Exodus 12:7, 13; 1 Corinthians 5:7; Colossians 1:13–14

In Exodus 12, the blood of the lamb marked the homes of Israel:
“When I see the blood, I will pass over you and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.” (Exodus 12:13).
The blood was a sign of protection and separation.
Paul later writes: “Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us” (1 Corinthians 5:7).
Just as Israel was delivered from Egypt, we are delivered from the kingdom of darkness.
“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins” (Colossians 1:14).
Egypt represents bondage. The blood represents freedom.
Reflect:
Where do I need to trust the covering of the blood?
Am I living like someone delivered from Egypt?

You are no longer a slave. The blood marks you as redeemed. What was meant to destroy you must pass over you.
