Safe By The Blood

Now, let’s go back to the Passover ceremony. The blood was in the basin. It had to be transferred to the house. They plucked a little bunch of hyssop, dipped it in the blood, and then sprinkled it on the door. They were safe.

Now, Paul says,

“Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.”

In other words, Christ has been slain nineteen centuries ago. To use the terms of the analogy, the blood is in the basin.

But the blood in the basin doesn’t protect anybody. We have the same situation as Israel. We’ve got to get the blood from the basin to the place where we live. Then we’re protected, provided we’re obedient.
