The Passover Lamb of God

 As another Passover is celebrated 
The foreshadowing of what was to come 
Celebrating a future fulfillment of the promise 
A promise made from the foundation of the world 
The Passover Lamb of God 
 
His broken body would be pierced for our transgressions 
He would be crushed for our iniquities 
By His scourging we would be healed 
He would be poured out even to death for our sin 
His blood would be shed to overcome death’s sting 
The Passover Lamb of God 
 
And yet, He was despised and forsaken of men 
A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief 
And like one from whom men hide their face 
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him 
The Passover Lamb of God 
 
The Righteous One who came to serve 
His sacrifice made, the price paid that many might be set free 
Redemption accomplished through an act of His loving-kindness 
Grace and mercy interceding for our transgressions 
The Passover Lamb of God 
 
Salvation is among us, liberty and life anew 
Rejoice for He has risen, Rejoice for He is alive 
Our Passover Lamb of God 
Our Redeemer, Our Savior, Our Lord 
Jesus 

Passover

The Passover celebration occurs this coming week - April 15^th to be exact. I would encourage you to read the Passover account that can be found in the book of Exodus chapter 12 verses 1-32 as we approach Passion week. Additionally, I would encourage you to also read from the book of Luke chapter 22 verses 1-23; Christ's Passover observance.

Christ is our Passover, He is the Passover Lamb of God, He saves us from the destroyer by His shed blood…from out of the darkness He has rescued us from bondage and redeemed us by His sacrifice.

Is the blood of Christ on the doorposts and lintel of your heart?

The box of our own making

Why do we put God in a box of our own making? 

Why do we try to limit His majesty and His glory and His power? 

We so desire to control our lives in a way that makes sense to us that we miss the miraculous, the amazing, the glorious and majestic hand of the Living God.

A quote for ponderment: "God is looking for those with whom He can do the impossible -- what a pity that we plan only the things that we can do by ourselves." A.W. Tozer
