CELEBRATE THIS DAY

Date : Jan 01, 2000
Passage : Exodus 12:12~30
Keyverse : 17


1. It is the Passover (12-28)

God's hand of judgment would fall on Egypt that night. He would pass through Egypt, slaying the firstborn of the Egyptians; he would pass over the houses marked with the blood of the Passover lamb. The Israelites were to celebrate this day down through the generations and teach their children about God's grace and mercy, for it was the day of deliverance from slavery in Egypt (24-27). Moses told the people to go at once and slaughter the Passover lamb, and put its blood on their doorframes. The people worshiped God and obeyed.

2. At midnight (29-30)

At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in Egypt. Only those households protected by the blood of the Passover lamb were spared. God struck the heart of Pharaoh; his own son died and his hard heart melted in grief. He let Israel go.

Application: Lord, help me to remember that you saved me through the blood of Jesus, the Passover Lamb, and to teach your awesome love to my children.
One Word: Celebrate what God has done
