Tuesday – Pentateuch

Reading – Exodus 12

Highlight Verses:

“Then your children will ask, ‘What does this ceremony mean?’ And you will reply, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the Lord, for he passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt. And though he struck the Egyptians, he spared our families.’” When Moses had finished speaking, all the people bowed down to the ground and worshiped.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭12‬:‭26‬-‭27‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I always thought that Passover was the most important Jewish festival.

After all, it is closely associated with Easter. In fact, that sacrifice was a foreshadowing of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross that our lives may be spared.

In fact, most scholars would call Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement the most important holiday.

Like Easter, it is all about the forgiveness of one’s sins.

Unlike Easter, one’s sins needed to be forgiven every year through sacrifice.

Jesus already made that sacrifice to pay the penalty for all we have done wrong.

Once and for all!
