A Day to Remember - Passover

God instructed Moses and Aaron that the nation of Israel should remember the day they were redeemed from the slavery of Egypt. On that day, the angel of the Lord passed over the houses smeared with the blood of the sacrificial lamb and spared the life of the eldest male child. God salvation was sure, but it took a long time. Traditions such as this, have helped to preserve the faith of the nation of Israel till today. For Christians, Passover is associated with Christ's crucifixion. He is the sacrificial lamb through whose death we obtained redemption from our sins.


Exodus 12:14 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.
