Exodus 12:1-28
Passover: 1/10 prepare the lamb & bread without yeast, bitter herb, 1/14 slaughter year-old lamb with defect at twinight. Eating bread without yeast until 1/21, 7 days, no any yeast in you home. January in religious calender is about March/April.
May share lamb with your neighbor, taken into account the number of people there are.
Eat lamb with bitter herb and bread without yeast, with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand, eat it hasty.-- means it is emergency event.
Do not leave any of it till morning, if some is left, you must burn it.
Do not work on these 7 days. Except to prepare food for everyone to eat.
Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into lamb blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and both sides of the door frame.
Why?
Prepare lamb for 4 days to check it is not defect lamb. Our life will be observed in the world by God
The blood means protection of Jesus.
Lamb must be roasted and with head and inside parts, it means a burn offering to the Load.
Share the lamb with family or neighbor means has the same mind and same mercy from the lamb-Jesus
Bitter herb remind them of all their suffering in Egypt.
The flat unleavened bread recalls the haste of their departure(No time to use yeast,' leaven'. and wait for the bread to rise.) But they did not empty handed.
Israel is the first born of The Load
How?
Passover means Jesus is our passover, protect us from the angry of the God for sin.
My life in the world will be verified by God.
We celebrate the Easter and Christmas to 1) memorize Jesus, do not forget the love from the Load, 2)eating means we more closer to our Load through Jesus. Jesus is the bread of life.3)Blood is Jesus blood for us
