The Blood That Save

Bunkhouse Beacon – The Blood That Saves

Exodus 12:5-7 NKJV Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats. Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight. 7 And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it

Exodus 12:13 NKJV Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

The Israelites were instructed to take a lamb into their homes, to know it, to care for it, and then to sacrifice it.

This wasn't arbitrary cruelty; it was a profound lesson about the cost of redemption.

The lamb died so the people could live. The blood on the doorposts wasn't magical; it was obedience to God's provision for salvation.

Sin requires sacrifice.

This truth echoes through Scripture until we reach Calvary, where the final Lamb was slain.

You and I have been spared not because we're worthy, but because the blood of Jesus covers us.

When we truly grasp that the Lamb died so we could live, worship becomes our natural response. Today, don't take your salvation for granted. Remember the cost.

What does it mean to you personally that "the lamb dies so people can live"?

Grace and Peace
