FULL DISCLOSURE ON THE MIRACLE OF PASSOVER:
1 Cor 5:7-8 TPT
"So remove every trace of your โleavenโ of compromise with sin so that you might become new and pure again. For indeed, you are clean because Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us.
So now we can celebrate our continual feast, not with the old โleaven,โ the yeast of wickedness or bitterness, but we will feast on the freshly baked bread of innocence and holiness".
Perhaps, the most significant display of the love of God in human history other than the "death- burial - and- resurrection of Christ", is the "Passover".
That is why it is still celebrated in many quarters today. And even Christ himself in his earthly ministry celebrated the Passover with his disciples.
But what really was the Passover? A real event ?, or a shadow of a future event?
Our opening text alludes to the later.
The opening text says the passover Lamb is Christ himself, which means that lamb killed in Egypt was a mere symbol, and the original passover event, a mere shafow of the real event which is the Cross.
So for full disclosure, let us look at the signification ( potential interpretation) of this event.
First, the 'Blood on the doorpost and lintel'.
This was a mark of separation.
A sanctification, if you like, of the chosen people of God.
This same separation or sanctification is fulfilled today in them who are born-again by the seal of the HolyGhost put upon us.
Ephesians 4:30
"And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption".
As the blood on the doorpost exempted the Israelites from the plague of death, so also the Spirit of Christ indwelling the believer exempts them from the 2nd death.
For as the blood on the doorpost procured innocence and holiness for all within that house, so the blood of the true Lamb of God hath procured eternal innocence and holiness for those who are the called in Christ Jesus.
As all inside those houses weren't afraid, neither should we.
