The passover.

Here we have the account of the passover and what it would mean to the children of Israel.

they were going to be free of the Egyptians because God was going to bring the separation.

Egypt is always seen in the bible as an analogy of sin.

God was going to bring the separation from the life in Egypt.

but it was going to take the blood of a lamb painted upon the door posts and lintel of each house to bring protection of death.

explain.

All the time up until the destruction of the temple in ad 90 the children of isreal kept this odservance.

in their wanderings in the wilderness in the tent of meeting and in the tabernacle the passover was kept to its full observence.

today jews still keep the passover but they do not sacrifice a lamb.

They say that this is because they have no temple

but our bibles will show that the passover lamb could only save for a year so would need to remember it every year.

the passover is not the sin offering

passover is only to remember what God did when he brought them out of eGYPT.

But this is important to see how God would want to separate us from sin not just for a year but for all times.

Last week we saw how King David made a sacrifice on the threshing floor of Ornan and said that it was to be a place of big importance for us as christians today.

so here we can clearly see the connection with David and also there is a connection with Abraham.

God doesn’t work in coincidences God deals in divine appointments

That person you bump into in the high street and you prayed for wasn’t a coincidence it was a divine appointment

you miss your bus but while waiting for the next was able to speak kind words to that young person that wasn’t a coincidence it was a divine appointment.

i spoken so many times about dates in the bible they are put there for a reason you may not know now but in time you will.

The passover account that we read reminded us that this passover was to take place in the first month of the year.

new beginnings a new life.

I feel that we have enough stepping stones down that we can take our path from sin to our saviour.

In Gen 3 we see how wonderful the Garden was made but we are reminded that the serpent was more subtil

Here we can see that this serpent was different to the serpents that we see.

Here he can talk unusual we take this to be satan cast down from heaven for trying to cause a revolt with a third of the angels.

These angels are not good beings at all and we come to know them as demons or devils.

Here we see that from the start Satan has tried his best to upset the plans of God in this world.

we find because of sin that Adam and Eve were to leave the Garden

i guess its was a first round to satan.

when God was passing out the penalties for sin we find.

that satan or the serpent was the first to be punished

then came the woman

and to the man

there is the curse of sin on the serpent the woman and the man and then we were turned out of the beautiful Garden.

sin had entered into the world and sin had to be atone fore

Here we see that God who loved them so much gave of a life that there nakedness might be covered.

Blood needed to be spilt to atone foe sin

as they wore their clothes made of skin the blood of the animal that was on the skin would come into contact with their flesh covering their nakedness and sin.

there was a plan of salvation long before sin entered into the world.

we step to Abraham and his testing

but what about his words to his son.

not just in this time but in a time in the future.

place and time are important to God

we need to be in the right place at the right time to bring glory to God.

would Abraham have offered his son ?

I believe he would because he belived that the God that had guided his life up to this point and he had seen what God could do

He had the faith to believe that if death came so would life.

death came in the garden and so came live.

death came on the mountain and so came life.

The passover lamb we have looked at this morning for the children to live.

what we can see that there has to be blood spilt for sin so we can go free

further down the line of time into the wilderness of sin with the children of Israel They were given by God all the different types of sacrifices for the worship of the children of Israel and one of the offerings was the sin offering it speaks for itself.

but what was significant about this offering was that the Lamb had to be spotless just like the pascal lamb the lamb of the passover but the difference was that instead of the blood being painted on the doorposts and lintals of the home this blood was to be taken into the holy of Hollis to see if it would be accepted of God.

explain the tent of meeting and its con-finds.

this blood if accepted would give covering for the people for another year, the word here is covering.

we move further down in time to king David

and the sacrifice on the threshing floor of Ornan

because of the sin of David he bought the threshing floor of Ornam and offered his burnt offering to God for his sin.

the ground cost him but it was money well spent.

as we have seen that Solomen built the temple of the Lord upon it,

from Abraham- David from David to Soloman the continuity is maintained.

Is that the end no.

sin still happened the blood of the lamb needed to be offered

Abraham prophesied about the lamb and i the fullness of time he came

what time of year did Jesus die

was this a coincidence or one of Gods appointed times

Here we have the lamb of God Jesus hanging on a cross

Here the lamb of God on a cross dyeing for what he had committed no sin but had become sin for us.

do i believe that he was the son of God YES.

IF HE HAD COME TO TAKE AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD HOW DO I KNOW HIS SACRIFICE WAS ACCEPTED.

Jesus Christ had taken away our sins with his own blood and he had taken this blood into the hoyl of holies an God had shown his acceptance by the vail be torn from top to the bottom

Jesus Blood would not again cover for another year but would was away for Good.

a set of coincidences or divine appointments with God.

how you have a divine appointment with God right now.

Because of death there come life.

passover was the beginning of a new year when you accept Christ your new year begins
