I mentioned this morning in the sermon the Passover "service" that was prescribed by YHWY in Exodus 12. Tim Keller's thoughts on the significance of Passover are insightful:
Imagine you were in Egypt just after that first Passover. If you stopped Israelites in those days and said, "Who are you and what is happening here?" They would say, "I was a slave, under a sentence of death, but I took shelter under the blood of the lamb and escaped that bondage, and now God lives in our midst and we are following him to the Promised Land." That is exactly what Christians say today (Tim Keller, King's Cross, 172).
