The Bread and the Blood Easter 2018

1 Corinthians 5:7b For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. NIV

The Passover is a celebration commemorating the last of the Egyptian plagues, when the judgement of God passed over the homes that had lamb s blood on the door frames. In a similar way, Jesus, the Lamb of God, shed his blood so that His sacrifice would cover our sins. When we understand the depth of this sacrifice it fosters a response of thankfulness and joy in our lives. Easter is a great time to celebrate the sacrifice of the Lamb of God, the forgiveness of sins, and the resurrection of Christ!
