God is shaking the whole world. In the wake of the Coronavirus, everyone around the world is being compelled to “stay home” and life as usual is coming to a halt. Passover celebrates the Exodus from Egypt and the Israelites’ freedom from slavery. On that fateful night God told the Israelites to sacrifice a spotless lamb and mark their doorposts and lintels with its blood. Then the Lord would “pass over” the houses with blood. The blood of the lamb saved the Nation! The four cups of Passover represent: Sanctification, Deliverance, Redemption, Restoration. Today we mark our house, the door of our hearts with the Blood of Christ. The Angel of Death will pass over each believer in Messiah as surely as He passed over each Israelite in Egypt. We are already living our eternal life!
