It's time for Passover! What? Not interested? But did you know it's very much about Messiah?
Father heard the cries of His children in bondage. He asked nothing of them except that they place the blood of an unblemished lamb on the doorposts of their homes. Those showing their faith in His blood promise were spared death. They were freed from bondage. They passed through the waters of the Red Sea that washed away their captors.
So what does this have to do with Messiah?
Father has heard the cries of His children in bondage to sin. For our freedom, He asks only that we place the blood of The Unblemished Lamb on the doorposts of our hearts. Those having faith in this blood are spared eternal death. They are freed from their bondage of slavery to sin. They follow through the waters of mikveh (baptism) and the sin that held them captive is washed away.
How awesome is that? Did you notice that these people were SAVED by the blood with nothing else having been asked of them?
Father's expression of Grace goes much farther back than just 2000 years. It wasn't a foreign concept to the children of Israel.
