Q1. Passover Lamb

[Emy Oliveros]

The lambs on the first Passover protected the families of God's people when some of the blood were put on the sides and tops of the doorframes of their houses where they are and so when the Lord went through the land to strike down the Egyptians, He saw the blood on the top and sides of the doorframes and He passed over that doorway and did not permit the destroyer to enter their houses and strike them down.

The primary point of comparison between the first Passover lambs and what Christ did for us as our Passover Lamb is that they were both sacrificed and were made substitutes. The Passover lambs substituted for the firstborn males and animals in the household of the Hebrews and the Lord passed over them. Christ, as our Passover Lamb was a substitute for us sinners, rather than us taking the punishment for our sins He offered Himself for the remission of our sins, and we have peace with God.

In what way did the lambs on the first Passover protect the families of God's people? (Exodus 12) What is the primary point of comparison between the first Passover lambs and what Christ did for us as our Passover Lamb?

The lambs provided the blood which was smeared on the doorframes as a sign to the angel of death. When the families were obedient and did this in faith the angel passed over them.

The blood of the lambs is like the blood of Christ, when applied by faith to our hearts it keeps us from death. Also, the blood on the doorframes is remarkably like the blood on the cross--if you traced the blood on the top downward and the blood on the sides across it would even make a cross. It was a foretelling of Christ's sacrifice for us. Christ sacrificed His body to provide the blood for us that would save us from death and give us life.

In what way did the lambs on the first Passover protect the families of God's people? (Exodus 12) What is the primary point of comparison between the first Passover lambs and what Christ did for us as our Passover Lamb?

The lambs were slain and the blood used to mark the doorposts of the Israelites. This enabled God's 'judgement' to pass over the homes of those marked with the blood of the lamb.

When we ask Jesus to be Lord and Savior of our lives, we are marked (as those doorposts of the houses) and therefore God's 'judgement' will pass over us as well. Nobody wants to be without the blood of Jesus come 'judgement' day. When God sees sin He must either punish or destroy the sin.

[billhayes]

At the first Passover, the blood of the lamb was put on the doorpost of the houses of the Hebrews -- and the Angel of Death "passed over" those houses. Jesus want to make sure the disciples -- and we -- realise that His death was going to atone for our sins -- and the Angel of Death would --- as it were -- "pass over" us because of what Christ has done. We are free to new life through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

[Liza]

The blood on the doorframes signified that blood had already been spilt in these homes. The blood of the lamb was a protection against the Angel of death who would slay all the firstborn.

We are marked by the blood of Jesus when believe on Him and this will save us from eternal death on the day of judgement. We are saved for eternal life.

Also the result of putting the blood by faith on the doorposts resulted in Israel

Q1. In what way did the lambs on the first Passover protect the families of God's people? (Exodus 12) What is the primary point of comparison between the first Passover lambs and what Christ did for us as our Passover Lamb? Exposition

The lambs' blood on the first Passover protected the families of God's people and kept their firstborn alive so that the Lord would passover their houses. The primary point of comparison between the passover lamb and Christ being our passover lamb is that He spilled His blood for us so that God could passover and consider our sin paid for to allow us entrance into heaven and continued fellowship with Him.

[jjperra]

The blood of the lamb was a sign to the angel of death to pass over the home mark with it.

It was a protection for God's people from death, and also the fear from it.

What Jesus did for us, giving His blood for us, is protection from death for all who accept the gift.

It grants believers eternal life, with Christ, and also takes away any fear of passing from this world.

I love the way Linda Stanley answered this question. It truly is because of the Blood of the Lamb that we are spared. Then and now!

Q1. In what way did the lambs on the first Passover protect the families of God's people? (Exodus 12)

The lambs blood was put on the doorway of God

[MyBeloved]

The lambs at the first Passover served as a substitute for the firstborn of the Israelite homes. The blook of those lambs saved them from physical death.

Our Passover Lamb, the Lord Jesus Christ poured out His blood on the cross in substitionary death for us and now we are set free. His righteousness has been applied to our account and we are seated in the heavenlies.

[heatherdills]

The process of sacrifice symbolized their act of sacrifice adn the blood represented eternal life. The primary point is that Christ was the ultimate sacrifice to give us salvation.

[Helen]

The lambs were killed and their blood spread with hyssop on the door frames of the Israelite houses. When the death spirit saw this it passed by that house. The lambs were to be eaten in travelling clothes, ready to move on.

The primary point of comparison is the blood, first of the lamb, and secondly of the Son of God. As by the blood of the lamb the Israelites were saved from death, so by the blood of Jesus we are saved from eternal death.

Exodus 12:1, And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying, (2),This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. (3) Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their father, a lamb for an house: (4), And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. (5) Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: (6) And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. (7) And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. (8) And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread, and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. (9) Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, bust roast with fire; his head and with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof (10) And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. (11) And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, and your shoes on you feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in hast: it is the LORD's passover. (12) For I will pass through the land of Egypt this nighym, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. (13) And the blood shall be to for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. (14) And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD through out your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

Luke 22:1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. (7) Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. (8) And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. (11) And ye shall say to goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disiciples? And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 1Corinthians 5:7, Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: (8) Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

A) WHEN GOD'S PEOPLE OBEYED HIS COMMAND TO APPLY THE BLOOD OF THE ANIMAL TO THE DOORPOSTS OF THEIR HOMES, THEY WERE ALL PROTECTED AS OPPOSED TO THE EGYPTIANS WHOSE FIRSTBORN WAS SLAIN.THEREFORE THE BLOOD OF THE ANIMAL PROVIDED PROTECTION BECAUSE THEY WERE OBEDIENT TO APPLY IT IN FAITH SO THE DESTROYER HAD TO CROSS OVER.

B)SO TOO TODAY, WHEN WE APPLY THE BLOOD OF OUR PASSOVER LAMB (JESUS) BY FAITH AND OBEDIENCE TO GOD'S WORD, WE TOO ARE PROTECTED FROM EVIL.IT'S INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THERE'S NO MAGIC POWER IN THE BLOOD OF ANIMALS--THEY WERE ONLY PROTECTED BECAUSE THEY PLACED IT ON THEIR DOORS BY FAITH!!!IF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL HAD DISOBEYED MOSES'S COMMANDS AND WERE OUTSIDE THE HOUSE WHEN THE DESTROYER PASSED, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN SLAIN ALSO. THEY HAD TO STAY UNDER THE BLOOD TO BE SAFE FROM SATAN. WHEN JESUS WENT TO THE CROSS AND SHED HIS PURE , PRECIOUS , SINLESS BLOOD TO ATONE FOR OUR SINS, THAT WAS HIS WAY OF OFFERING PROTECTION TO US FROM THE WILES OF THE DEVIL. TODAY WE DONT APPLY BLOOD LITERALLY TO OUR HOMES BUT BY FAITH WE CAN ASK THE LORD TO COVER AND PROTECT US, OUR FAMILIES AND POSSESSIONS FROM THE DESTROYER. BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS WILL ONLY WORK FOR US IF WE ARE IN OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD. REMEMBER , IF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WERE NOT OBEDIENT TO STAY IN THEIR HOMES WHEN THE DESTROYER PASSED, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN SLAIN,OBEDIENCE IS TRULY BETTER THAN SACRIFICE....GOD BLESS........

They gave their life and when their blood was applied to the door post they were passed over by the death angel. By accepting Christ's sacrifice for us His blood is applied to the door posts of our soul, thereby allowing us to live.

To apply the blood to the door post of their home.

We Christians have a paschal lamb; and that lamb is the Massiah. And as the Jews, when their paschal lamb was slain, were required to put away all leaven from their dwellings, so we, when our paschal lamb is slain, should put away all sin from our hearts and from our churches."

In order for the Israelites to be spared from the plague of death a lamb with no defects had to be killed. The lamb had to be killed in order to get the blood that would protect them.

In killing the lamb the Israelites shed innocent Blood (Like Jesus). The lamb was a sacrifice, a substitute (like Jesus), for the person who would have died (as we were saved).

[charisbarak]

The lamb was sacrificed and it's blood was used to mark those special homes to be "passed over" when God's judgment fell on Egypt & it's first born sons.

Jesus, as our Passover lamb, sacrificed His blood to protect us from sin's wages--death.

Q1. In what way did the lambs on the first Passover protect the families of God's people? (Exodus 12)

The families of God's people were protected from the judgment on the firstborn because the sacrificial blood was smeared on the doorposts and lintel of their homes.

What is the primary point of comparison between the first Passover lambs and what Christ did for us as our Passover Lamb?

The primary point of comparison between the first Passover Lambs and what Christ did for us as our Passover Lamb is that both lambs stood as a substitute. The first Passover Lambs were substitutes for the firstborn males and animals in the Israelites' household. When the death angle pass over the homes the forstborns were not killed as were the firstborns of the Eqyptians. Then Christ as our Passover Lamb, took our place on the cross when He gave his life to redeem sinful man from the judgement of death.

Q1. In what way did the lambs on the first Passover protect the families of God's people? (Exodus 12) What is the primary point of comparison between the first Passover lambs and what Christ did for us as our Passover Lamb?

The lambs on the first Passover protected the families of God's people from the judgment that was to fall on Egypt.

The primary point of comparision between the first Passover lambs and what Christ did for us as our Passover Lamb is that both provided an escape from God's judgment only through the mediation of a blood sacrifice -- the Passover Lamb and Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross.

[Elie]

Q1. In what way did the lambs on the first Passover protect the families of God's people? (Exodus 12) What is the primary point of comparison between the first Passover lambs and what Christ did for us as our Passover Lamb?

The lamb was slaughtered, and its blood was put on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where it was eaten,. This was a sign, for their protection from the plague.

The blood of the yearling lamb, was used when God wanted to finish with the rebellion of pharaoh who refused to leave His people; the freedom was in perspective to Canaan. And Jesus give His blood to wash away our sins, to justify us for the eternal life.

[Jewell]

The lamb's blood was used to mark the doorway as an marker that the house would be "passed over" as the destroyer went throughout to destroy the firstborns.

This, and the sacrifice Christ made were both given as a means of escape from God's judgement on man.
