Episode Notes: Passover - A Template for Spiritual Life (Exodus 12: 1-28)
Introduction:
- The Bible is full of object lessons and visual representations of important concepts in life.
- Exodus Chapter 12 presents two snapshots of our spiritual life, providing a simple, vivid picture of the biblical narrative.
First Snapshot - The Passover Feast:
- The Passover feast is a well-known event in the Bible, but there are important details that need to be explained.
- The month of Passover signifies the beginning of the Israelites' new year and is a communal affair, not just an individual or family ceremony.
Significance of the Passover Feast:
- The Passover feast holds great importance in the lives of the Israelites, symbolizing their liberation from Egypt.
- It goes beyond being a mere ritualistic meal and serves as a commemoration of their bitter experience and swift deliverance.
- The blood of the lamb serves as a sign of salvation and faith in God's promise of deliverance.
Connection to Jesus Christ:
- Jesus is revealed as the ultimate fulfillment of the Passover, referred to as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
- The Passover lamb and its significance point to Jesus Christ's sacrificial death.
- Just as the blood of the Passover lamb on the doorposts signified deliverance, Jesus' blood signified His sacrificial death for humanity.
- Jesus' death satisfied God's justice, and through faith in Him, believers are saved from judgment.
Doctrine of Propitiation:
- The doctrine of propitiation is a significant concept in the New Testament.
- Propitiation means that God is satisfied, and in the case of Jesus' death, His sacrifice satisfied God's justice for sin.
- The Passover feast provides a snapshot of this doctrine, where the blood of the lamb signifies satisfaction and salvation.
Second Snapshot: Feast of Unleavened Bread:
- The Feast of Unleavened Bread follows the Passover feast immediately.
- The removal of leaven symbolizes the removal of sin from their lives.
- The Feast of Unleavened Bread is observed throughout generations as an everlasting ordinance.
