TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - MARCH 1, 2023
Wednesday, March 1, 2023 at 9:49AM The Faith of Moses
Today is March 1, 2023
Welcome to March and your mid-week!
In one way, Passover is such a gruesome thing to celebrate.
I mean, to remember the night where death struck Egypt so severely that there was wailing throughout the country. To remember the night when you slaughtered a lamb and used its blood as paint over your door frame.
Yes, salvation from slavery was gained through that action. However, why did God ask that kind of action in the first place? Why have it celebrated every single year?
Well, the reason was to help us to see and understand our salvation from sin and death through Jesus Christ.
The New Testament writers agree, Passover foreshadows our salvation through Jesus. How, more than just a holiday, it was meant to help us to see and understand how we are spiritually enslaved by sin death, and how the death of someone without sin is the only way we can be delivered from that bondage.
This is the message that all people need to hear.
Suddenly, from that perspective, asking of the slaughtering of a lamb without defect in Moses' time makes sense. Asking God's people to celebrate it for ~1300 years as they are exiled and scattered throughout the world, makes sense.
Through Moses and God's people's faithfulness, are we now able to see better and understand clearer how Jesus Christ saves us. And that is why Moses' faith is commended by God.
God's blessing as you mediate on the faith of Moses and of God's salvation, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
