JESUS FROM THE BIBLE. EXD – THE PASSOVER LAMB Tue 15 th Oct 2013The greatest desire of our Lord Jesus Christ is for His faithful disciples to have first-hand information about Him. The Bible from the beginning to the end reveals Him to us. He himself commanded us to search the scriptures, to help us discover all we need to know about Him.
Jhn 5: 39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me
2ND Pet 3; 18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
THE BOOK OF EXODUS REVEALS JESUS CHRIST TO US AS THE PASCHAL LAMB. IN EXD 12;3, 5-6, 12-13, 15;;13.
Exodus 12:3 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 fathers, a lamb for an house:
12:5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: 12:6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
12:12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, 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. 12:13 And the blood shall be to you 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.
Exodus 15:13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
Four things are discovered.
THE LAMB,
THE LAMB WITHOUT BLEMISH, THE BLOOD
AND REDEMPTION.
By the time these four things are summed up, They pointed to the Lord Jesus Christ.
1st Pet 1: 18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers. 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. REV 13:8.
Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
1. PASCHAL LAMB A POINTER TO THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
The slain Paschal Lamb was a pointer to the prophesied atonement of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Children of Israeli received : FREEDOM FROM BONDAGE AND SLAVERY OF 430 YEARS. DELIVERANCE OF THEIR FIRST BORN FROM DEATH.
EXD 12”12-13.
12:12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, 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. 12:13 And the blood shall be to you 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.
REDEMPTION TO BECOME GOD’S PEOPLE THAT WILL LIVE WITH HIM IN HIS HOLY HABITATION.
EXD 15:13. Exodus 15:13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

1 Corinthians 10:19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.

FULFILLED 400 YEARS AFTER, ON INNOCENT GENERATION. 1 SAM 15:2-3.
1 Samuel 15:1 Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD. 15:2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. 15:3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
WE NEED TO PRAY THAT YOUR PARENTS SINS OF PAST GENERATION WILL NOT AFFECT YOU AND GENERATION AFTER YOU
EXD 22:22_24. STOP HURTING WEAK PEOPLE TO AVOID HANDWRITING OF ORDINANCES.

9.REMOVAL OF GENERATIONAL CURSES. GAL 3: 13-14.

Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
2. PARDON FOR TRUSTING ONLY THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
ALL THAT WE RECEIVE FROM GOD COMES TO US BY TRUSTING AND LEANING ONLY ON THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
HIS BLOOD IS THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 10:3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
OTHER RIGHTEOUSNESSES ARE FILTYJ BEFORE GOD
Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Luke 18:9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Jesus’s blood acceptable righteousness.
Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
. LK 18: 9-14. ROM 10: 1-4, 3 : 25-26, 2ND COR 5:21.
FAITH IN THE PRECIOUS BLOOD JESUS SHED IS THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE RIGHTEOUSNESS TO GOD.
3. PUNISHMENT FOR TRODDEN ON THE BLOOD.
UNFORTUNATELY MANY CHURCH GOERS WILL HAVE THEIR SOULS DAMNED, BECAUSE OF WRONG ATTITUDE TO JESUS’S BLOOD.
HEB 10: 26-29.
Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 10:28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
God will pardon accidental sins, not wilful sin quoting the Bible.
Psalms 130:3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
But when you sin accidentally, not willfully. You get pardon from God.
1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
COME TO JESUS THIS MORNING FOR CLEANSING. HE IS THE PASCHAL LAMB. 1ST PET 1: 18-19.
1 Peter 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Let us pray.
