passover lamb

Why the Rapture makes sense and how the history of God's redemption and salvation is in harmony. The 7-year tribulation for the faithful obedient doesn't make sense without the rapture.  The Old Testament narrative of the Flood and the Exodus can give solid reference to God's grace and mercy in the rapture scenario.    

To quickly review, last time we examined the first two premises: how atonement was represented in the past through the biblical calendar and the Day of Atonement and also the significance of blood sacrifices in general. We also reviewed how Yeshua conveyed his role as the Good Shepherd, the Ransom, and the founder of the new covenant sealed with his own life.

Today, we are moving into the New Testament writings and how Yeshua's disciples interpreted his life and death.

• Lamb of God
• Paschal lamb (lamb sacrificed at Passover)
• Mediator/High Priest (Day of Atonement)

In all of these examples, God was teaching his people through object lessons, patterns, and foreshadowing that they would have understood from their own writings of how the fulfillment of these preparatory examples were completed and fulfilled in his Anointed One, his Messiah. Once we rise above the limiting horizon of scholarly theories, tradition, and orthodoxy, we can then begin to see the biblical picture of atonement for what it truly is. The atonement that Messiah provided was not one of literal blood sacrifice to calm the wrath of an angry deity, but a representative and allegorical atonement providing mercy and reconciliation that reaches into the very depths of each soul who trusts in him, Jew and non-Jew alike. The mercy and reconciliation of this atonement provides true freedom from sin and causes us to walk in the righteous ways of Yahweh as he always intended: from the heart, not through the traditions and rituals of men. Anyone, therefore, who exhibits faith in Messiah is therefore accepted into the Kingdom, and this is how it was always designed by God to be from the very beginning: to start like a seed from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and then at the fulfillment of all things in Messiah, to spread and grow like a blossoming tree until it fills the earth.

Across the course of the first nine plagues, all of Egypt's gods had proven worthless - the God of Israel had brought plagues upon the very things those gods were supposed to protect. And yet, Pharaoh had learned nothing. His heart had only grown harder.

However, the 10th plague would break his spirit and take his son. Following the events of the Passover night, God's people would be set free. And in the implementation of the Passover meal itself, a neon arrow would point forward to the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.

Questions That We'll Answer:
A) Why did it take ten plagues before Pharaoh obeyed God?
B) Why was God so specific regarding the "passover lamb?"
C) Were any Egyptians families spared on that fateful night?

How should we approach taking communion? 

Pastor Gray turns to 1 Corinthians 11:23-32 to teach the Church the power behind the bread and wine. 

What is our part? To examine ourselves before we partake.

Teaching Christocentric theology in the book of Exodus 12 and the meaning of Passover 

Scripture Used: John 1:19-29, Isaiah 53:7, Revelation 5:1-10 

Notes:

 - Unworthy to untie his sandals
   - Identifying himself as a slave, and Jesus as the master
   - John elevates Jesus, but he doesn’t put himself down. What is it about Jesus that elevates him?

 - The lamb of God 
   - Sacrificial lamb 
      - Abraham and Isaac, Passover Lamb, Jesus 
   - Silent Lamb 
      - Isaiah’s poems of the suffering servant 
      - Jesus before the Sanhedrin 
   - Victorious Lamb 
      - John at the throne room of heaven in Revelation 

- Reframing our purpose 
   - Pointing others to the glory of Christ 
   - What would this kind of life look like?

Jesus came to make God accessible to everyone. Jesus died so that people could have access to God. Are there places in our lives or in our church, or the Church, where we’re putting up barriers that make it more difficult for people on the outside to encounter God? Church is meant to be a place to practice dying to self, for the sake of others, even if that means you don’t get the song that you want, or the sermon (or preacher) that you want, or as many donut holes as you want. How can we make it easier for people to encounter God, either within our walls or outside of them?

Jesus is the Passover lamb. The only way we are going to Heaven is through His blood.
