Read Numbers 9:1-5 and Exodus 12:1-29. What spiritual truths can we take away from these accounts for ourselves? As you read, think, for example, about such things as obedience, grace, redemption, faith, and judgment
  
   The passover marked the beginning of months for them (12:1)
  
   This was significant because their deliverance marked the
   the beginning of their calender year. Their deliverance from
   Egypt was the start of a new phase in their lives. Each person
   who accepts the blood of Jesus for the atonement of their sins
   starts new. They can forget their old lives and begin to
   measure their years from the point of their deliverance.
  
   Each household was to bring a sacrifice and if they could not
   afford it they were to join in with their neighbor. (12:3)
  
   I saw community in this passage. One household helped out another
   household so that they might be saved. We too should look out
   for the salvation of our neighbors. We must provide an opportunity
   for those who can not afford the sacrifice to be saved. There are
   those who are weak and need the help of their neighbor to make it
   spiritually. We must be that help in their times of need.
  
   They were to put the blood of the lamb on the doorposts of their
   homes (12:7)
  
   We must cover our homes and we must cover our lives in the blood
   of Jesus.
  
   The Lord was to bring Judgment on Israel and all whos homes
   were not covered with the blood would be destroyed.(12:12-13)
  
   Those who were not covered in the blood would be destroyed in the
   judgment. Though this is a sad scene it lets us now that we can
   find safety from the Judgment when covered by the blood of Jesus.
  
How are the followers of Jesus to commemorate the Passover today? Luke 22:15, 19, 20. What is this service to remind us of?
  
   We commemorate the passover today with the Lords supper. Having
   this background imagery of the passover makes communion more
   meaningful. We must keep in mind what Christ did for the deliverance
   of Israel and our deliverance as we celebrate each communion.
  
Prayer: Father please cover us with your blood, cover our lives cover our families.Protect us from the death of sin, and its poisonous influence. We desire that our neighbors be saved, bind us all together with your love. Thank you for what you have done for us in your death, may we commemorate your death with each communion and with each day given for your glory. Thank you in Jesus name amen.
