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. And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. Exodus 12:13-14
Salvation from the “plague” of Judgement is afforded only by the shed Blood of the Lamb, and Faith in that shed Blood.
All sinners are justly doomed by God to death. But He loves them as He loved the firstborn; therefore, the Lamb of God has suffered that death. His Precious Blood, that is, His Priceless Life poured out, attest the fact.
The Word of God promises eternal safety to anyone who will seek Salvation in that Atoning Saviour. The Believer in Christ knows, therefore, that he shall never perish; and this knowledge is based on two facts outside of himself, which are:
1. The preciousness of Christ’s Blood to God.
2. The Faithfulness of God to His Own Promise.
Israel was to keep the Passover “for a memorial,” and was to do so “forever.” This referred to the fact that their Salvation, prosperity, freedom, and strength all were derived from “the Blood of the Lamb.” It has not changed for the modern Believer. Everything we are, and l speak of Righteousness, can only be credited to the Shed Blood of the Lamb.
All of this represented the Cross, which means that it must ever be the anchor and the Object of our Faith.
Ephesians 2:13-18 The Sacrificial Atoning Death of Jesus Christ transformed the relations of God with mankind. In Christ, God reconciled not a nation, but “a world” to Himself.
