Theme: I Believe in Communion

Blood of the Lamb

Read Exodus 12:7–13

From the first sin, God has made a way to cover sin and erase it from the person’s record. At their root, sin offerings involve blood sacrifice.

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 (Exodus 12:13).

As the Israelites were preparing to leave Egypt, God made a way for them to show they were protected from the coming plague—they put fresh blood on their doorposts. To remember this event, Jewish people even today still gather to relive the night before they left Egypt.

Christians also join together in worship to remember how God provided a lamb for their salvation. We take Communion to remember how Jesus became a sin offering for the world. Anyone can ask God to put the blood of the Lamb on the doorposts of their heart. Afterwards, He will remove from them the consequences of sin and pass over them at the time of judgment.

Thought for Today: Because of Jesus’ death, we can have life.

Prayer is our link with God, an awesome avenue through which we can express praise and adoration to Him for His goodness, love, and mercy; and an avenue through which we can voice our petitions and concerns. God's Word assures us that we can "come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:16).

Prayer also moves the hand of God on behalf of needs and circumstances in our church, our families, our community, nation, and world. Take time to pray and intercede for these areas as God leads you. Become part of a prayer group and intercede with others in times of corporate prayer. As you seek God's help, expect reports of great victory to follow as God answers prayer.
