The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.\u201d (Jn. 1: 29).<\/p>\n<p>Jesus Christ is our Passover lamb who takes all the penalty of sin and death away from us.\u00a0 The Apostle Paul tells us, \u201cFor the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.\u201d (Rom. 6: 23).<\/p>\n<p>The Israelites were instructed to put the blood of the Passover lamb on the door posts because I believe it was symbolic of the heart of each believer in the New Testament.\u00a0 A person protects his home by what He allows to come in through the door or entrance.<\/p>\n<p>We protect our lives or heart by what we allow to enter into our heart, and what we allow to flow out of it through our speech.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKeep your heart with all diligence, for out of it springs the issues of life.\u00a0 Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put perverse lips far from you.\u201d (Prov. 4: 23, 24).<\/p>\n<p>Jesus Christ explained a parable to His disciples.\u00a0 \u201cSo He said to them, \u201cAre you thus without understanding also?\u00a0 Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd He said, \u201cWhat comes out of a man, that defiles a man.\u00a0 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll these evil things come from within and defile a man.\u201d (Mk. 7: 18-23).<\/p>\n<p>The children of Israel were to eat the lamb roasted in fire with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs. (See Ex. 12: 1).\u00a0 They ate the lamb with unleavened bread because leaven was symbolic of sin and the bitter herbs were symbolic of the bitterness of the bondage of the slavery in Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>The Seder of the Passover meal was fulfilled by Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, \u201cWhere do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd He said, \u201cGo into the city to a certain man, and say to him, \u201cThe Teacher says, \u201cMy time is at hand, I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen evening had come, He sat down with the twelve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow as they were eating, He said, \u201cAssuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.\u201d (Mt. 26: 17-21).<\/p>\n<p>We know that Jesus Christ was betrayed by Judas, his treasurer, for 30 pieces of silver.\u00a0 It is interesting that 30 pieces of silver was the price of a slave.\u00a0 Jesus Christ was a slave of the love of God for your sins and my sins.<\/p>\n<p>He went to the cross willingly to suffer for your sins and sicknesses so that you might be saved and healed.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus Christ takes the unleavened bread of the Passover meal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, \u201cTake, eat: this is My body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, \u201cDrink from it, all of you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.\u201d (Mt. 26: 26-28).<\/p>\n<p>Jesus Christ suffered in His body for your sins and sicknesses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:\u00a0 Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges<\/p>\n<p>righteously; Who Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness by whose stripes you were healed.\u201d (I Pet. 2: 22-25).<\/p>\n<p>Jesus took the stripes of a whip on His back to heal you in your body.\u00a0 He suffered in His body so that you might be healed.\u00a0 Let your faith be released to receive your miracle through His sufferings for you.<\/p>\n<p>Your faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ at the cross remits your sins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen He said to them, \u201cThus it is written, and thus it was necessary for Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem and you are witnesses of these things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBehold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(Lu. 24: 46-49).<\/p>\n<p>The Greek word for remission:\u00a0 <strong>aphesis <\/strong>means \u201ca dismissal, release.\u00a0 It is used of the forgiveness of sins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd according to the law, almost all things are purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no remission.\u201d (Heb. 9: 22).<\/p>\n<p>Jesus Christ\u2019s blood was shed so that when you believe upon Him<\/p>\n<p>your sins would be released from your debt before Him.\u00a0 Just like the<\/p>\n<p>Israelites were released from the bondage of slavery on the day of Passover, so are you released from the bondage of sin and death.<\/p>\n<p>The children of Israel ate the Passover lamb in haste. (See Ex. 12: 11).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all gods of Egypt.\u00a0 I will execute judgment.\u00a0 I am the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are.\u00a0 And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague (corona virus) shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.\u201d (Ex. 12: 13).<\/p>\n<p>The blood of the lamb delivered the children of Israel from the bondage of slavery.\u00a0 The blood of the Lamb of God delivers us from the slavery to sin and death.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLittle children, let no one deceive you.\u00a0 He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning.\u00a0 For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.\u201d\u00a0 (I Jn. 3: 7, 8).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Prayer<\/u><\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u201cFather, in the name that is above all names, Jesus Christ, I ask that you manifest your power to heal my partners of all sickness.\u00a0 I command in the name of Jesus Christ that the spirit of infirmity go from them now.\u201d Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You should get this message before Passover begins on April 8, 2020 at sundown. \u201cNow the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the Land of Egypt, saying, \u201cThis month shall be your beginning of months;
