Finding Significance by Relating with God through the Lord’s Passover
Passover was originally inaugurated to mark and remember Israel’s deliverance from the bondage of Egypt. God heard the cries of the people, and determined that it was time to do a creative, redemptive act. In reality, He revealed a new way of bringing people into relationship with Him. Anybody seeking redemption, restoration and a relationship with God can benefit from understanding the greater significance of what Passover represents!
A lamb without blemish was sacrificed, and its blood was washed over the doorposts of the home, marking the house “off limits” for the angel of death that struck the first-born of Egypt.
The LORD revealed truth and gave meaning to this sacrifice—His sacrifice. He became the way, the truth and the life! In Him, you have new life! Regardless of your past, God sees you as a new creature. He has accepted you, loves you, values you and wants to give you a new sense of self-worth and purpose. He wants to do a new thing in you! Accepting and receiving the fullness of the LORD’s love and justification for your righteousness, and gaining enlightenment of a new standing and personal relationship with God opens the way to discovering the fullness of your significance in life.
REFLECTION, REALITY AND RESPONSE In what areas do you need to see God’s redemption, or deliverance from a particular type of bondage? This could be anything; an addiction, bad habit, besetting sin, form of oppression, state of mind, bad situation, etc. Take your case to God in prayer. Let God’s Holy Spirit lead you in His Word. Let it work in your heart. Receive the saving and sanctifying grace of the LORD’s deliverance in faith. Continue to talk to God about the issue. As He helps you through, He will bring you to a level of peace and understanding. The LORD is your deliverer! The Holy Spirit is your teacher and source of real empowerment and life of liberty. One final note: as it relates to eternal life, are you sure that you would be justified before God as righteous, and be eternally at peace with God in heaven? I encourage you to read John 3:16-21 and Romans 10:6-10. Then read and meditate on John 14-16; and receive the prayer the LORD prayed for you in John 17.
