During Pharaoh’s reign, many plagues were brought on the people of Egypt, of which, none got the full attention of Pharaoh until the death of every first born child. God made a promise with His people to pass over their home, as long as they had the blood of the chosen sacrifice, a lamb without blemish, over their door.

God gave us a promise that death would come. He also provided a way out, by the blood of the lamb, Jesus Christ. Before Passover, God gave instructions to Moses about how the sacrifice was to be prepared. Much like His people, we have to do our part to claim the blood of the lamb without blemish, Jesus Christ, so that God can provide us an escape from death.
