Before I address the topic I want to explain what lead up to this post. I turned my garage into a weight room and invited a few men from the congregations I attend and neighborhood to work out with me. Accountability helps bring out the best in us all. Plus it's the perfect opportunity for evangalism and Iron sharpening Iron. There's one young man that now attends both congregations I attend, my small groups, and works out with me everyday. I love this guy, he's a sponge. I get frustrated with him because he's a sponge without discernment and absorbs ever thing everyone tells him about Elohim. This has caused me to have to point out why many church practices are the traditions of man. We have been preparing for Passover and I asked him to explain the significance and history of passover. His response was that the Hebrews made a sin offering of a lamb and painted their door post with its blood so God's angel would And passover them. I told him that the Lamb was not a sin offering and the blood of the Lamb was to mark the houses of those who belong to Elohim. He then said I was always taught that Jesus was the Passover lamb and that ment a sin offering.
Exodus 12:1-7
1Now Adonai spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,
2“This month will mark the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year for you.
3Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month, each man is to take a lamb for his family one lamb for the household.
4But if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor are to take one according to the number of the people. According to each person eating, you are to make your count for the lamb.
5Your lamb is to be without blemish, a year old male. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats.
6You must watch over it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel is to slaughter it at twilight.
7They are to take the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the crossbeam of the houses where they will eat it.
Painting blood onto their door frames signified their Faith in Elohim's warning and marked them out (set apart) from the pagan Egyptians; when the Angel of Death passed through Egypt he would pass over the doors marked with blood without killing the firstborn males who lived within those houses.
So if it's not clear Yeshua as the Passover Lamb is not a sin offering. His blood is what sets us apart on the day of judgement from those who deny Him.
I hope you all have a great passover.
