He is Risen! Indeed! This is a special time of year in which disciples of Jesus Christ celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from Death to Life. It is amazing that some 3500 years ago, as the people of Israel were preparing to flee the land in which they had been held as slaves for around 400 years, God gave them a picture of the salvation that would come in the Passover. A lamb was killed for each household and would be their final supper in the land of their enslavement. They were to take the blood of the lamb and smear it upon the door frame of their homes. That night, as Death went through the land, when it came to a house with the blood of the lamb on the door, he would “pass over” that house, and they would be spared the death of a loved one. The feast of the Passover was given as a perpetual ordinance to be observed every year on the 14th day of the first month.
