For the past few weeks Pastor T.D. Jakes and Paula White has been talking about the significance of Passover in the Christian religion. I always looked at Passover as a Jewish holiday but I recently learned that it has underlying spiritual meaning in the Christian faith.
From my understanding, the angel of death was going to smite the first born in the land of Egypt both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt so that the God of the Israelites can execute judgment and show that He is Lord. (Exodus 12:12).
The Israelites were asked to roast a lamb and take the lamb's blood and post it agaisnt their house door post, so that the angel of death can passover their household.
This is significant to Christians because the blood of the lamb represents what Jesus did on the cross. He was blameless, without any sin or spot. It's the same way God told the Israelites to get a lamb without a blemish....Exodus 12:5 - "Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year; you shall take it from the sheep or the goats." Exodus 12:13 - "The blood shall be for a token, a sign to you upon the door posts of the houses where you are. When I see the blood, I will pass over you and no plague shall be upon you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt. You shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations, keep it as an ordinance forever."
As a result of my understanding, when I pray and declare that I'm covered with the blood of Jesus, it's like God is protecting me and allowing things to pass over me like He did for the Israelites.
My question to you ladies - have your Pastor talked about the significance of Passover? What have you learned from it?
