Your lamb shall be a unblemished male a year old. you may take it from the sheep or from the goats. You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the month, then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel. is to kill it at midnight. Exodus 12:5-6
On the very first Passover celebration in Egypt, the blood on the doorposts came from a special sacrificed sheep or goat. The sacrifice was brought into the house for five days and then killed. Just as soon as the family got to love this cute animal they had to watch it die. It was sad, but the blood saved their lives. This became a type of Christ who was to come. When we come to know Christ and love Him, then we must see Him as our crucified Savior. Although it is sad to see such a loved one die, the blood saves us from our sins as God's wrath passes over us. Before we celebrate our Passover, the Lord's Supper next Sunday, let's bring Christ in our houses and hearts as first.
