Moses gave the people specific instructions about three
important feasts: Passover, Weeks, and
Shelters. My commentary added helpful
words of understanding: “At the first Passover in Egypt, God killed all the firstborn in the
land, both humans and animals, except those Jews who were in their houses and
protected by the blood on the doorposts.
From that time on, God claimed for Himself all the firstborn sons and
animals in Israel and they all had to be redeemed
with a sacrifice. If the animal wasn’t
redeemed, it had to be killed … It wasn’t the life of the Passover lamb that saved Israel from bondage but the death of the lamb and the application
of the blood by faith.”
Two additional quotes really caught my eye:
“Anyone who professes to belong to Christ who doesn’t seek
to conquer sin and become more Christ-like in daily conduct is making a false
profession.”
“If God were to take the Holy Spirit out of this world, much
of what the church is doing would go right on, and nobody would know the difference. What an indictment that our churches depend
on everything except the power of the Holy Spirit!”
Father, thank You for taking hold yesterday when I no longer
could. Please hold me up today in Your
strength and not my own.
Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
