| On the night of the first Passover, many of the
children of Israel were probably anxious. Imagine one Israelite asking
another nervously, “Did you hear that the angel of death is passing
through tonight?” |
|
| “Yes! We were told to put the blood of the lamb
on the doorposts of our home and everything would be all right. Is that
true?” |
|
| Like the Israelites, you might be wondering, “Can the
blood really protect me? How much blood do I have to put on my
doorposts? Will the angel of death get me if I am fearful?” |
|
| My friend, don’t
add to God’s conditions. He said, “When I see the blood,
I will pass over you and the plague shall not be on you to destroy
you.” He did not say, “When I see the blood, plus your understanding,
efforts, obedience, faithfulness and refusal to give in to fear, then I
will pass over you.” |
|
| It is the blood of Jesus alone that delivers
you. If you think that it is because of your faith, then you will always
be wondering, “Do I have enough faith?” No my friend, it is His blood
alone that saves. And when God sees that you see that it is the blood
alone that saves, He calls that faith in the blood, and every plague
will pass over you! |
|
| God wants you to know that it is Jesus’ blood alone
that saves because every time you think that your deliverance depends
partly on God and partly on you, you will not have a settled peace in
your heart. But when you know that it is the blood alone that saves, you
will have an unshakable peace. |
|
| It was the blood
that saved the children of Israel from the destroyer on that Passover
night and it is still the blood that saves today. And all you need to do
for the blood to avail is to say, “Father, I thank You that the blood
of Jesus alone covers me and my family. No evil, plague or disaster will
befall me or my family because of the blood!” |
