During the first month of Israel's second year in the Sinai Desert, the LORD had told Moses to say to the people, "Celebrate Passover in the evening of the fourteenth day of this month and do it by following all the regulations." But if any of you refuse to celebrate Passover when you are ot away on a journey, you will no longer belong to my people. You will be punished because you did not offer sacrifices to me at the proper time.
The Passover and Exodus is God's crowning achievement for the deliverance of his people. It was to be remembered to all generations that followed the first one as a lasting ordinance to his Chosen People. In later books of the Old Testament, we will see other "types" of an exodus and passover where God will protect his people and bring them into their land from captivity. The withdrawl of the Jews from slavery is a time to remember God's faithfulness and his love.
Daily Prayer: Father, we at the church have our own exodus. In is called being born again or regeneration of the inner man. Here we I am delivered from slavery of the flesh so that I can worship you in faith and in spirit. By the work of Jesus Christ, I have been set free. In Jesus' name I pray Amen.
