Exodus 12:1-28: The Passover and the Blood of the Lamb

The Rev. Adam DeGroot, pastor of Calvary Lutheran Church in Rio Rancho, NM, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Exodus 12:1-28.

Happy New Year! God tells Moses and Aaron, “This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you.” (v. 2) While chapter 12 will ultimately describe the final plague—the death of the firstborn—before and after Moses relays instructions regarding the Passover. The blood of a lamb which causes death to pass over God’s people points to the blood of The Lamb, Jesus Christ.

It’s the true story of God reaching down into history and, through an unlikely prophet, redeeming his chosen people from slavery. It’s the story of Exodus, but it’s also the story of us all. How through Christ, God has liberated us from sin, death, and the Devil. Don’t miss this chapter-by-chapter study of the Book of Exodus on Thy Strong Word.
