January 25th Devotion

Exodus 12:13 (NIV)
13 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.

“When I see the blood, I will pass over you” Not only did God save and deliver the Hebrews, His promise is to us also. Jesus is the Passover lamb, whose blood covers over us. When the death angel sees the blood of Jesus, he simply passes by that person. Truly God does love us. Romans 5:12 tells us that the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ.

Sadly, countless people have rejected life, and searched for salvation “my way”, only to find eternal punishment at the end of their lives. Brothers and sisters, this is of the utmost importance. Nothing can save us from God except God himself. Doesn’t it almost seem silly to think any other way?

Remember, the blood was no good anywhere but the doorpost of the Hebrew houses. They could not bottle it and travel with it. There was only one way. We must be diligent to guard ourselves from denying that truth giving anyone a false sense of security by letting them believe otherwise. It really does boil down to either “Israel or Egypt”. I choose Israel.
