INTRODUCTION: Selling home, getting things ready. Should have done it all years before.
God is preparing something new.
God is preparing something new.
1 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, 2 “This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you.
Must be significant if you are willing to start a new year for it. Lunar calendar, this would be late March for us.
Anniversary - I don’t forget it, but I freak out every time my wife says “Did you forget something”. haha
3 Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household. 4 And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.
10 days later - (10th plague).
Every house needs a lamb, if to small then share. Everyone was cared for.
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats, 6 and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight.
without blemish - it has to be perfect.
male - it had to be a male.
sheep or goats (to protect sheep population).
14th day - four days later - You present the lamb (holy week)
Kill at twilight.
Be ready to follow God when He calls.
Be ready to follow God when He calls.
7 “Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.
blood - blood of the lamb.
doorposts and lintel -
8 They shall eat the flesh that night, roasted on the fire; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9 Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted, its head with its legs and its inner parts.
lamb chops! unleavened bread - flat bread. bitter herbs.
Eat it all.
10 And you shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn.
Eat it all. No leftovers allowed. - It was going to used up. Just like Jesus.
11 In this manner you shall eat it: with your belt fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord’s Passover.
eat it ready to leave and in a hurry. (normally you unbuncle the belt haha, take the shoes off, etc…)
12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord.
strike firstborn man and beast - all things firstborn would be killed. (would this also impact legacy) Firstborn was most precious.
gods of egypt, Execute judgement -
13 The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.
shall be a sign for you - not for me,
pass over -
If you’re going to follow, then follow completely.
If you’re going to follow, then follow completely.
14 “This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord; throughout your generations, as a statute forever, you shall keep it as a feast.
memorial day - last supper. The lord wanted them to remember how God saved them. That he was more powerful than there God.
15 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven out of your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.
Leaven is going to become a picture of sin later on. It was yeast infecting everything and causing it to rise.
person shall be cut off - they will be like leaven. God wanted purity from his people.
16 On the first day you shall hold a holy assembly, and on the seventh day a holy assembly. No work shall be done on those days. But what everyone needs to eat, that alone may be prepared by you.
Vacation! ha - God scheduled holy days to stop and rest. But it was never just about rust, it was to remember God.
17 And you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day, throughout your generations, as a statute forever. 18 In the first month, from the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month at evening. 19 For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses. If anyone eats what is leavened, that person will be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a sojourner or a native of the land. 20 You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwelling places you shall eat unleavened bread.”
Obey God’s commands and leave the rest to Him.

21 Then Moses called all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go and select lambs for yourselves according to your clans, and kill the Passover lamb. 22 Take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and touch the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. None of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.
Take the blood of the lamb to cover him.
23 For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.
Lord will pass through - who is it, God.
destroyer - who is that then. Some say angel of death, I think it is actually angel of the Lord.
24 You shall observe this rite as a statute for you and for your sons forever. 25 And when you come to the land that the Lord will give you, as he has promised, you shall keep this service. 26 And when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’ 27 you shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the Lord’s Passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.’ ” And the people bowed their heads and worshiped.
28 Then the people of Israel went and did so; as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
Remember this forever. How do we remember? Through the sacrifice of Jesus.
Pass it along to the next generation.
CONCLUSION- Passing through. God does this.
