It's by Christ works. 01:10:11.500 --> 01:10:13.500 It's by that work. 01:10:13.500 --> 01:10:16.500 It's his sacrificial blood that God's wrath will go. 01:10:16.500 --> 01:10:18.500 It's absolutely no work of you. 01:10:18.500 --> 01:10:20.500 It's not of you. 01:10:20.500 --> 01:10:22.500 That one, I was like, obviously. 01:10:22.500 --> 01:10:23.500 That's what we teach. 01:10:23.500 --> 01:10:25.500 Why don't we keep the Sabbath? 01:10:25.500 --> 01:10:26.500 We do. 01:10:26.500 --> 01:10:28.500 We trust God because we rest in him every week. 01:10:28.500 --> 01:10:30.500 All right. 01:10:30.500 --> 01:10:35.500 But the seventh day, I was like, well, what was that one? 01:10:35.500 --> 01:10:37.500 And I'm just going to tell you this. 01:10:37.500 --> 01:10:39.500 And I said, you don't agree with this timing. 01:10:39.500 --> 01:10:40.500 You don't. 01:10:40.500 --> 01:10:41.500 That's no problem. 01:10:41.500 --> 01:10:42.500 I'm not going to argue with you. 01:10:42.500 --> 01:10:43.500 But it is a picture. 01:10:43.500 --> 01:10:46.500 And if this is just a Jewish fable tradition, fine. 01:10:46.500 --> 01:10:52.500 The seventh day was when God split the ocean and they walked through. 01:10:52.500 --> 01:10:59.500 So basically, leaving this world to the promised land was not by their works either. 01:10:59.500 --> 01:11:00.500 I could not. 01:11:00.500 --> 01:11:01.500 I don't. 01:11:01.500 --> 01:11:04.500 This is more something I found that people talk about. 01:11:04.500 --> 01:11:06.500 It makes sense because pretty much they leave. 01:11:06.500 --> 01:11:08.500 They spend a few days out there and they go forward. 01:11:08.500 --> 01:11:14.500 But I'm not going to fight that because it's not they don't really have all the days counted there. 01:11:14.500 --> 01:11:17.500 But it's still like I said, you like this picture? 01:11:17.500 --> 01:11:18.500 Great. 01:11:18.500 --> 01:11:19.500 If not, no problem. 01:11:19.500 --> 01:11:30.500 But the seventh day, what you were remembered was, hey, when you were taken out of the land of Egypt, which I would say, even though it's not perfect, going into heaven, going into the promised land, which they messed up when they left here. 01:11:30.500 --> 01:11:32.500 So they had to suffer for 40 years. 01:11:32.500 --> 01:11:35.500 But what did he do again when they entered in past Jordan? 01:11:35.500 --> 01:11:37.500 He split the waters again. 01:11:37.500 --> 01:11:39.500 So I think it was a little important. 01:11:39.500 --> 01:11:42.500 But I said it's not a perfect picture. 01:11:42.500 --> 01:11:44.500 But how are you going to get to the promised land? 01:11:44.500 --> 01:11:46.500 Not by your work. 01:11:46.500 --> 01:11:54.500 I mean, later in the New Testament, the thief looks down at the rich man, looks up to Lazarus. 01:11:54.500 --> 01:11:56.500 They said there's a great golf between us. 01:11:56.500 --> 01:11:57.500 And guess what? 01:11:57.500 --> 01:12:01.500 The great golf, the army of the world could not cross either. 01:12:01.500 --> 01:12:04.500 But God could allow you to walk upon dry land through it. 01:12:04.500 --> 01:12:13.500 So the first is we won't we will avoid God's wrath, not by our works, and we will get to heaven, not by our works. 01:12:13.500 --> 01:12:21.500 And I said, I won't be too dog-batted on that because it was an interesting picture I'm sure if you don't throw it out because I can't. 01:12:21.500 --> 01:12:23.500 It doesn't count the days there. 01:12:23.500 --> 01:12:25.500 But why is it seven days? 01:12:25.500 --> 01:12:26.500 Why is it that? 01:12:26.500 --> 01:12:30.500 Because God gave him seven days of unleavened bread. 01:12:30.500 --> 01:12:32.500 And then no work. 01:12:32.500 --> 01:12:34.500 And that's the what we keep. 01:12:34.500 --> 01:12:35.500 That was the answer. 01:12:35.500 --> 01:12:38.500 If you guys have other ideas, I look forward to that. 01:12:38.500 --> 01:12:39.500 But that is what I came to. 01:12:39.500 --> 01:12:44.500 Why it is seven days and why there are two days we don't labor. 01:12:44.500 --> 01:12:49.500 We don't labor to avoid God's wrath and we don't labor to get to heaven. 01:12:49.500 --> 01:12:51.500 So either way, I think that's a good picture. 01:12:51.500 --> 01:12:55.500 And I said that that's what I came to for that. 01:12:55.500 --> 01:12:57.500 First Corinthians five, first Corinthians five. 01:12:57.500 --> 01:12:59.500 It says your glory is not good. 01:12:59.500 --> 01:13:07.500 Know ye not that a little leavened love of the whole lump purged out there for the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump as ye are unleavened. 01:13:07.500 --> 01:13:09.500 For Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us. 01:13:09.500 --> 01:13:19.500 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice or wickedness, but the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 01:13:19.500 --> 01:13:26.500 What I think the symbol of the unleavened bread, which I've already said, like we keep it that, it just says here, look, when we keep that, it should just be fresh bread. 01:13:27.500 --> 01:13:32.500 Now here's the thing, I know maybe in this room we like our sourdough, but why is it sour? 01:13:32.500 --> 01:13:35.500 It's kind of spoiled a little. 01:13:35.500 --> 01:13:40.500 I guess maybe it's in us that we like a little spoilage. 01:13:40.500 --> 01:13:46.500 I'm not telling you to be wicked, but the picture is here, like hey, it should be fresh. 01:13:46.500 --> 01:13:48.500 It should just be that. 01:13:48.500 --> 01:13:54.500 But what it's saying here is hey, we're not going to be able to get that fresh bread. 01:13:54.500 --> 01:14:04.500 But what it's saying here is hey, for seven days, hey, keep this Passover and don't use the old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness. 01:14:04.500 --> 01:14:16.500 It's basically a symbol that hey, if we allow malice and wickedness into our lives, we know it's not just like, well, there's just this one guy at work I just despise and I hate and I think about him and it won't affect any part of my life. 01:14:16.500 --> 01:14:18.500 You know that's not true. 01:14:18.500 --> 01:14:22.500 If you have someone that you're just... 01:14:22.500 --> 01:14:24.500 It goes through your whole life. 01:14:24.500 --> 01:14:28.500 Just that little bit, a leaven, will leaven your whole lump. 01:14:28.500 --> 01:14:32.500 What it's saying here, I think it's a picture of this, why do you get all the leaven out? 01:14:32.500 --> 01:14:34.500 Hey, you have to actually work to get the leaven out. 01:14:34.500 --> 01:14:38.500 You need to purge that out and it needs to be gone. 01:14:38.500 --> 01:14:40.500 And if you do it for seven days, it's probably better. 01:14:40.500 --> 01:14:41.500 A lot of people could do that. 01:14:41.500 --> 01:14:46.500 I'm a really good Sunday Christian. 01:14:46.500 --> 01:14:47.500 What do you mean by that? 01:14:47.500 --> 01:14:50.500 I wake up Sunday, put on my suit. 01:14:50.500 --> 01:14:52.500 Why hello, brother. 01:14:52.500 --> 01:14:54.500 It's good to see you, sister. 01:14:54.500 --> 01:14:55.500 I've done my time. 01:14:55.500 --> 01:14:58.500 I'm just doing the really good Lord's work. 01:14:58.500 --> 01:15:03.500 And then Monday you're like, the door's broke. 01:15:03.500 --> 01:15:07.500 I bet if you did that, I bet if you got rid of your leaven for a week, it'd be a little bit easier. 01:15:07.500 --> 01:15:09.500 It'd be gone for a little bit longer. 01:15:09.500 --> 01:15:12.500 So I think it's kind of interesting that for a week, you need to get that out. 01:15:12.500 --> 01:15:16.500 Like God's just like, hey, I know this is not so much a new test, 01:15:16.500 --> 01:15:18.500 but what a good principle. 01:15:18.500 --> 01:15:22.500 If you actually took the, hey, while you're taking this, if you're sincere and look, 01:15:22.500 --> 01:15:25.500 fully agree, you know, Lord's Supper once a year. 01:15:25.500 --> 01:15:32.500 But during the Passover, you actually said, hey, while the entire time you're on basically this bread ration of unleavened bread, 01:15:32.500 --> 01:15:35.500 you get all the leaven out of your own life. 01:15:35.500 --> 01:15:41.500 Can you imagine, like, there'd be some good for you, not just spiritually, but practically that, you know, 01:15:41.500 --> 01:15:44.500 should be regularly, but once a year, you're like, 01:15:44.500 --> 01:15:46.500 I am getting out all my leaven. 01:15:46.500 --> 01:15:49.500 It is how we say you need to prepare for the Lord's Supper. 01:15:49.500 --> 01:15:55.500 I'm not saying it's totally a seven day, you know, the words coming to me is fast. 01:15:55.500 --> 01:16:00.500 You should fast of wrath all the time and wickedness and lucidness, 01:16:00.500 --> 01:16:06.500 but it would be good if you're like, I'm going to take an entire time to kind of purify my life by getting rid of that old leaven. 01:16:06.500 --> 01:16:11.500 Get that part of my life that is just bitter in the back of my mind and just purge it out. 01:16:11.500 --> 01:16:18.500 I think that's just a really good practical application of why the seven days just get it all out. 01:16:18.500 --> 01:16:22.500 And that's how we kind of that's the way, you know, we just did the Lord's Supper. 01:16:22.500 --> 01:16:24.500 We preach, hey, yourself right. 01:16:24.500 --> 01:16:29.500 It wasn't that night like I'm just going to get rid of it right now. 01:16:29.500 --> 01:16:32.500 There's about a week and a half before we had the sermon on it. 01:16:32.500 --> 01:16:34.500 It's like, hey, start getting yourself right. 01:16:34.500 --> 01:16:40.500 You know, go, like, don't offer your sacrifice to the God if you're bitter towards a brother like start purging your life. 01:16:40.500 --> 01:16:44.500 And I believe that is the picture of the unleavened bread for seven days. 01:16:44.500 --> 01:16:54.500 Like practically for us is you you need to when you purge your wickedness, your greed, your lust out of your life. 01:16:54.500 --> 01:17:02.500 Look, it just can't be the couple hours you're in church for your own benefit, for your own good. 01:17:02.500 --> 01:17:08.500 Like you need to actually decide I'm cutting this out and I'm going to proactively make sure it's gone for a while. 01:17:08.500 --> 01:17:10.500 Hey, great if it's forever. 01:17:10.500 --> 01:17:17.500 But if you take a problem, you proactively for a week, I bet it's easier on the day eight to maybe let it go as well. 01:17:17.500 --> 01:17:20.500 Let's just not be a Sunday good Christian. 01:17:20.500 --> 01:17:24.500 Let's try to be Sunday to Sunday good Christians and maybe a little bit more. 01:17:24.500 --> 01:17:29.500 And I just think that's the practical application of that. 01:17:29.500 --> 01:17:36.500 My last point, go ahead and turn to Colossians one Colossians one. 01:17:36.500 --> 01:17:38.500 There's a lot in the Passover. 01:17:38.500 --> 01:17:40.500 There's a lot of symbolism. 01:17:40.500 --> 01:17:44.500 I think I already kind of hit on this one, but I want to finish on this. 01:17:44.500 --> 01:17:53.500 Why was it the firstborn? 01:17:53.500 --> 01:17:56.500 God's wrath was shown to the firstborn. 01:17:56.500 --> 01:18:00.500 Maybe that was because, you know, I think it's a perfect symbol. 01:18:00.500 --> 01:18:04.500 God would have to sacrifice his firstborn. 01:18:04.500 --> 01:18:07.500 And so he just took that as perfect picture. 01:18:07.500 --> 01:18:30.500 But here Colossians one verse 14, it says, In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins, who is the image of the invisible God that the firstborn of all of every creature for by him were all things created that are in heaven and that are in the earth visible and invisible, whether they be thorns, 01:18:30.500 --> 01:18:38.500 thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, all things were created by him and for him. 01:18:38.500 --> 01:18:43.500 And he is before all things and by him all things consist. 01:18:43.500 --> 01:18:56.500 And he is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have preeminence. 01:18:56.500 --> 01:19:02.500 When you're doing a Bible trivia question, and we kind of laugh, but you know what's always probably a good guess. 01:19:02.500 --> 01:19:05.500 It's Jesus. 01:19:05.500 --> 01:19:08.500 During the Passover, what was it about? 01:19:08.500 --> 01:19:10.500 It was about Jesus. 01:19:10.500 --> 01:19:17.500 It was the lamb being sacrificed is a picture of Jesus's sacrifice. 01:19:17.500 --> 01:19:19.500 That's all he came to the world to do. 01:19:19.500 --> 01:19:21.500 He came to give us a symbol. 01:19:21.500 --> 01:19:24.500 He came to tell us about what he would do. 01:19:24.500 --> 01:19:27.500 It was pointing towards that moment in this weekend. 01:19:27.500 --> 01:19:32.500 We remember the sacrifice Christ did and that he conquered it. 01:19:32.500 --> 01:19:35.500 The Passover is all about Jesus. 01:19:35.500 --> 01:19:44.500 I believe not working the first day and the seventh day both point to Jesus getting 11 out and believing a sinless life. 01:19:44.500 --> 01:19:46.500 That was pointed Jesus. 01:19:46.500 --> 01:19:53.500 The blood, not the demon, the blood as a symbol of what God's wrath will bypass you. 01:19:53.500 --> 01:19:56.500 That was about Jesus. 01:19:56.500 --> 01:19:59.500 It was always all about Jesus. 01:19:59.500 --> 01:20:01.500 For he is the firstborn of every creature. 01:20:01.500 --> 01:20:07.500 Everything in the world that is seen was created by him and for him. 01:20:07.500 --> 01:20:10.500 And he was the firstborn of the dead. 01:20:10.500 --> 01:20:15.500 Showing that he conquered death and hell for us. 01:20:15.500 --> 01:20:18.500 It's always about Jesus. 01:20:18.500 --> 01:20:20.500 The Passover was no exception. 01:20:20.500 --> 01:20:27.500 Why it is that we still hold Easter, Passover, Resurrection Sunday, whatever you wish to call it. 01:20:27.500 --> 01:20:30.500 It was all about Jesus. 01:20:30.500 --> 01:20:33.500 The Old Testament, it was about Jesus. 01:20:33.500 --> 01:20:37.500 The New Testament, it's about Jesus. 01:20:37.500 --> 01:20:39.500 It's all about Jesus. 01:20:39.500 --> 01:20:52.500 And yes, the first, even God showed it was about Jesus when he took the firstborn of all the Egyptians and all those that did not put the sacrificial blood over their doorpost. 01:20:52.500 --> 01:20:55.500 He took the firstborn. 01:20:55.500 --> 01:20:59.500 It was still pointing towards Jesus' sacrifice. 01:20:59.500 --> 01:21:05.500 Why was God calling for Abraham's firstborn? 01:21:05.500 --> 01:21:12.500 To show that God, even though Abraham showed through faith, if that's what you required Lord, I would do it. 01:21:12.500 --> 01:21:14.500 But he says that's not required of you. 01:21:14.500 --> 01:21:22.500 God could make his own sacrifice as Abraham promised and God fulfilled through Jesus. 01:21:22.500 --> 01:21:28.500 The Lamb was always a picture throughout the whole Bible and Christ fulfilled that. 01:21:28.500 --> 01:21:34.500 So today as we celebrate Easter, let us remember it's not a separate holiday. 01:21:34.500 --> 01:21:36.500 These are the same holiday. 01:21:36.500 --> 01:21:41.500 It's just that we have fulfilled the Passover sacrifice truly in Jesus. 01:21:41.500 --> 01:21:50.500 So we look back and honor that sacrifice, not the physical freedom that the nation of Israel got from Egypt. 01:21:50.500 --> 01:21:56.500 For that was just a spiritual picture of what Christ would do to free us from this world. 01:21:56.500 --> 01:21:57.500 With that, let's pray. 01:21:57.500 --> 01:21:58.500 Heavenly Father, thank you so much today. 01:21:58.500 --> 01:22:00.500 Thank you for allowing me to preach this. 01:22:00.500 --> 01:22:02.500 I give thanks. 01:22:02.500 --> 01:22:11.500 I was able to preach this and see the beautiful pictures that Passover gave to us and how, yes, it freed the Israel from Egypt. 01:22:11.500 --> 01:22:17.500 But Lord, all the Old Testament was an imperfect picture pointing to the perfect picture of Christ. 01:22:17.500 --> 01:22:24.500 Lord, we give thanks that you fulfilled all the promises and showed us that Christ was your first plan. 01:22:24.500 --> 01:22:26.500 And it's always going to be how we get saved.
