June 28

Running with Jesus   

Luke 22:1 "Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover."

      Passover was the feast the Jews celebrated their liberation from bondage to Egypt. The last plague that liberated them was death of all first born children. The death angel passed through the land and all Jews who killed a lamb and put its blood over the door post lived. Jesus was to become the Passover Lamb for all mankind. Where the blood of Jesus is applied to sinful man, death will pass over us. 

     You have heard born once die twice, born twice we die once. The first death is physical and will come to all. The second death is spiritual separation from God and it is eternal. Jesus came and died as the Passover lamb making atonement for our sin. I am so glad I know the Passover lamb and one day I will close my eyes in this life but I will wake up in heaven and I will not die the second death. I pray you know the Passover lamb so eternal death will not come to you.  Can we have a hallelujah shouting time that is indeed due a celebration! 

Father, we are so thankful we don't have to worry about death. We are thankful for Jesus’ blood that covers us so we can have eternal life with You forever! Thank You for liberating us from the greatest bondage of mankind that is sin and death. 

Watch out in the morning Satan makes a sly entrance!
