Part 15 - I am baptized in Jesus name to apply the blood of Christ our Passover to my life
“For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:" -
1 Corinthians 5:7 KJV
When the children of Israel were in bondage to Pharaoh in
Egypt, God delivered them. He sent plagues, attempting to cause Pharaoh to let
His people go. Pharaoh kept changing his mind.
"Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and
said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and
kill the passover." - Exodus 12:21 KJV
"And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the
two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat
it." - Exodus 12:7 KJV
"For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians;
and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the
LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto
your houses to smite you." - Exodus 12:23 KJV
Jesus is our Passover lamb that was sacrificed for us.
Jesus was crucified at Passover. (John 19:14-15). Like the
bones of the Passover lamb, Jesus’ bones were not broken. (Exodus 12:46, John
19:33, 36). He was without blemish (Exodus 12:5, 1 Peter 1:19). Bitter herbs
were eaten with the Passover to remember their bitter bondage. Jesus was given
vinegar just before His death to remind us of our bitter bondage to sin and
death. (Exodus 12:8, John 19:29-30, Hebrews 2:14-15).
It was not enough that the Passover lamb DIED to save them
from the destroyer. The blood of the Passover lamb had to be APPLIED. (Exodus
12:23
Jesus DIED for our sins. Just as the blood of the Passover
lamb had to be applied, we must APPLY the blood of Jesus for remission of sins
to be saved. (Acts 2:38).
We APPLY His blood when we are baptized in Jesus name. (Romans 6:3-4).
"Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into
Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?" - Romans 6:3 KJV
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38 KJV
