When I see the blood, I will Passover you.
The "Passover Lamb" in Ex. 12, is the most lucid picture of salvation by the blood. Notice:
1. The season
"It shall be the beginning of months...the first month of the year to you" Gen 12:2. Jesus, the lamb of God, our Passover, shedding of his blood is the beginning of life for ever believer.
2. Sinless
"Your lamb shall be without blemish" Ex 12:5. "Christ...who did no sin"; "Who knew no sin" 1 Pet. 2:21, 2 Cor. 5:21
3. The substitute...
"They shall take to them every man a lamb...a lamb for an house" vs 3. "Behold the lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world" John 1:29. He took our place.
4. He was slain
"The whole assembly of Israel shall kill it in the evening: Ex. 12:6. "Christ died for our sins" 1 Cor 15:4.
5. The Suffering
"And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire" Ex. 12:8. "For Christ has once suffered for sins" 1 Peter 3:18.
6. Sprinkle
"And they shall take of the blood and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses" Ex. 12:7. "The blood of Jesus Christ, His Son cleanses us from all sin" 1 John 1:7.
7. Seen
"And when I see the blood, I will pass over you" Ex, 12:13. "Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin" Heb 9:22.
There are two things about sin. There is a penalty, "the wages of sin is death" Rom. 6:23 and there is the pollution of sin. Christ suffered and died for our sins that paid the penalty in full. He shed His blood to cleanse us from sin and that takes care of the pollution of sins.
