The Passover & Jesus: Study Packet, Page 8 & 1 – Short Answer 2
- Some Key Bible Verses:
- - When Prophesying about the Messiah, Isaiah says He will be
- - - “…like a lamb that is led to slaughter…” (Isaiah 53:7)
- - John the Baptist sees Jesus and says He is…
- - - “…the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (Jn 1:29)
- - Jesus’ friend, Peter shares that
- - - Christians “were not redeemed w/perishable things … but w/precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.” (1 Peter 1:18-19)
- - Paul very directly relates Christianity & Jesus to both of feasts—
- - - “Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed.” (1 Corinthians 5:7)
- - - - In the New Testament, sometimes leaven/yeast represented sin
- - - - - Since just as a little leaven will affect an entire piece of dough for bread, so a little sin will affect our entire life!
- - - - - Here we are encouraged to clean out the old leaven/sin
- So, how is Jesus like the Passover Lamb? A direct comparison:
- - For the Passover Lamb:
- - - It was without any physical blemish (Ex 12:5)
- - - No bones broken (Ex 12:46)
- - - Sacrificed to save them from physical death
- - - It’s sacrifice didn’t automatically save them, they had to choose to put it over their doors
- - For Jesus in the New Testament:
- - - Jesus was without any spiritual blemish, sin
- - - - 2 Cor. 5:21, “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” (NIV)
- - - No bones broken
- - - - John 19:32-33, 36, “32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. 33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. . . 36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken”” (NIV)
- - - - Also see Psalm 22:17 & 34:20
- - - Sacrificed to save us from spiritual death (the worst consequence of Adam & Eve's sin)
- - - His sacrifice didn’t automatically save all, we have to choose to, in faith, accept it over our lives (Rom 10:9-10)
Exodus 12:1-15:21: The Passover & Exodus: Study Packet, Page 2
The Exodus:
- Pharaoh lost his own son in the last plague
- - That night he commands Israel to leave!
- - Israel ‘kindly plunders’ Egypt :-) (just like Abraham & Moses were told!)
- - ~600,000+ leave! Their trailmix
= unleavened bread- God led Israel out
- - Using a pillar of cloud (by day)
- - And a pillar of fire (by night)
- Side Notes
- - Israelites’ 1st born were devoted to God
- - God led Israel around battles
- - Moses brought Joseph bones w/them (Why?)
- - - It was what Joseph made his family promise to do!
- - - They had been in Egypt with them for all ~400 years as a reminder that God would bring them out!
- God warned Moses…
- - Pharaoh pursues them!
- - But, God will get glory in this!
Pharaoh’s Pursuit:
- Pharaoh & his officials changed their minds—
- - They sent their army out to bring Israel back!
- Israel gets stuck between them & the Red Sea!
- - Israel accuses God of bringing them out to die
- - Moses says, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. . . The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still” (14:11-14, NIV).
- - The pillar of fire/cloud moved behind Israel—
- - - Separating Egypt from them for the entire night!
Crossing the Red Sea:
Crossing the Red Sea:
- Moses raised his staff/hands over the Red Sea &
- - God, w/a wind, divided the water as two walls—
- - - Israel went through it on dry ground!
- - God threw the pursuing Egyptian army into confusion.
- - - He even caused their chariots to jam & break!
- When Israel was through, the sea was closed,
- - Drowning every pursuing Egyptian.
- Israel saw…
- - They feared God, & put their trust in Him & Moses.
- - Moses & Miriam (a prophetess) led them in 2 songs
- - - Songs praising God for His glory, power, & love toward Israel!
- - - Miriam is Moses’ older sister
