Joni and Friends Daily Devotional April 8, 2013
Dear Carmen,
The Passover Lamb
"Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs... On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn... The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt." Exodus 12:7,12-13

We usually think of the Day of Atonement as a time of sin-sacrifice. It was during atonement day - sometime equivalent to our August - that the nation of Israel sought reconciliation for its sins. After sacrificing a bullock, the high priest chose a goat for a sin offering and sacrificed it. After that, a scapegoat bearing the sins of the people was sent into the wilderness - this scapegoat symbolized the pardon for sin brought through the sacrifice. With all this emphasis on sin and sacrifice, ever wonder why Jesus didn't go to the cross on the Day of Atonement?

God chose Passover rather than the Day of Atonement as the time His Son would go to the cross. Jesus is not symbolized as a bullock or a goat, but a lamb. At the first Passover in Egypt, it was the blood of a lamb that was smeared on the sides and tops of the door frames, ensuring that the firstborn of the family would not be killed. God provided an escape for His people from judgment. He provided deliverance. He provided a way of rescue.

This is what God provided through Christ's death and resurrection. A way of escape. A deliverance. The Day of Atonement was an opportunity for the people to do something for God; but the Passover symbolizes a time God did something for His people. And so it is true of the cross - we have done nothing for it, but it has done everything for us.
_________________________________


Notice that the blood of the lamb was not smeared on the threshold of the doors of the Israelites' homes. The blood was not to be trampled underfoot. The lesson is for us today: Christ has rescued us through His precious blood. May we never tread on His gift nor crush underfoot His favor.

Praise You, Lord Jesus, for rescuing and delivering me, just as You delivered the Israelites from judgment. Thank You, Lamb of God.

Blessings,

Joni and Friends

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Really you MORON? Your purpose is to let We The People know where YOU stand?? I always thought the purpose if the Senate was to pass laws the PEOPLE want, not what you want! We The PEOPLE LOVE the fact that these Senators are standing up for our rights! All the rest of you morons need to pack your bags....YOUR FIRED!

(Breitbart) – Sen. John McCain (R-Sunday Shows) expressed bewilderment on CBS’ “Face the Nation” that GOP Sens. Cruz, Lee and Paul would filibuster gun control legislation. “I don’t understand it,” McCain said. “The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” With all due respect to Sen. McCain, that is almost completely backward.
