These scriptures share God’s laws and rules that were to be followed in order to
partake of the Passover. The chapter
concludes by noting that the Israelites and those participating in the Passover
did indeed observe and follow the command of the Lord; and were brought out of
Egypt on that very day. Passover was to
remind the Israelites of the coming of Christ who would become the sacrificial
Lamb. After Jesus’ crucifixion, the
Savior himself fulfilled the law.
Gratitude and hope come to my mind when I think of Passover. The hope of Jesus and the gratitude of His
obedience to the cross that allowed us to be children of God, should cause me
to glorify God in all my ways. And yet,
I find myself falling short everyday.
How do you glorify God? What
areas of your life find you struggling to glorify God? Join me in prayer as we ask our Heavenly
Father to deepen our walk with Him and help us to become more humble, less
prideful, slow to anger, exhibiting a controlled tongue, extinguishing
unbecoming thoughts, more selfless and a true servant as we share our Christian
witness.
