4:31>> Ah, everybody. Hello. Hello. Hello. We

4:34got study today. Look, we were going to

4:36attempt to read the full chapter of 12,

4:38but we said absolutely not. In Exodus,

4:41we were not going to read this whole

4:43thing. Uh, y'all do me a favor. Try not

4:44to raise your hands right now. I will

4:47try to get to the questions, but I am

4:49easily distracted. [laughter]

4:51I'm easily distracted. So, when I see

4:54stuff like that, I just like I'll start

4:56looking off to that side and thinking

4:58about messages that I need to respond

5:00to. So, just try not to raise y'all

5:01hands on Zoom for me, but I see you all

5:04in the chat. And of course, I know

5:05Beverly typically addresses the chat.

5:08Um, does everybody have the physical

5:10Bibles before we start? Before we even

5:12get into it, does everyone have their

5:13physical Bibles? Y'all know how I feel.

5:15We know, we know, we know.

5:18>> Let's make sure you have them. Go ahead

5:20and lift up. Lift up.

5:23>> All right. Okay. All right. We know it.

5:27So, we know we don't play about the

5:28physical Bibles, right? We want to make

5:30sure that we have the physical Bible.

5:32This is your word. This is your

5:33guidance. This is your armor. This is

5:36your sword. This is the knowledge. This

5:38is your wisdom. This is God right here.

5:40We have them like right here. So,

5:42whenever we have moments of doubt worry.

5:44Um, whenever we're in a hard season, we

5:46have the word of God that revives us and

5:49gives us strength and encourages us. So,

5:50we want to make sure it gives us

5:51confidence. We want to make sure that we

5:53have the word of God with us everywhere

5:54that we go. Just carry the word of God,

5:56which who cares about what people have

5:57to say? cares about what everyone has to

5:59say, right? Doesn't matter. Okay. Yes, I

6:02see some of y'all. I actually I've been

6:04seeing a number of you all. I've been

6:06having the pleasure of meeting you all.

6:08So, [laughter] thank you for those who

6:10I've been meeting. It's been great. Uh

6:12y'all, I'm I'm trying to level myself

6:14out cuz today has been a really really

6:15really busy day. So, I'm It's just been

6:18a busy weekend. I had four shows this

6:19weekend. I'm still trying to level out

6:21from going from the West Coast to the

6:22East Coast to Central, back to the East

6:25Coast. I'm just kind of all over the

6:26place mentally. So, y'all bear with me

6:28today. Hope and pray I don't stumble

6:30across any words, but it sometimes it

6:32takes a moment for me to gather myself.

6:34And I haven't had enough days to really

6:36get enough rest. So, just work with me

6:38here, okay? Just just work with me here,

6:41okay? Um, once again, try not to raise

6:43your hands over here. I don't know if

6:44you're accidentally pushing that, but

6:45just try not to do that. Um, so we'll be

6:48in NLT,

6:50King James Version, and the Message

6:52Bible. We're going to do some back and

6:54forth just because there certain terms

6:55and words that we want to identify and

6:57go over. Uh I'm sure you all are

6:59probably familiar is before I even say

7:01this is there anyone who is new to

7:04Christ, anyone who is new to God, anyone

7:07who's like a babe in this and really

7:10trying to come to understand who God is.

7:12Well, glory be to God. I thank you all.

7:14For all of you all who are new,

7:16absolutely I love it. I am excited. I'm

7:19hoping that I can give you all something

7:21to work with.

7:23>> And I should have got him some water.

7:25>> You know, you know

7:28>> you playing.

7:29>> I did. I was I was I was playing. I did.

7:32I did. [laughter]

7:35I was playing. So y'all, um I do want to

7:37tell you all, like I said, if you don't,

7:39if you can, if you can't, absolutely

7:41fine. It doesn't matter. We We It

7:42doesn't matter. But if you all can get a

7:44Bible that has a map in it, it would be

7:46absolutely wonderful because once we get

7:48through the full chapter of 12, we are

7:50going all the way through Genesis.

7:52>> And this we're actually studying y'all.

7:54So, I'm not going to just be telling

7:55y'all stuff just to have fun and make

7:57y'all feel good and make y'all smile

7:58tonight and then going about your week.

7:59No, I want this to actually carry on

8:01with you all because when we get to

8:03fully understanding who Christ Jesus is,

8:06you're going to have to understand

8:07Exodus to begin with and you're

8:09definitely going to have to understand

8:10the first Passover. Okay. Is there

8:13anyone who's never heard of the first

8:14Passover? Is there anyone who's never

8:17heard of the first Passover? Anyone

8:20here?

8:22Okay, that's fine. And and we're not

8:23judging you. We are not We are not

8:25judging you. We're here to teach. Okay,

8:27this is fellowship. We are all here to

8:30learn, right? We are all here to learn.

8:33Okay?

8:35And that's okay. Uh, so yes, we're going

8:37to be in NLT, um, King James Version and

8:42the Message Bible, primarily through

8:43NLT. That's the Bible that me and

8:45Beverly are in a lot. Just kind of give

8:47you all a heads up if y'all don't

8:49haven't learned that yet. That's the one

8:50we're usually in a lot is NLT. It's it's

8:53a really good, easy read. Um, to me

8:56personally, it's closest to New King

8:58James Version, which is closest to the

9:00King James version. Uh, but I know a lot

9:02of times we don't want to be hearing

9:04certain words like shalt and and all

9:06that shall and thine. I know y'all don't

9:08want to hear that all the time, right?

9:09So, I don't want to sound like old

9:11Englishman. No disrespect, but I'm just

9:12saying. I know a lot of times it's

9:13really hard for people to understand,

9:14but I keep that thing on me so y'all

9:16understand. We keep the King James

9:18version for reference, okay? I just

9:20always want to say I have two of them in

9:21front of me right now. It's really good

9:23to have that study Bible because it

9:25breaks a lot of things down, especially

9:26if you have the truth and action Bibles.

9:28Okay? Uh, this one's going to be simple

9:31today. It's going to be called the first

9:33Passover. This gonna be real simple.

9:36[laughter] It's going to be real simple,

9:37right? Yeah. LIKE, BUT WHAT WE GONNA GET

9:39FROM IT? OH, trust me, you gonna get

9:40something. But it it's simple. The first

9:42Passover. Cuz I want y'all to

9:45>> Yeah, that's the title.

9:47>> It's going to be simple. Okay.

9:49So, we'll um we'll go into

9:51[clears throat] it with prayer. We are

9:53in Exodus. So, y'all can have it before

9:55we go in prayer. We are in Exodus 12:es

9:591-13.

10:02Exodus 12:es

10:051-13. Say amen when y'all have that

10:08scripture. Exodus 12:es

10:111-13.

10:13Amen. Amen. Glory be to God.

10:16>> Can everyone hear us? Okay. Um on

10:18YouTube, can you guys hear us? Okay. In

10:21the Zoom, can you hear us? Okay. I just

10:24want to make sure you guys can all hear

10:25us, okay? Because someone said they were

10:27having sound issues, so I want to make

10:28sure it's not on our end. Everyone can

10:30hear us. Okay. So, you may have to just

10:32go out and come back in, love, who um

10:34you said you're having sound issues.

10:36Sorry, Kitty. Just want to make sure

10:37they can hear us.

10:38>> No, you're good. You're good. You're

10:39good. Give me a sec.

10:43Give me a second cuz my son just came

10:45and start beating on the door. It's

10:48Jesus [laughter] Christ. nephew.

10:50>> It's definitely Christian. Okay,

10:53>> he's trying.

10:55>> Never mind. It was definitely Christian.

10:57>> Okay,

10:58>> y'all. Sorry about that.

11:00>> Wait a second. Let me get

11:05>> Okay, it's Christian meeting his fear.

11:07Okay,

11:10[laughter]

11:11it was him meeting his fear. Okay,

11:12y'all. Sorry about that. We're just

11:14waiting to kind of get that settled.

11:16>> No, baby boy. Hey.

11:19>> All right, let's go ahead and get into

11:21it. Look,

11:22>> that's so funny.

11:23>> You already know what that was about.

11:24You know what he saw.

11:25>> I do.

11:29[laughter]

11:30>> All right. So, um Yeah. So, we'll go

11:32ahead and start prayer. Um y'all, we're

11:37trying to do better with this because we

11:38know our prayers be going a long time.

11:41>> Yeah.

11:42>> You know, when the spirit of the Lord is

11:43moving, sometimes it's kind of hard. But

11:45we're going to go ahead and go and lead

11:47into Is there any way I can I can turn

11:49this hand raising thing off?

11:51>> It's going to run me insane.

11:53>> Oh,

11:54>> I don't know if [clears throat] anyone

11:55knows how to turn it off on Zoom. Please

11:57let me know because I I need to make

11:58sure that I could

11:59>> I think you Sorry, I was trying to see

12:01if I Oh, yeah. I think there's a way in

12:03your settings actually. Hold on.

12:05>> Okay, I'll make sure that I do that

12:06because that I I'm just easily

12:08distracted and it's been a really long

12:09day, so it's really going to distract

12:10me.

12:11>> Okay, y'all. So, I'll figure it out. Go

12:13ahead. No.

12:15>> Okay. I'm gonna make sure that I'll do

12:17that because that's that's a major

12:18distraction for me. Okay, y'all. So,

12:21yeah, we're going to prayer. Um, it was

12:24something I was going to ask you all,

12:26but I I'll make sure that I I ask you

12:28all a little bit later cuz I I I know

12:30it'll come back to me, but it was

12:31something I was going to ask. It was

12:32actually important. Um,

12:36oh, it'll come back to me in a minute.

12:37Let's go ahead and get started, though.

12:39Okay, we'll go ahead and get started.

12:41Are you trying to figure it out, Bill?

12:43Yes. Um, which I think I just

12:48But you want me to pray or are you

12:50praying?

12:51>> Uh, I I'll go into I'll lead in prayer.

12:53Okay.

12:54>> Yeah, I'll lead in prayer. I think

12:55that'll help kind of settle my brain a

12:57little bit if I go into prayer.

12:58>> Yeah, absolutely.

12:59>> Kind of all over the place.

13:01>> Okay, y'all. So, Father God, we come to

13:04you now

13:06in reverence and gratitude, Father God,

13:09remembering how you have led us out of

13:13trying moments and how you have been

13:14with us in the moments where we felt

13:16doubtful and where we felt anxious,

13:17Father God. And I am asking for clarity.

13:19I am asking for a calmness and a peace

13:22in my spirit, Father God, as I lead your

13:24servants and your disciples and your

13:26children in this study, Father God. And

13:28we thank you for bringing us together in

13:29this fellowship, Father God. That we may

13:31be able to glorify your name and

13:33understand you, Father God, as we

13:35understand that Bible study is for us to

13:37comprehend you, Father God, and grow

13:39closer and more intimate with you,

13:40Father God. And we thank you for the

13:42blood of Jesus that has never lost his

13:44power, Father God. We thank you for the

13:46lamb, for under your blood is our

13:47salvation, Father God. And we thank you

13:49for the greater lamb, Jesus Christ,

13:51whose blood covers us now and has

13:53covered us then, Father God. And we

13:55thank you, Father God, that his blood

13:56has covered us even when the enemy has

13:58tried to attack us even when the enemy

14:00has tempted us, Father God. That the

14:02blood has still managed to protect us,

14:04Father God. And we thank you for the

14:05everlasting blood, Father God. We thank

14:07you for always being faithful, God. We

14:09thank you for your goodness. We thank

14:10you for your wholeness, Father God. We

14:13thank you right now, Father God, that

14:14there is someone in this room right now.

14:16There is someone in this study right

14:17now, Father God, who does not have a

14:19peace, Father God. There is someone

14:21right now, Father God, who is in a spe a

14:22season of doubt, Father God. There is

14:24someone right now, Father God, who is

14:26facing the agenda of the enemy, Father

14:28God. And I'm praying that the

14:29intercessors come together and that they

14:30touch and agree, Father God, and claim

14:32victory over that person's life, Father

14:34God. For we know that under you we are

14:36victorious and that we are conquerors,

14:38Father God. There has been turmoil,

14:40Father God. We have seen judgment,

14:41Father God. We are seeing fear. We are

14:44seeing confusion in this day and time.

14:45And we thank you, Father God, for

14:47distinguishing your people as you did in

14:49Israel and Egypt. Father God, when you

14:51distinguish your people and set them

14:52apart in the time of go, Father God, and

14:55we thank you for your go of grace and

14:57protection, provision, Father God, of

14:59peace, covering, and promise, Father

15:01God. We thank you for covering us,

15:03Father God, as you have passed over the

15:05houses, Father God, in the time of

15:07judgment in Egypt, Father God, even with

15:09the Israelites, Father God, that you

15:10gave them instruction, Father God, and

15:12they were obedient. Not only that they

15:14have faith, God, but they were obedient,

15:16Father God. and let our faith and

15:18obedience reflect what we have witnessed

15:20in the Bible, God, knowing that you have

15:22given us the ultimate lamb, Father God,

15:24that you have paid for our sins, Father

15:27God. You have given the life for a life,

15:29knowing that if it was not for the grace

15:31of you, Father God, if it wasn't for the

15:33mercy, if it wasn't for the blood of the

15:35one true Passover lamb, Father God, that

15:38we would not be here in this moment,

15:39Father God. And we thank you for paying

15:41a high price, Father God. Knowing that

15:44the enemy has lost his legal right,

15:46Father God, to condemn us, knowing that

15:48we are justified by the blood, Father

15:50God, and that Jesus died that he may

15:52save us, Father God. And we thank you

15:54for that salvation, Father God. We thank

15:56you for loving us. We thank you for

15:58giving us a mediator, Father God, that

16:00we may be able to connect with you, for

16:02bringing down your power in humanity

16:05that we may be able to witness it.

16:07Father God, we thank you for your power,

16:09Father God. We thank you for stopping

16:10the destruction that the enemy has

16:12assigned toward us, Father God. We thank

16:14you for stopping the death that the

16:16enemy wants to place on us, Father God.

16:18We thank you for lifting the judgment on

16:21your chosen people, Father God. And we

16:23acknowledge that within this redemption,

16:25Father God, that it's not just it's not

16:27just a reflection of your intellect,

16:29Father God, but it's also a reflection

16:31of the true lamb, Father God. And there

16:34is no way that we can thank you, Father

16:36God, other than serving you, Father God.

16:37And so I pray that everyone who is in

16:39this study right now, Father God, serve

16:41you for the rest of their days. Father

16:42God, I pray that everyone in this study

16:45hold up your decrees, your regulations,

16:47your commandments, Father God, as you

16:49have commanded them to do so, Father

16:51God. I pray that everyone in this room

16:53right now has prayed and loved their

16:55neighbor as we have been commanded to do

16:57so, Father God. And we thank you right

16:59now for breaking us from this bondage,

17:01from breaking us from these

17:02relationships that were not for us, for

17:04breaking us from the bondage of

17:05addiction, Father God. for breaking us

17:07from any addiction of porn, whether it

17:09be of medicine, whether it be of drugs,

17:12whether it be of people, Father God. And

17:14we thank you for showing us that our

17:16dependence need to lie on you, Father

17:18God. And I am calling out anyone who is

17:20struggling with any sin, any shame, any

17:23fear, any idolatry, any confusion, any

17:25generational curses, any patterns, any

17:27spirits of the new age, Father God. I am

17:29calling them out that they may find you,

17:31Father God, in this moment, Father God,

17:33and they may surrender, Father God, to

17:35you, Father God, knowing that you will

17:36give them a clearance, Father God, that

17:38you will restore them and redeem them as

17:41you have done in the times of Exodus,

17:43Father God. And I am covering this time

17:45right now, Father God, that everyone may

17:47find a word in this right now, Father

17:49God, knowing that your blood, Father

17:51God, the blood that Jesus has shed,

17:53Father God, is stronger than any agenda,

17:56Father God. And I am calling out the

17:58enemy right now. I am calling against

18:00the enemy right now. I am calling

18:02against his agenda. I am calling against

18:04his minions. I am calling against the

18:06principalities. I am calling against the

18:08forces that we have not seen. The forces

18:10that we cannot see, Father God. And I am

18:12calling and I am decreeing and declaring

18:14under the sound of Christ, under Christ

18:17Jesus, under the blood of Christ, under

18:19the name of Jesus Christ right now, that

18:21the blood will purify and sanctify his

18:24people. and that the blood will purify

18:27anyone who is struggling right now,

18:29Father God. And that you will cast out

18:31any demon that has been assigned to your

18:34children right now, FATHER GOD. CAST IT

18:36out in the mighty name of Jesus right

18:38now, Father God. Cast it out in the

18:40blood of Jesus right now, Father God.

18:41Let the intercessors meet right now,

18:43Father God. And cover the children.

18:46COVER THOSE WHO ARE chosen by you. COVER

18:48THOSE WHO are adopted by you, Father

18:50God. And if anyone feels lost right now,

18:52that they may be able to find you, God.

18:54And I thank you right now for bringing

18:56us together, God. And I worship and I

18:58honor and I give you praise right now,

19:00Father. I cover us in this study right

19:02now. Cover us on this journey right now.

19:05Cover us in this time of confusion.

19:07Cover us in this sadness. Cover [snorts]

19:10us in this agony. Cover us in this pain,

19:13Father God. For we know that only you

19:15may be able to cover us, Father God. AND

19:17WE KNOW THE COST OF REDEMPTION, Father

19:19God. I ask that the blood protects the

19:21homes right now and the families and the

19:23children and our minds right now, God,

19:26and our hearts right now while we face

19:28what the systems are doing and the

19:30shutdown, Father God, that you would

19:31deliver us because you are a delivering,

19:34redemptive, restoring God, the God of

19:37love, the God of grace, the God of

19:39mercy, the God of power, the God of

19:41sovereignty, Father God. And we know

19:43that we are covered right now, Father

19:45God. And I declare this with gratitude

19:47that we are covered, Father God. That we

19:49are redeemed, that we are rescued, and

19:51that we belong to you. In a mighty and

19:53matchless name, we pray. Amen. Amen.

19:56Again, all right, let's get into the

19:58word of God. I think I got my mind clear

20:01now. I think I have some type of even

20:03though it's still

20:05>> If you go to click on at the bottom of

20:08Zoom, click on particip someone said,

20:11and click more. You should see I can't

20:14see it on my side. I don't see it on

20:15mine. I don't see participants anymore.

20:18Let me see. Hold on. Give me a second.

20:19Y'all give us one. No, I don't see it.

20:23>> No, I don't see it.

20:25>> Okay.

20:25>> I don't hear. I don't know.

20:27>> Okay.

20:27>> Yeah, it's cool. We'll figure it out.

20:29>> Figure it out. Yeah,

20:30>> we'll figure it out. Yeah, it's cool.

20:31It's cool. Probably should have took me

20:33serum before we started. Let's go,

20:34y'all. So, Bev, I'm gonna actually let

20:36you read uh NLP first.

20:39>> Okay. then um I'll follow behind you and

20:43just tell everyone what to highlight,

20:44what to underline and stuff like that.

20:48>> Yeah.

20:49>> All right. So, we are coming from Exodus

20:5412 starting at verse one and I'm going

20:58to retire at verse 13.

21:02The Passover. While the Israelites were

21:05still in the land of Egypt, the Lord

21:08gave the following instructions to Moses

21:11and Aaron. From now on, this month will

21:14be the first month of the year for you.

21:18Announce to the whole community of

21:20Israel that on the 10th day of this

21:23month, each family must choose a lamb or

21:26a young goat for a sacrifice, one animal

21:30for each household. If a family is too

21:33small to eat a whole animal, let them

21:37share with another family in the

21:40neighborhood. Divide the animal

21:42according to the size of each family and

21:45how much they can eat. The animal you

21:48select must be a one-year-old male,

21:51either a sheep or a goat with no defect.

21:54Take a spe take special care of this

21:57chosen animal until the evening of the

22:0014th day

22:04of the first of this first month.

22:08>> Then the whole assembly of the community

22:11of Israel must slaughter their lamb or

22:15young goat at twilight. They are to take

22:18some of the blood and smear it on the

22:21sides and the top of the door frames of

22:24the houses where they eat the animal.

22:27That same night, they must roast the

22:30meat over a fire and eat it along with

22:32bitter salad greens and bread made

22:36without yeast. Do not eat any of the

22:39meal raw or boiled in water. The whole

22:42animal, including the head, legs, and

22:45internal organs, must be roasted over a

22:48fire. Do not leave any of it until the

22:52next morning. Burn whatever is not eaten

22:55before morning.

22:57The these are your instructions for

22:59eating this meal. Be fully dressed, wear

23:03your sandals, and carry your walking

23:05stick in your hand. Eat the meal with

23:09urgency, for this is the Lord's

23:12Passover. On that night, I will pass

23:15through the land of Egypt and strike

23:17down every firstborn son and firstborn

23:22male in the land of Egypt. I will

23:24execute judgment

23:27against all the gods of Egypt, for I am

23:30the Lord. Verse 13. But the blood on

23:34your doorpost will serve as a sign,

23:37marking the houses where you are

23:39staying. When I see the blood, I will

23:42pass over you. This plague of death will

23:45not touch you when I strike the land of

23:48Egypt.

23:48>> Amen. Amen. Okay.

23:53Where uh let's see. Do I want to read

23:55this first? I'm going to read it briefly

23:58in the message bible just so I can make

24:00sure that we have a full breakdown and

24:02I'm going to tell y'all exactly what the

24:04highlight underline and I'm going to

24:06reference just a couple of verses in the

24:08King James version to help y'all better

24:10understand this. Okay. Okay. So, let me

24:12just read it in message. It's going to

24:13be quick. Y'all know how message the

24:15message Bible is. It's quick. Straight

24:17to the points. Little gangster. Okay.

24:18God said God said to Moses and Aaron

24:21while still in Egypt, "This month is to

24:24be the first month of the year for you.

24:26Address the whole community of Israel,

24:28tell them that on the 10th of this

24:29month, each man is to take a lamb for

24:31his family, one lamb to a house. If the

24:34family is too small for a lamb, then

24:36share it with a close neighbor depending

24:38on the number of persons involved. Be

24:40mindful of how much each person will

24:41eat. Your lamb must be a healthy male,

24:44one year old. You can select it from

24:46either the sheep or the goats. These are

24:49actually really used interchangeably

24:50more time in a lot of cultures. Keep it

24:52pinned until the 14th day of this month

24:54and then slaughter it. The entire

24:56community of Israel would do this at

24:58dusk. Then take some of the blood and

25:01smear it on the two doorposts and the

25:02lentil of the houses in which you will

25:05eat it. You are to eat the meat roasted

25:07in fire that night along with bread made

25:10without yeast and bitter herbs. Don't

25:12eat any of it raw or boiled in water.

25:15Make sure it's roasted. the whole

25:17animal, heads, legs, and inards. Don't

25:19leave any of it until morning. If there

25:21were leftovers, burn them in the fire.

25:23And here is how you are to eat it. Be

25:25fully dressed with your sanders on and

25:27your stick in your hand. Eat it in a

25:29hurry. It's the Passover to God. I will

25:32go through the land of Egypt on this

25:34night and strike down every firstborn in

25:36the land of Egypt, whether human or

25:37animal, and bring judgment on all the

25:39gods of Egypt. I am God. The blood will

25:42serve as a sign on the houses where you

25:44live. When I see the blood, I will pass

25:47over you. No disaster will touch you

25:50when I strike the land of Egypt. Okay,

25:52back in NLT. I hope that we understand

25:55the different translations. I don't know

25:58what translation y'all are in. I'm in

26:00NLT. Just kind of follow me and I'll try

26:02to guide you all on what I what I feel

26:04like is best for you all to highlight.

26:06Uh, first things first, verse three.

26:10Verse three. A lot of times people don't

26:12under many of us we don't understand

26:14God's logic. We just we don't. But one

26:17thing we do know and me and Beverly were

26:19talking about this is when God gives

26:21instructions,

26:24>> it is a purpose and a reason why he gave

26:27such detailed instructions.

26:30[gasps]

26:30>> It don't matter what the instruction is.

26:32I don't care if God tell you to put on a

26:33red dress. It is a reason why.

26:36>> Come on.

26:38It is a reason why God has given you

26:41that instruction. And we won't never

26:43understand God's logic.

26:45>> Right?

26:46>> That's that's why when people say the

26:48God of your own understanding, I'm never

26:49going to understand that because we

26:51don't understand God's logic. And a lot

26:53of times we're very illogical.

26:56>> So I that's for another day. Anywh who

26:58[clears throat] verse three, announce it

27:00to the whole community of Israel that on

27:01the 10th day of this month,

27:04>> each family must choose a lamb or a

27:06young goat for a sacrifice, one [snorts]

27:09animal for each household. Underline,

27:12highlight whatever you need to announce

27:14to the whole community of Israel that on

27:16the 10th day

27:18that on the 10th day of this month, Lord

27:22Jesus, each family must choose a lamb or

27:26a young goat for a sacrifice. Highlight

27:27that. We're going to talk about this

27:30this 10th day and this 14th day.

27:32Highlight that. Okay. Go down a little

27:36bit to verse five

27:39and highlight that verse. The animal you

27:42select must be a one-year-old male.

27:46Must be an innocent male.

27:50>> A oneyear-old male. either a sheep or a

27:54goat with no defects

27:58must be a healthy, innocent, without

28:02blemish

28:03one-year-old male. Either a sheep or a

28:07goat lamb. We just going to say lamb.

28:10Okay.

28:13Verse six. I want y'all to highlight

28:16verse six. Okay. The first thing you

28:18will highlight is verse three.

28:21The third verse I want you all to

28:22highlight is verse six. Take special

28:25care. This is in NLT. You alls may be

28:28different depending on your translation.

28:29Take special care of this chosen animal

28:33until the evening of the 14th day of

28:37this first month.

28:39Y'all highlight that.

28:42Y'all highlight that. Okay.

28:46Go down a little bit to verse seven.

28:51They are to take some of the blood.

28:55They are to take some of the blood and

28:58smear it on the sides in the top of the

29:00door frames

29:02of the houses where they eat the animal.

29:05Y'all got that highlighted? Amen.

29:08Mhm. Come down a little bit. It's really

29:1311b that I want you all to highlight.

29:14Verse 11b is the second part of verse

29:1711. So if y'all ever hear me say AB,

29:18that's in parts. So 11B, the second

29:21verse of 11, well, the second part of

29:2311, verse 11. Eat the meal with urgency,

29:26for this is the Lord's Passover.

29:30Eat the meal with urgency, for this is

29:32the Lord's Passover. Highlight verse 12

29:35and 13. Okay. On that night, I will pass

29:38through the land of Egypt and strike

29:39down every firstborn son and firstborn

29:42male animal in the land of Egypt. I will

29:45execute judgment against all the gods of

29:48Egypt, for I am the Lord. I He didn't

29:50say, I'm going to execute judgment

29:52against Pharaoh.

29:54>> He said, I'm going to execute judgment

29:57against all the gods of Egypt.

30:00>> Okay, it's okay if you can't highlight.

30:02That's fine, baby. Take care, baby. WE

30:04GOT YOU. YOU PUTTING IT IN YOUR HEART.

30:05That's good. Verse 13, highlight this.

30:08But the blood on your doorpost will

30:09serve as a sign marking the houses where

30:12you are staying. When I see the blood,

30:15just highlight and underline that. When

30:18I see the blood, highlight that and

30:21underline that. That's going to be

30:22extremely important once we get to the

30:23end of the study.

30:25>> When I see,

30:27okay, when I see the blood, I will pass

30:31over you. This plague of death will not

30:34touch you when I strike the land of

30:35Egypt. Let's talk about what this first

30:37Passover is to begin with. We know now

30:39that this is the 10th plague.

30:41These plagues have gotten increasingly

30:43worse. And this is the final. We're at

30:46the climax. Now,

30:48what we're going to see in chapter 12 is

30:51God detailed being detailed in his

30:53instructions for the first Passover.

30:55Very, very, very detailed. Okay. This is

30:58when we see God's judgment passes over

31:01Israel

31:03because of the blood of the lamb.

31:08We had different judgments. We had

31:10different plagues. This is going to be

31:12the final one. This is going to be the

31:14climax. This is Yes. Right. We know,

31:16right? Okay. We know. Exactly. It's

31:18foreshadowing for Jesus. This is the

31:20reason why I say we go from Exodus to

31:22Genesis. Y'all know this is the reason

31:24why we're going back and forth before we

31:26get to Luke because we have to

31:27understand the significance of Jesus.

31:29This is why I never tell anybody to just

31:30go and read the New Testament. You need

31:33to understand the precious lamb. You

31:35need to understand the Passover lamb.

31:37You need to understand who Jesus Christ

31:38is by understanding the first Passover.

31:41If you don't, you going to be confused

31:43when you go back and then you'll have to

31:45read this Bible all over again. Okay?

31:47So, this is a moment where God's

31:49judgment passes over Israel because of

31:52the blood of the lamb. Okay? The thing

31:55about this judgment was this judgment

31:58was for everybody.

32:00This judgment was for I want y'all to

32:02listen to me.

32:03>> Yes.

32:03>> This judgment was for everybody. This

32:05was for the Egyptians and the Israelites

32:07alike in this judgment. This was for

32:10everybody. I'm passing through a

32:12judgment and God gave instruction. He

32:14gave simple instruction. Okay, I'm going

32:18to get to that part in just a minute.

32:19Okay, so let's talk about why did this

32:21Passover take place to begin with?

32:23Because a lot of people don't understand

32:24that time. They don't they don't

32:25understand why the Passover took place

32:27to begin with. They don't understand why

32:28people still celebrate the Passover now.

32:31In each plague that we witness in

32:33Exodus, in each plague, y'all know from

32:35the frogs to the hail storm to the the

32:38everything, everything. In each plague,

32:41God revealed his power over Egypt's

32:44gods. And a lot of time, people think

32:46this is just God being mean towards

32:47Pharaoh. No. God was at war with the

32:49things that we could not see.

32:52>> God was at war with what Egypt was

32:55idolizing, with the gods that they were

32:57trying to put over God. He was at war

32:58with those gods.

33:00the same way we we deal with spirits and

33:02stuff and all that. Okay. Okay. So, he

33:05was he was revealing his power over

33:08Egypt's gods. And the Passover was him

33:11demonstrating his justice. Okay? It was

33:15him demonstrating his justice

33:18in order for them to reach this Exodus

33:20and be redeemed and rescued. Because

33:23redemption just pretty much means

33:24rescued. That's the easiest way for us

33:26to put it. In order for him for them to

33:28have been redeemed, there had to have

33:30been some type of sacrifice. And this

33:33Passover was God showing his justice and

33:36that he has the right to judge. That's

33:38in Exodus 12:12. Okay. Uhhuh.

33:44In order for them to have been

33:45delivered,

33:47there had to be obedience.

33:49>> Like I said, this this judgment was for

33:51everybody. And God gave instruction. And

33:54what was his instruction? The main

33:56instruction that we saw, I ain't worried

33:57about everything else, the clothes and

33:58stuff. We'll get to that. The main

34:01instruction was to take the blood

34:03>> Mhm.

34:04>> of an innocent one-year-old healthy lamb

34:08without blemish

34:11and to go over the sides of the door and

34:14the top lentil. That was the main

34:17instruction.

34:18So he would pass over. So the angel of

34:21death was not going to take their

34:22firstborn sons or the firstborn the

34:25firstborn males. It wasn't going to take

34:27them there. The angel of death wasn't

34:29going to get them. They were not going

34:30to die. The sons were as a result of

34:33that. But there had to be obedience. So

34:36if if anybody didn't put blood

34:39if anybody didn't put the blood of the

34:41lamb, if anybody was not covered by the

34:44blood of the lamb, if they didn't have

34:46the blood of the lamb on the doorpost

34:48and the lentils, not on just two

34:50doorposts where God told them to put it,

34:53they were going to see that death angel.

34:56>> They were going to see that death angel.

34:58So let's talk about let's get into what

35:00the Passover is characterized. This is

35:02the main thing that is characterized is

35:04selecting a lamb.

35:07>> I know y'all have heard people call

35:09Jesus Christ the lamb of God. I know

35:11y'all have heard people call Jesus the

35:13precious lamb. I know y'all have c heard

35:15people call Jesus the Passover lamb. And

35:17a lot of times people didn't even know

35:19why they called him that. I've seen

35:20people say, "Well, he's the lamb because

35:22lamb's blood is the antidote to to what

35:26do they say? The snakes." No, we need to

35:28go deeper than that. We need to know a

35:29little bit more than that. I don't care

35:30what Tik Tok is talking about.

35:32>> Okay.

35:34In order for a sacrifice to take place

35:37in this text, there had to be a life for

35:39a life. There had to be a life for a

35:43life. The innocent lamb was slain in

35:46place of the firstborn.

35:49It died in place of the firstborn.

35:54The lamb, the blood of the lamb was the

35:56only thing that stopped judgment. Let me

35:58let me just say that again because I

36:00know a lot of y'all like, "Oh, oh,

36:02Jesus." Uhhuh. I want to yell Jesus,

36:04too. The blood was the only thing that

36:07stopped judgment. Come on, somebody. And

36:09act like we know. Y'all know how God is.

36:12God is so strategic. Just my God. Right.

36:15>> Yes.

36:16>> His blood was the only thing that

36:18stopped judgment.

36:21And the lamb represented life traded for

36:24life.

36:27>> Let's go back. Let's scale back a little

36:28bit cuz I want to I want y'all to see

36:30the order of this Passover to

36:32understand. I want y'all to see how

36:33strategic God is. That's why I say it

36:35can never be another God.

36:36>> And we can never under God is so

36:38majestic. We just simply

36:42we just we just simply can't sometimes

36:43we just can't understand. But he makes

36:45it very plain. It says in verse two,

36:48"From now on, this month will be the

36:50first month of the year for you."

36:52>> This is verse two.

36:56God said that this deliverance from

36:59Egypt was so significant.

37:02It was such a significant act of God

37:06that he told the children of Israel to

37:08remake their calendar. We going to start

37:09over. Start over. He said, "We're going

37:13to reset. We going to start this all the

37:15way over."

37:18So, what we see is the new year will now

37:21start with the month of their redemption

37:23from Egypt. Let me say that again. The

37:26new year would now start with the month

37:29of their redemption from Egypt.

37:32It was a dramatic way for God to say

37:34that everything is about to change. I'm

37:37about to drop the pen cuz God going to

37:39show out.

37:40>> Come on.

37:40>> This was Look, if if it's if it's a

37:43drama, I love I love a God drama. I love

37:45a good God drama. God said, "Let me be a

37:48little dramatic." He said, "Everything

37:50is about to change."

37:52>> Yes.

37:53I'm about to redeem you.

37:56>> See, at first we saw that God promised.

37:58He made a promise. I will rescue you

38:00from bondage. Now, we see that I will in

38:03full effect. He said everything's about

38:05to change. It's a reset. Now, this is a

38:08reset. Okay, that we got that verse two,

38:11right? We got that. Announce to the

38:13whole community of Israel that on the

38:1510th day of this month, each family must

38:18choose a lamb

38:19>> or a young goat for a sacrifice. one

38:22animal for each household. On the 10th

38:24day of this first month, each family

38:27household will take a lamb.

38:30Now, what we see there, there's a

38:31difference right here. We see he said,

38:33"Now, on the 10th day, I want you to

38:35take a lamb."

38:37>> But then he goes down and says, "And on

38:40the 14th day of this first month of this

38:43first month, on the 14th day,

38:45>> y'all gonna come together and y'all

38:47going to slaughter this lamb at

38:48twilight."

38:50>> Slaughter. We got the 10th day to the

38:5314th day. I wanna I want to make sure

38:56that y'all are just just follow me for a

38:59second. Okay? Just follow me for a

39:02second. Okay?

39:04He said, "On the 10th day, I want you to

39:06take a lamb." Mhm.

39:09And it's going to be four days.

39:12This lamb had to be healthy to be

39:14sacrificed. Not only did this lamb have

39:16to be healthy, it had to be precious to

39:19that family. Cuz what what good is a

39:21sacrifice if you don't want it? If you

39:23don't care about it, what good is that

39:24sacrifice? Anybody can go up the

39:26mountain and sacrifice something to God

39:27and not care about it. That's easy. But

39:30I want y'all to bring this lamb in for 4

39:32days. And he said, "I want you to take

39:35special care of this chosen animal. I

39:38want you to take special care of it. I

39:41want this lamb to become a family member

39:43to you. I want you to care for this lamb

39:46up until the 14th day for four days. I

39:49want you to care for this lamb. Let this

39:51lamb become a part of your family. So by

39:54the time you sacrifice this lamb on the

39:5614th day, not only is it cherished, but

39:58you're going to mourn it. God said, "I

40:01want the sacrifice to be something

40:03precious." Now, do y'all understand

40:04where the precious lamb comes from?

40:07>> The precious lamb of God. Do y'all

40:08understand where that comes from? God

40:10said that from for 4 days I need you cuz

40:13this lamb can't be I don't just put this

40:15lamb in a corner and let this lamb be in

40:17distress and starving. I need a healthy

40:20lamb without blemish. Healthy,

40:25precious.

40:27I want this I want y'all to feed this

40:30this lamb and take good care of it. I

40:32want you to love this lamb while it's

40:34here on this earth with you. And when

40:36it's time to sacrifice it, you cherish

40:38this lamb and you will mourn it.

40:40>> Yes.

40:41>> I want the sacrifice to be something

40:43precious. Y'all y'all following me here?

40:47>> Y'all following me? Y'all working with

40:49me here? We working. We're working up.

40:52Okay. We gonna understand this Passover.

40:54All right. Good. Yeah. Come on.

40:56>> I saw that question. I'mma answer that

40:58question. That's good.

40:59>> Write it down. Write it down. Okay.

41:01>> I I'm remember it. So in verse seven,

41:04remember he said, "Take precious care of

41:06this animal."

41:09Okay. Now in verse seven, he says, "They

41:12are to take some of the blood and smear

41:14it on the sides, the doorpost and the

41:17top of the door frames, the lentil."

41:20Mhm.

41:23Sorry. Of lentil. Okay. Of the door

41:24frames of St. of the houses

41:26[clears throat] where they eat the

41:27animal. I that I highlighted way too

41:29much right here. Okay. So take some of

41:31the blood be highlighting up a storm. So

41:33take some of the blood and put it on the

41:35two doorpost and the lentil of the

41:37houses. You know what me and Beth

41:38thought was funny today. I don't we were

41:40looking at pictures today when we were

41:41studying and we were looking at that

41:43time the lentil and the doorpost and we

41:46were on a website that was explaining

41:48something that just it was amazing.

41:50Right. Y'all see it? They were talking

41:52about the corners. Have y'all seen a

41:54lentil? Um pretty much the door post.

41:58We're going to do it like this. the door

41:59post, the lentil crosses over the door

42:01post like that. Have y'all seen that?

42:03Like the the top the top part goes over

42:07two door post and they go across like

42:09this, right? Mhm. So when they would

42:13draw it, I I just thought this was

42:14insane. If you think of the doorpost, if

42:17somebody was to take the blood, they

42:20were going to go down and across. I

42:23thought that was amazing. They were

42:24going to go down

42:26the top of the lentil down and across.

42:28They were going to make a cross. And I

42:30thought that was so amazing when I saw

42:31that. I said, "My God on today."

42:33>> Yeah.

42:33>> But anyway, let's keep going. I just It

42:35just blew my mind. Right.

42:36>> Oh my god.

42:36>> So, they took some of the blood and they

42:38put it on the two doorpost in the lentil

42:40of the houses.

42:42>> Before the Passover lamb could be eaten,

42:45it blood had to be applied to the

42:48doorway of the home. Before the lamb

42:51could be eaten, the blood had to be

42:53applied

42:54to the doorway of the home to the top

42:57and upon each side.

43:00Okay?

43:02Going across. Okay? The only part of

43:05this sacrifice given to God was the

43:07blood. The rest was eaten. Let me say

43:10that again. The only sacrifice given to

43:13God was the blood. the rest was eaten by

43:16each family or it was discarded.

43:19He said, "What remains of it you shall

43:21burn with fire." Okay,

43:25we saw the same thing as we when we grow

43:27deeper into the word of God, we going to

43:29understand that the Passover and the

43:31sacrifice fulfilled in Jesus Christ, we

43:33going to understand that. Okay.

43:39Mhm. Okay.

43:43Okay. Let me start reading for a second.

43:44Let me start reading the chats cuz I I'm

43:46going get thrown off. Okay.

43:47>> Yeah. Yeah.

43:48>> So, yeah, let me let me stop reading

43:49that. Okay. So, let's talk. So, there

43:51had to be that sacrifice. Sorry, I told

43:53you I get easily distracted. That's why

43:55I don't want to see that. Okay. So,

43:57let's go. So, they had to smear it on

43:59the top of the door frames, the top of

44:01the lentil, and on the post. Mhm. That

44:05same night, they must roast the meat

44:08over a fire and eat it along with bitter

44:10salad greens. This is where I wanted to

44:12take this to King James version for a

44:14second. I did want to go back to King

44:15James version in this. I'm I'mma read a

44:18little further down, but I wanted to go

44:19here. So, the type of bitter salad

44:21greens because when we read this, we

44:23look and say, "Lord, why you talking

44:24about some greens?

44:27Why you talking Okay, you talking about

44:30they got to roast the lamb. Why we need

44:31to know they got to roast the lamb? Why

44:32why we got to know that? Why we got to

44:34know they got to eat bitter greens and

44:35and everything else?" Because everything

44:37that God puts is usually symbolic.

44:40In this time, those bitter greens that

44:42they were talking about were more than

44:43likely horseradish and dandelions. I'm

44:46not kidding when I say that. It was it

44:48was bitter. And that was symbolic of the

44:50bondage, the bitterness from the bondage

44:52of which the Israelites were suffering.

44:55Everything is symbolic in this by the

44:56way. So in the text when it comes to

44:59King James version, it says, "And ye

45:01shall eat it in haste." And ye shall eat

45:04it in haste. Everything that the that

45:09God says is symbolic. Hey, Kamora.

45:12Everything. God said what y'all have

45:14right now. I don't want you to boil it

45:16cuz it's going to take too long. I want

45:18you to roast it.

45:20>> Yeah.

45:20>> I'm very specific. I need it to be

45:23roasted quickly. I need you to eat it.

45:25If you if you still got something left

45:26over, get rid of it. And I want you to

45:28eat these bitter greens as well, cuz

45:30this is going to be symbolic.

45:33This is symbolic.

45:35You are forever going to remember the

45:37bitterness of the bondage that you were

45:38in when I rescue you. You're going to

45:41remember what I rescued you from. This

45:43is symbolic to it. I love God for his

45:46symbolisms. God is amazing. So God told

45:48them specifically, we need to eat this

45:50in haste. That means that you need to

45:52eat this with urgency.

45:55God said in his instructions, I want you

45:57to put on your clothes. He said, I want

46:00you to put on your clothes. Be fully

46:02dressed. Wear your sandals and carry

46:04your walking stick in your hand. Eat the

46:07meal with urgency for this is the Lord's

46:09Passover. The Lord is telling you this

46:12is not time to play cuz whenever I pass

46:15over and you hear this whale and cry

46:16because all of these first died, the

46:18Pharaoh is going to come for you and

46:19tell you to get out.

46:21>> You got to go.

46:22>> You can't go to sleep and take a nap.

46:24Get ready.

46:26>> He said, "Don't put no yeast in the

46:27bread cuz the yeast has to lift. We

46:29don't have time for that. Do this with

46:31urgency. Have your clothes on and your

46:34staff in your hand.

46:36>> Yes.

46:39>> The Passover lamb had to be eaten in

46:41faith.

46:44This they had to trust that this

46:47deliverance that was promised to Israel

46:49was present. That it wasn't going to be

46:52five more days and five more years from

46:53now. That this was happening now. And

46:56that you're about to walk into

46:57deliverance immediately. God said, "Get

46:59dressed. Put your clothes on.

47:02your staff, go ahead and put some food

47:03in your stomach. You gonna need that

47:05walking stick cuz we got a little while

47:06to go. You gonna need this. You gonna

47:08need some food in your belly and we're

47:10about to get ready to go. Not tomorrow,

47:13not next week, not a week from now.

47:15Right now, what you see this sacrifice

47:18that I just made, you are witnessing it

47:20right now. In your obedience, you're

47:21about to see some action h happen. So, I

47:24need you to follow me. Okay? God said to

47:27put on your clothes. That was his

47:29instructions. And we know God does not

47:31play when it comes to instructions.

47:34Okay.

47:37So, Daniel, that's a good one. That's

47:40going to be more towards Jesus and his

47:43walk. It still can reflect him, but

47:45that's going to be reflected a lot more

47:46when we get to Jesus. A lot more. Then

47:49we really can go deep into that.

47:52But the bitterness of sin, the same

47:53thing the Egyptians did it. I get that.

47:55But for that breakdown, for time reason,

47:57I'mma break that fully down when we get

47:59to Jesus. I promise you I will.

48:01[laughter]

48:02Okay, but I'm not going to skip over it.

48:03But we going to get to that. Okay. On

48:05that night I will pass through the land

48:07of Egypt. That's this is verse 12. And

48:09strike down every firstborn son and

48:11firstborn male in the land of Egypt.

48:13Remember we said that the firstborns are

48:15extremely important. We talked about

48:16that last week. They were I think the

48:17last week or the week before that they

48:18were extremely important. Let's talk

48:21about verses 12 through 13 now. Mhm.

48:24Let's talk about verses 12 through 13.

48:27Okay. God said when I see the blood. Did

48:31y'all highlight that and underline it?

48:33Like I said, God said when I see the

48:37blood,

48:39he said when I see the blood

48:43that I instructed you to put on your

48:45doorpost and your lentil, when I see the

48:48blood, I will pass over you.

48:51For Israel, this is for everybody. The

48:54judgment was coming for everybody. And

48:56he gave Moses and Aaron instruction to

48:58tell the Israelites this, excuse me,

49:02excuse me, to tell the Israelites.

49:05Everybody was supposed to know. Look,

49:07I'm not playing right now. God said, I'm

49:10serious right now. Mhm. So, he told

49:13Moses and Aaron, I want y'all to give a

49:15message. This is what I'm telling them

49:17to do. In order for Israel to be spared

49:19the judgment on the firstborn, in order

49:21for them to be spared, they had to apply

49:23the blood just as God said they should.

49:26They had to apply the blood. They had to

49:30act on it. If they had faith and

49:33believed, they still had to push it

49:35through. They had to be obedient. I hear

49:39you say, "Okay, the blood has power, but

49:42are you acting on it when I tell you to

49:45act on it?" They had to apply the blood

49:48as God instructed them to do. The blood

49:51of the lamb was essential to what God

49:54required. In order for them to have been

49:56redeemed, the blood of the lamb had to

49:59be seen where God said it was supposed

50:01TO BE PLACED. HE didn't say take the

50:03blood of the lamb and put it in a bowl.

50:05He didn't say, "I didn't tell you to do

50:07that." I said to put that on your door

50:09so I'll know that you were obedient to

50:11me and you listened and I see it. I see

50:15it for myself. He didn't say when I

50:16smell the blood. He didn't say when I

50:18think you going to put the blood on her.

50:19He said when I see the blood.

50:23So

50:25the Israelites did it, right? But if a

50:27Israelite didn't believe in the power of

50:30the blood of the lamb,

50:33let's just say let's let me let me twist

50:36this. Let's just say that an Israelite

50:39let's just say they didn't believe in

50:41the power of the blood of the lamb.

50:44Let's say they didn't believe in the

50:45power of the blood of the lamb. They

50:46could have sacrificed a lamb. They could

50:48have ate it, too.

50:51>> But they were still going to be visited

50:52by judgment.

50:53>> Yep.

50:54>> If they didn't believe in the power of

50:55the blood of the lamb,

50:57they they could have said, "Well, I'mma

50:59sacrifice it, but I don't believe that

51:00the blood has power,

51:02>> but I'mma sacrifice a lamb, and I'mma

51:04eat it." They still would have been

51:06visited by

51:06>> judgment.

51:10Let's just say that an Egyptian house

51:12did believe in the power of the lamb and

51:15the power of the blood of the lamb.

51:16Let's just say that the Egyptian

51:18household did in fact believe in the

51:21power of the blood of the lamb

51:23and they made a proper Passover

51:25sacrifice. They would have been spared

51:28if they did believe. But they believed

51:30in the pagan gods. Let's just say that

51:31they did. God said when I see it.

51:36So God said, "I don't care about the

51:39mental agreement that you have. That's

51:42not enough." God doesn't care about the

51:45mental agreement that we have. He didn't

51:47care about the mental agreement that

51:49they had with God. He didn't care about

51:52that.

51:54That was not enough. They actually had

51:57to do what God said must be done with

52:00the blood.

52:02Let me let me just repeat that for a

52:04second. They actually had to do what God

52:08said must be done

52:10with the blood.

52:13He said, "I will strike all the

52:15firstborn in the land of Egypt."

52:20Do y'all remember in Oh, man. We were

52:23just talking about this. Was it chapter

52:24four?

52:25>> Um, God when God regarded Israel as his

52:28as his firstborn. Where was it? Chapter

52:31four. It was 4 like 20 something I

52:36believe.

52:36>> 22. 422.

52:38>> 422. Yes, I think that sounds right.

52:41>> Just so y'all can see it because I know

52:42some of y'all are new to the Bible

52:43study. I know a lot of y'all been with

52:44us in Exodus already. No, I can't. Yeah,

52:48that's what it was.

52:49>> God said in Exodus 4:22,

52:52he said to Pharaoh,

52:55"Israel is my son, even my firstborn."

53:00God said, "This is my firstborn son." So

53:03God said,

53:05"Israel is my firstborn."

53:08Israel is my favorite people.

53:12Is my favorite people. My favorite is my

53:15favorite people.

53:18So I'm going to strike the firstborns.

53:25Since Egypt refused to release God's

53:27firstborn,

53:28then God required the firstborn of Egypt

53:31as a penalty in judgment.

53:34He said, "Okay." Mhm.

53:37So, back to what we were saying to the

53:39point because I want to get back to what

53:40we were saying about sometimes what what

53:43we see is people mentally agree with

53:45God, but they don't act on it.

53:47>> That part cuz faith without works is

53:50dead.

53:52So what we see right here is is

53:54sometimes because God said when I see

53:56the blood, what have happened if he

53:58didn't see the blood?

53:59>> Yeah.

54:01>> What would have happened if they didn't

54:03believe the blood had power, but they

54:05just sacrificed the lamb, but they

54:07didn't believe the blood had p power.

54:09God doesn't care about the mental

54:11agreement. That that's not enough. He

54:13wants to see that you did what I told

54:15you to do.

54:16>> Come on.

54:18>> God, they had to do what God said must

54:20be done with the blood. So the point of

54:22this is faith requires obedience. That's

54:25the point. That that's the point. That's

54:27the point of that text right there.

54:29That's the point. It's one thing to

54:31agree with what God said. It's another

54:33thing to act on it. Had they had not

54:36acted on it.

54:40>> Okay. Okay.

54:42>> They wouldn't.

54:42>> The Israelites could have believed what

54:45they could have done. They could have

54:46believed that God was sending judgment.

54:48They could have believed that.

54:51They could have believed that a lamb

54:53would be enough. They could.

54:56They also could have believed that the

54:58blood had power. They they could believe

54:59that.

55:01They can believe that. But unless they

55:04actually applied the blood,

55:07unless they actually applied the blood

55:10to the doorpost, that belief wouldn't

55:12have protected them.

55:18Unless they actually applied the blood

55:20to the doorpost. I I think I think maybe

55:23I'm a little more deeper in my head than

55:25y'all, but it's okay. We going to get

55:26there. He said, "When I see the blood, I

55:29will pass over you." That is verse 13.

55:32Not when you believe in the blood, but

55:35when I see the blood.

55:37Were you obedient?

55:39That your faith manifest into obedience.

55:43I I know you I know you heard me. I want

55:46to make sure that you acted on it when I

55:47gave you the instruction. I don't care

55:49that you heard me. When I gave you the

55:51instruction, were you obedient to what I

55:54said to do?

55:56Come on now.

55:59The Israelites faith was proven by the

56:02action of applying the blood. The

56:05Israelites faith was proven by the

56:08action of applying the blood. What did

56:11barely just say? Faith without work is

56:14dead.

56:19He said when I see

56:21he said when I see the blood

56:25I will pass over you. This plague of

56:28death will not touch you when I strike

56:30the land of Egypt.

56:31>> That is good.

56:33>> I need to make sure that we understand

56:35in order for them to have been redeemed,

56:37a sacrifice had to have been made.

56:39Redemption always requires a sacrifice.

56:42It we see it from Genesis all the way to

56:44Revelation. Redemption requires a

56:47sacrifice. What does it mean to be

56:49redeemed? To redeem means to buy back.

56:52We saw that with Jesus Christ. To We see

56:54the same thing with the Israelites. To

56:56redeem means to buy back, to rescue or

57:00deliver from bondage. That's what redeem

57:02actually means.

57:04To exchange something of value to secure

57:08freedom or ownership. Mhm. So redemption

57:13comes at a cost. I hope y'all are

57:15hearing me. Redemption comes at a cost.

57:18What God has redeemed you from came at a

57:21cost. Do y'all remember when we were

57:23reading reading this in Isaiah? Mhm.

57:26>> Redemption comes at a cost

57:31and it that cost in this text in the in

57:34biblical in theology in the Bible was a

57:37life. It was blood that had to be shed.

57:41The lamb was the substitute. It was a

57:43substitutionary atonement.

57:46The Israelites were redeemed from death

57:49by the blood of a lamb. Come on, y'all.

57:52This is the first Passover. The

57:54Israelites were redeemed

57:57from debt by the blood of a lamb. If

58:02there was no blood on those doorpost and

58:06that lentil, that means there was no

58:07protection. If there was no protection,

58:10there was no redemption. My God. Let me

58:12say that again. If there was no blood.

58:16Now, I need y'all to understand the

58:17foreshadowing of Jesus Christ. If there

58:20was no blood, then there was no

58:22protection. If there was no protection,

58:25then there was no redemption. If there

58:28was no blood that was shed on Calvary by

58:30Christ Jesus, then there would have been

58:32no protection. If there was no

58:34protection, we would have never been

58:36redeemed. Hello, we would have been dead

58:39to our sins. Hello, Satan would have

58:42still had his legal rights to condemn

58:44us. Hello, we wouldn't just be accused,

58:47we would have been a dead, we would have

58:49been dead as well. We would have died

58:50because of that. If there was no blood,

58:53if the Israelites never placed the blood

58:56where God instructed them to, then the

58:59the angel of death would have came in

59:01and judgment would have been on them and

59:02they would have saw death. There

59:04wouldn't have been no redemption.

59:06>> Come on.

59:08>> So good. The blood, the blood, the

59:10blood,

59:11>> the life of the lamb. H

59:15[clears throat and snorts] Jesus. The

59:16life of the lamb was a price for their

59:19deliverance.

59:21Let me say that again. Come on, Jesus.

59:24The life of the lamb was the price of

59:27their deliverance.

59:37>> [snorts]

59:41>> Okay, let's keep going. That something

59:44just that that just that just got me

59:45right there for a minute.

59:49>> I want y'all to to understand the first

59:52Passover

59:54because when y'all understand how

1:00:00Jesus our redemption I'm I'm talking

1:00:03about us now, present time. Now I'm I'm

1:00:05talking about Jesus. I'm talking about

1:00:06this covenant here. Our redemption.

1:00:09I I want y'all to understand how much

1:00:11God loves us. Cuz I always tell people

1:00:14that Jesus is the incarnation of God.

1:00:18Jesus is the embodiment, the flesh. We

1:00:22get to see the visible image of an

1:00:23invisible God. The word says that our

1:00:26redemption cost the blood of God himself

1:00:28in the flesh.

1:00:31I want y'all to understand that. That's

1:00:33how that's how much God loves us. Our

1:00:35redemption cost the blood of God himself

1:00:39in the flesh. I I want to make sure

1:00:42Jesus was the final sacrifice. But we

1:00:45had to witness this first Passover to

1:00:47even understand the foreshadowing of

1:00:49Jesus to begin with. We had to

1:00:51understand why it took an innocent and

1:00:54pure lamb.

1:00:57Even in the in the word of God, even the

1:00:59animals that were sacrificed, if there

1:01:00was an animal that was unclean, it had

1:01:02to be redeemed by something pure. Even

1:01:05in the Old Testament, here in the Old

1:01:07Testament, if there was an animal that

1:01:08was unclean, it had to be redeemed by

1:01:11something pure. If it was not redeemed,

1:01:13then they were to be killed. Y'all

1:01:16understand that?

1:01:18>> Y'all get that? The lamb and innocent,

1:01:22they symbolize innocence and purity.

1:01:24That's what lambs symbolize.

1:01:27And only those who were under the blood

1:01:29of the lamb were protected. The

1:01:31Passover, this Passover text, we're

1:01:33going to read more into it when we get

1:01:34to the unleven bread and everything else

1:01:36and when it actually happened. The

1:01:37Passover represents deliverance and new

1:01:40beginnings.

1:01:42The Passover That's good. That's good.

1:01:47The Passover represents deliverance

1:01:50>> and new beginnings. God said, "We going

1:01:52we going to reset

1:01:54and I'm going to redeem you."

1:01:57>> And the lamb was a substitute.

1:02:00The lamb stood in for somebody else. The

1:02:03lamb was a life for a life. [snorts]

1:02:06Atonement means a covering or a ransom,

1:02:10right? The Passover lamb,

1:02:14Jesus was a substitute. This Passover

1:02:17lamb in Exodus was a substitute. It was

1:02:21a substitutionary atonement.

1:02:24God's judgment, like I said, was coming

1:02:26for everybody, the Egyptians and the

1:02:27Israelites.

1:02:29Unless there was a substitute in place,

1:02:32God's judgment was coming for everybody.

1:02:34Unless there was a substitute in place,

1:02:37the blood had to be applied.

1:02:41He said once again, "When I see the

1:02:42blood, I will pass over you. No

1:02:44destructive plague will touch you." The

1:02:46lamb's blood had a protective power. The

1:02:49lamb's blood now has a protective power.

1:02:52The lamb's blood in Exodus 12 had a

1:02:57protective power, but only if it was

1:03:00applied to the doorpost. It wasn't

1:03:02enough to believe in the lamb. Hello,

1:03:05saints. It wasn't enough to believe in

1:03:07the lamb. It's not enough to just

1:03:10believe in the lamb. You have to follow

1:03:13through in obedience and place your

1:03:16trust in the blood. Come on, somebody.

1:03:19It wasn't enough for them to believe in

1:03:21the lamb. They had to follow the

1:03:23instructions that God gave them. Be

1:03:25obedient and placed their trust in the

1:03:28blood.

1:03:30Faith plus obedience

1:03:33meant that they were now covered by the

1:03:35substitute, the lamb. I want to make

1:03:38sure that we understand that it's not

1:03:40enough to believe in the lamb.

1:03:43You got to follow through with God's

1:03:46instruction, the word of God.

1:03:49You follow through with God's

1:03:50instruction.

1:03:52And we're obedient. And we're obedient.

1:03:54Sorry. And we trust in the lamb.

1:03:58Not just believing, but trusting the

1:04:00power of the blood of the lamb.

1:04:05So when we get to understanding why

1:04:08Jesus was sacrificed to begin with,

1:04:11cuz sin whenever we're whenever we sin,

1:04:13that means that we incure that. We break

1:04:16the covenant.

1:04:18Mhm.

1:04:19And then we have the redeeming power of

1:04:21the blood that comes in

1:04:23and it now heals the relationship that

1:04:25we have with God and places us legally

1:04:28where we're supposed to stand as God's

1:04:29child. And now we have access to the

1:04:32promise and the inheritance, which was

1:04:33the same thing for the Israelites. The

1:04:36blood when they were redeemed, now they

1:04:37had access to the promise and the

1:04:39inheritance that God promised Abraham

1:04:42once they were redeemed. But they had to

1:04:44be covered by the what? Come on, y'all.

1:04:47They had to be covered by the what? In

1:04:49order to be redeemed, they had to be

1:04:50covered by the blood. Right

1:04:53now, y'all understand why why why

1:04:56God is called the redeemer. Why Jesus

1:04:58Christ is called the redeemer? Do we

1:05:00understand that?

1:05:03>> Jesus was the ultimate substitute.

1:05:06This right here was just the beginning.

1:05:11So, there is no redemption without blood

1:05:14applied.

1:05:16And we're just only at verse 13. I just

1:05:18wanted to make sure that you all

1:05:20understood that there is no redemption

1:05:22without blood. You're right. My redeemer

1:05:24lives. I love that song.

1:05:27So, even in today's time, and we're

1:05:29going to get to that as we get to know

1:05:30Jesus Christ. We can't just know about

1:05:32Jesus. We can't just know about the

1:05:34Passover lamb. We got to receive him and

1:05:37apply his sacrifice to our life by

1:05:40faith. They had to receive the lamb,

1:05:42too.

1:05:45Mhm.

1:05:47Every area,

1:05:49every area,

1:05:51I I got real country. Every area that we

1:05:54want redeemed in our life, I don't care

1:05:57what it is, it has to be surrendered and

1:05:59covered by the blood. We saw that in

1:06:02Exodus.

1:06:04Do y'all understand why God was so

1:06:06detailed in here? He was so detailed in

1:06:10the first Passover. Y'all can't tell me

1:06:12that no man just came up with this idea.

1:06:15This ain't nothing but God. You can't

1:06:17tell me that no man just came up with

1:06:18this there. This ain't nothing but God.

1:06:24Me and Beverly were talking earlier

1:06:25about we and I asked Be said, "Why do

1:06:27you think God was so specific in his

1:06:29instructions?" And I and I want to ask

1:06:30y'all that. Why do y'all think God was

1:06:33so specific in his instructions? He

1:06:36said, "I need y'all to eat this in

1:06:38haste. I need y'all to eat this with

1:06:40urgency.

1:06:42He said, "I need you to take this blood

1:06:44of an innocent

1:06:46male one-year-old lamb that's without

1:06:49blemish. I want you to have it for 4

1:06:50days. Keep it together. Nurture that

1:06:53lamb. Make it yours. Take special care

1:06:57of that lamb.

1:07:00So when you sacrifice it, you're going

1:07:02to cherish it. It's precious to you and

1:07:06you're going to mourn it."

1:07:08When Jesus died on the cross, they

1:07:10mourned.

1:07:13He was precious to them. Jesus came

1:07:15through walking this earth in that

1:07:17ministry, performing miracles, helping

1:07:19people understand God's grace,

1:07:22showing God's love,

1:07:25showing God's mercy.

1:07:27They loved him. Some people hated him,

1:07:29but others loved him, and he was

1:07:31precious to them.

1:07:35Exactly, Tia. And we still mourn to this

1:07:37day.

1:07:38>> Yes. Yes.

1:07:41>> God always demonstrates his authority.

1:07:44He always demonstrates his

1:07:47his sovereignty.

1:07:49And God constantly reveals to us that we

1:07:51are not like him. We don't think like

1:07:53him. We don't come close to thinking

1:07:54like him. We can never understand God's

1:07:57logic. We have no idea. We We just can't

1:08:00do it. Our human logic can never

1:08:03understand his eternal logic. We just

1:08:05can't.

1:08:06>> Yeah,

1:08:06>> we can't do it.

1:08:09God said, "I'mma tell you the exact time

1:08:12to select." Come on now. I love it. It's

1:08:14his exact instructions. He said, "I'm

1:08:16going to tell you the exact time to

1:08:18select a lamb."

1:08:20>> He said, "I'm going to tell you the

1:08:21exact age as well." I ain't going to

1:08:24tell you just go get a lamb. He said,

1:08:25"I'm going tell you the exact time."

1:08:27>> Yeah. the exact age, how long to keep it

1:08:30and nurture it, how to cook it, how to

1:08:33eat it. All of that was God saying, "I'm

1:08:36being deliberate and strategic."

1:08:39And we may not ever understand God's

1:08:41instruction, but we have to have faith.

1:08:43They didn't understand why God was

1:08:45telling them to put blood on the

1:08:47doorpost and a lentil. They don't they

1:08:48didn't understand that. They didn't know

1:08:50that. But we know we supposed to do it.

1:08:53And this is the instruction. So, I have

1:08:55to follow God's instructions. They were

1:08:56clear.

1:08:57>> Mhm.

1:08:58>> They didn't know what was going to

1:08:59happen. They were like, "Okay, God.

1:09:02Cool. Yeah. All right." And they

1:09:04followed him. So any situation that we

1:09:08have, it just shows God's control over

1:09:11everything. That it really shows his

1:09:13sovereignty and his authority over

1:09:14everything.

1:09:17God controls everything. His control

1:09:20over everything. The details of

1:09:21redemption. Even for us now.

1:09:25Now, when you look at the Passover with

1:09:26Jesus, you going to be like, "Oh,

1:09:29I get it." And then when we go back in

1:09:31in Genesis and we start seeing sacrifice

1:09:32and stuff, y'all going to be like, "Oh."

1:09:35>> So, by the time we start going through

1:09:37the Noaic and the Abrahamic covenant,

1:09:40y'all be like, "Oh,

1:09:43the Mosaic and the Levitical, y'all

1:09:45going to be like, it makes sense." Y'all

1:09:48going to understand why these covenants,

1:09:50how we led up to the new covenant. Y'all

1:09:52going to understand how we led up to

1:09:53Jesus Christ to begin with. You wouldn't

1:09:55understand it if you just went and

1:09:56started to read the New Testament

1:09:57straight out the bat.

1:10:01One thing that I can say God wants for

1:10:02us, and I Beverly actually brought this,

1:10:04she she was amazing when she brought

1:10:06this up today when we were talking about

1:10:07it. One thing I love about God is God

1:10:11looks for us to to apply the action.

1:10:14Like he wants to see our faith in

1:10:16action. He wants to see that. And and

1:10:20it's all throughout the word of God,

1:10:22like I said, from Genesis to Revelation,

1:10:24that they could not, the Israelites,

1:10:26they couldn't just believe the blood

1:10:28will work.

1:10:29They had to apply it just as he told

1:10:32them to. I know church never broke it

1:10:35down for me neither. It took a lot. It

1:10:36just takes us, right? Why we love Bible

1:10:39study, right? But they couldn't just

1:10:40believe the blood will work. They had to

1:10:43apply it exactly as he said. And that's

1:10:46that obedient faith that James was

1:10:48talking about

1:10:50in James. That's that's the obedient

1:10:52faith that was in chapter that was in

1:10:54James chapter 2 verse 17. It was

1:10:56actually some before that. Faith without

1:10:58works. I think it starts at chapter 14.

1:11:02I think it starts at chapter 14 or

1:11:03something like that

1:11:06where it says faith without works is

1:11:07dead. That's real.

1:11:11The obedience that we have to the

1:11:13specific instructions that God gives us

1:11:16is how our faith shows up.

1:11:19That's why I always say obedience is

1:11:20extremely important.

1:11:23Here it is. God was giving instructions

1:11:25and they didn't know. They didn't

1:11:26understand what was going on and he was

1:11:28preparing them for something greater.

1:11:31They didn't he they didn't understand

1:11:32what was happening and God was like,

1:11:34"Y'all may not be able to see it, but

1:11:35it's something greater. It's something

1:11:36ahead of you. I'm now now I'm sealing

1:11:40the covenant that I have with you.

1:11:43Me and Abraham already had this convers

1:11:45this conversation, but I'm fulfilling my

1:11:47promises like I said I was going to.

1:11:49When God said, "I will the I wills." He

1:11:53He already had this conversation with

1:11:54Abraham. Your people going to be good.

1:11:58Mhm.

1:12:00I I love that. I love that about God.

1:12:03And I also love the fact that everything

1:12:04in the word of God points us to Christ.

1:12:08I love God for that. Everything in the

1:12:10word of God, every detail in Exodus

1:12:13chapter 12 foreshadowed Jesus Christ.

1:12:17Everything in chapter 12 foreshadowed

1:12:20the true lamb of God.

1:12:24He said a lamb without blemish. Jesus

1:12:28was sinless. Do we understand that? He

1:12:30said a lamb without blemish foreshadow

1:12:33Jesus. He didn't have sin. He wasn't a

1:12:34sinful man. He was without sin. I mean,

1:12:37no ink wasted. Okay?

1:12:39>> No ink wasted.

1:12:40>> None.

1:12:41>> He said, "I want you to apply the blood

1:12:43here." We got the blood of Jesus Christ,

1:12:46y'all. Supplied over our life. He died

1:12:48on He died on the cross for us.

1:12:55Everything foreshadowed the coming of

1:12:56Jesus.

1:12:58Once again, y'all know I always say the

1:13:00book of Exodus reveals who God is.

1:13:03Remember, I told y'all that the last

1:13:04time. The reason why we go in Exodus is

1:13:06because it reveals God's nature. You

1:13:09need to know the core themes of the

1:13:11Bible. Redemption, deliverance, like we

1:13:13we have to understand the core themes.

1:13:15Protection, provision. We need to

1:13:17understand these core themes of the

1:13:19Bible. And you need to know God's

1:13:22nature.

1:13:24You got to know God's character, his

1:13:26nature. You have to know who God is.

1:13:30God don't He's not a random God.

1:13:32Everything is intentional. Everything

1:13:35is intentional. God is not random.

1:13:38That's just not who he is. Ain't nothing

1:13:40going to be random when it comes to God.

1:13:44He is holy. He is set apart. He is

1:13:48faithful. He is faithful to perform. And

1:13:51he is faithful to keeping his promises.

1:13:54Mhm. On his terms.

1:13:59Okay. That's that's that's

1:14:02it. It ain't no shortcuts in the

1:14:03process. It ain't It ain't no shortcuts

1:14:05in the process. Um,

1:14:08we must be obedient to God's

1:14:10instructions even when we don't

1:14:11understand.

1:14:13Um, we can't shortcut the process.

1:14:17And sometimes we try to do that. We try

1:14:19to shortcut the process because it

1:14:20doesn't make sense to us. And we say

1:14:22that this just don't make sense. This is

1:14:23illogical. We won't never understand

1:14:25God's logic.

1:14:27We won't never understand it. And we

1:14:29look and say, "This is too this too much

1:14:30time, God. It's taking too long and you

1:14:33never understand. You say, "This is too

1:14:34much. This is inconvenient for my

1:14:35timing." And you don't understand why

1:14:37God is doing things. And this is the

1:14:39reason why we must trust God.

1:14:44We must trust God.

1:14:48Our obedience, I'm glad someone asked

1:14:49and Bev, I'm sure you probably going to

1:14:51answer that about the obedience and the

1:14:52sacrifice. But I want you to think about

1:14:53what we were just talking about. I'm

1:14:55going to let Beth answer that question

1:14:56because somebody asked u I think why is

1:14:58obedience better than sacrifice? Is that

1:14:59what they said? I just want you to

1:15:01listen. Just just take in and and just

1:15:03recount what we just talked about. That

1:15:05obedience was that faith in action. The

1:15:07obedience was the faith in action. A

1:15:10sacrifice can be anything. They could

1:15:11have sacrificed the lamb and did not

1:15:13believe that the blood had power.

1:15:15>> That's it.

1:15:15>> Then what it was going to be?

1:15:16>> That's good.

1:15:17>> Judgment was going to hit them. They

1:15:19could have just done it. They could have

1:15:20just did it because God told them to do

1:15:22it. But then what? You didn't believe

1:15:24that the blood had power. However, your

1:15:27obedience now says that this is my faith

1:15:30fully manifested here. That I'm acting

1:15:32out on my faith and that I'm trusting

1:15:34God even when I cannot see it. I'm

1:15:38trusting God even when I can't see it.

1:15:40Even when I know what's going to happen,

1:15:42I I'm trusting him.

1:15:43>> Yes, that's it right there.

1:15:45>> And we have every reason to trust God

1:15:48because look what we see in Exodus. This

1:15:50is why I love the word of God in Exodus.

1:15:52We got to say see God who who pushed

1:15:55people into their calling. People who

1:15:57wouldn't have been qualified by us. We

1:15:59got to see the healer. We got to see the

1:16:01redeemer. We had we got to see the one

1:16:03who delivers. We got to see the gracious

1:16:05and the merciful God. We got to see his

1:16:08nature here.

1:16:11We have so much evidence in the word of

1:16:14God of who God is. Why would we not be

1:16:16obedient?

1:16:18>> We should have faith in him. He's shown

1:16:20himself to be faithful. He

1:16:22said,"Abraham, I told you something. I'm

1:16:24not a man that I shall lie you good." I

1:16:26said, "I'm going to make sure that I

1:16:27take them out of here and I'm going to

1:16:29put them into a land that's full of milk

1:16:31and honey. I made the promise to you. It

1:16:34may be some time, but I made that

1:16:36promise." And I kept my word. And I

1:16:39guarantee y'all with a lot of things

1:16:41that many of us have been through, God

1:16:43kept his word. I'mma plug this up. God

1:16:45kept his word. Be I'm let you go over

1:16:46and take over for a second.

1:16:49>> Oh, okay. Um well, Katie pretty much um

1:16:52answered it. Um why obedience is better

1:16:55than sacrifice. And so when you think of

1:16:57obedience, the reason why God says

1:16:59obedience is better than sacrifice

1:17:00because we see that in 1 Samuel. We see

1:17:02that where Saul in 1 Samuel, he um

1:17:05that's where that that's where that

1:17:07saying comes from. It comes from 1

1:17:08Samuel. And Saul is told to do

1:17:11something. God says, "I want you to kill

1:17:12all of the Amalachites and not spare

1:17:15anyone." Right? God, uh, Saul decides,

1:17:18well, I'm going to take some of, you

1:17:20know, the the good animals. And, you

1:17:22know, he was like, well, I'm going to

1:17:23take them for a sacrifice. And God is

1:17:25like, that's not what I told you to do.

1:17:27Right? So, when God says that obedience

1:17:29is better than sacrifice, what he's

1:17:31really telling us is he wants our heart,

1:17:34not just our actions, right? Sacrifice

1:17:37is what we do for God. It's something

1:17:40that we do for God. It is an action. But

1:17:42just like Kitty said, obedience is us

1:17:45trusting God enough to do what he says.

1:17:49Even when it's hard, even when it

1:17:51doesn't make sense, even when we don't

1:17:53have full understanding, we have to give

1:17:56up a lot of things. And here's also the

1:17:59the thing to know. Being obedient, you

1:18:02are also still going to sacrifice

1:18:05because you are going to have to still

1:18:07give up things to do what God told you

1:18:09to do. So it's still a sacrifice in

1:18:11being obedient, but obedience shows your

1:18:14heart posture. Obedience says, "God, you

1:18:16know what? I trust what you are going to

1:18:19do." And so that is why now under new

1:18:21covenant, we are under obedience and no

1:18:24longer under the sacrifice of having to

1:18:26sacrifice animals and lambs and things,

1:18:29right? Because you can give up a lot of

1:18:32things. You could do a lot of things for

1:18:33God, right? You could sacrifice a lot of

1:18:35things. You can say, "Well, God, I gave

1:18:36up this. God, I sacrificed this. God, I

1:18:39sacrificed that. But guess what? You

1:18:40could still build be out of his

1:18:42alignment and out of his will,

1:18:44>> right? It doesn't matter if God didn't

1:18:46tell you to sacrifice that. If God

1:18:48didn't say, I didn't say give this up

1:18:50for you, you could still be out of

1:18:52alignment with him. But when you obey

1:18:54what he said, do you take the time to

1:18:56listen, God, what are your instructions?

1:18:59Then you're showing God, I love you. I

1:19:01love you, and I trust that your way is

1:19:04best. So whatever it is that you're

1:19:06telling me to do, I'm going to obey it.

1:19:08I'm not going to do what I want to do

1:19:10and just say, "Well, God, this is a

1:19:11sacrifice. I decided to stop doing

1:19:13this." No, I love you so much that your

1:19:15way is is best. Right? So sacrifice may

1:19:17look harder, but obedience takes you

1:19:20deeper. Right? Because obedience changes

1:19:22your heart. Obedience also changes your

1:19:25habits. It's going to change so much

1:19:27within you when you are obedient and you

1:19:30learn to really trust God and allow him

1:19:33to lead your steps. Order your steps.

1:19:36Order your path. You allow yourself to

1:19:39just let the string go and just say,

1:19:42"God, whatever it is, I'm taking that

1:19:44step and I'm going just do it. I don't

1:19:45understand. I may not feel comfortable,

1:19:48but you know what? I trust that your

1:19:51thoughts are higher than my thoughts.

1:19:52Your ways are higher than my ways. So

1:19:55whatever you're telling me to do,

1:19:57>> I'm going to do it. Right? God, that

1:20:00obedience is actually surrender, right?

1:20:03And we know that God values surrender.

1:20:05And so that is why obedience is better

1:20:08than sacrifice.

1:20:09>> Come on now.

1:20:10>> I hope that helps. [laughter]

1:20:12>> You better pop it off like you ain't

1:20:13never popped off before.

1:20:16[laughter]

1:20:17>> You better go on there now. So

1:20:18>> yes, yes,

1:20:19>> we're gonna bring it on home. Bill was

1:20:21about to take us there again. I love it.

1:20:24Oh, don't y'all love a good God moment?

1:20:26[laughter]

1:20:28We love a good God moment,

1:20:29>> man.

1:20:30>> Boy, and I thank y'all for being patient

1:20:31with me today because I It's just been a

1:20:34It's been a busy day and I'm I'm

1:20:36thankful that we're all here and I hope

1:20:38I was able to make sense cuz my brain

1:20:40was in like 10,000 places. I was trying

1:20:42to pull it together. Um, but I I hope

1:20:44this all made sense. I just want to make

1:20:46sure that we we understand this so when

1:20:48we go into verse 14 and we start talking

1:20:51about the unleven bread and stuff and

1:20:52all of that it's going to make sense. So

1:20:54that way once we even get to like the

1:20:56Pharisees and stuff and all that y I'm

1:20:57like oh okay. So I just want to make

1:21:00sure it's exciting when you learn about

1:21:01it. But I want to make sure that y'all

1:21:03understand [clears throat] the focus for

1:21:06this text today

1:21:09that this was about God's instruction

1:21:10for the Israelites. one that they had to

1:21:13slaughter a spotless lamb

1:21:16>> and apply his blood on the doorpost. And

1:21:17we understand that God's instruction is

1:21:19important. He didn't tell them to go

1:21:21pick a random lamb. He said, "I want

1:21:24y'all to pick a spotless one-year-old

1:21:27without blemish lamb." Okay. Male. Okay.

1:21:33So, the blood here, we remember the

1:21:35blood serves as a sign. When the blood

1:21:37was on the doorpost and the lentil, it

1:21:39was a sign for God to pass over. Okay,

1:21:42so we understand the Passover. It was a

1:21:44sign for God for the Lord to pass over

1:21:47during the final and the most

1:21:49devastating plague. The most devastating

1:21:51plague was the death of the firstborn.

1:21:54Okay? And when we get into Jesus, even

1:21:56when we get into the the Leviticus and

1:21:59and we're going to take some time to get

1:22:01to Leviticus because Leviticus is a lot

1:22:03is a lot to understand. Even we get to

1:22:05Leviticus, you'll understand what these

1:22:08things cost and why sacrifices were so

1:22:10important. But right here, as we see in

1:22:12Exodus 12, we understand that the blood

1:22:14of the lamb served as a substitution for

1:22:17life of the firstborn in that home.

1:22:21Okay? The blood symbolizes the life

1:22:25being given in exchange. And when we get

1:22:27to Jesus Christ, we're going to

1:22:29understand that. We're going to better

1:22:30understand that. that the only way that

1:22:32sin could have been dealt with, the only

1:22:35way that sin could have been dealt with

1:22:37was by an exchange of something. The

1:22:39cost of sin was death.

1:22:42Mhm. And the blood symbolized the life

1:22:44in exchange. So by the time we get to

1:22:46Jesus Christ, y like, "Oh, that makes

1:22:48sense. It required a life to cover the

1:22:50offense." So God didn't say, "I'm just

1:22:52going to forgive the sin without a

1:22:54cost." He said, "No, it's going to

1:22:55require a life. It's going to require

1:22:57blood to cover the offense." Okay.

1:23:01>> So, that's why we have Jesus. That's why

1:23:03we had that why we had to go through the

1:23:04death of Jesus Christ and him rising and

1:23:06everything else. Y'all going to

1:23:08understand the Passover lamb. Okay.

1:23:10Remember, the lamb was a substitute. So,

1:23:12when we go into next week's study, I

1:23:13want y'all to remember that the lamb was

1:23:15a substitute. It died so the firstborn

1:23:17didn't have to. The lamb was the

1:23:19substitute. It died so Israel didn't

1:23:22have to. Remember, God acknowledged

1:23:24Israel as his firstborn. as his

1:23:26firstborn in chapter four. So the lamb

1:23:30was a substitute so that the Israelites

1:23:34didn't die in that place. Okay? That's

1:23:37how God's justice was. It required a

1:23:39life for a life. So when people say,

1:23:41"Well, God is is cruel cuz why did he

1:23:43sacrifice Jesus Christ?" You don't

1:23:45understand the sacrifice was much

1:23:46greater than people could ever

1:23:47understand.

1:23:49>> That was the ultimate sacrifice.

1:23:52>> Yeah.

1:23:52>> Okay. The lamb's death. I I want to let

1:23:55me just end it here. The lamb's death

1:23:59purchased the Israelites freedom.

1:24:02>> Yes.

1:24:03>> Stick with that. That's how we going to

1:24:05end it. The lamb's death purchased the

1:24:09Israelites freedom. The death of Jesus

1:24:12Christ

1:24:14purchased our freedom. Y'all get that?

1:24:17>> The lamb's death purchased the

1:24:20Israelites freedom. The Passover lamb.

1:24:23The first Passover lamb. The first

1:24:26Passover lamb.

1:24:28>> The substitute lamb. This right here.

1:24:31>> Y'all got that? Did y'all write that

1:24:33down? So when we get to 14, y'all gonna

1:24:35understand that the lamb's dead

1:24:36purchased the Israelites freedom.

1:24:40Okay, y'all get that.

1:24:43>> Yeah, that was really good.

1:24:46>> So, let me just let me just add this one

1:24:47more this one more piece. I'm gonna let

1:24:48you go there. Okay. So, just so we and

1:24:51I'm sorry I said I was going to land it

1:24:52there, but I just want to make sure that

1:24:54y'all understand this because when we

1:24:56get to Genesis, it's going to be a lot

1:24:58of things. And then we get back to

1:24:59Exodus from Genesis, it's going to be a

1:25:01lot of things that that's y'all going to

1:25:03look and say, "Oh my Lord." And I want

1:25:05y'all to understand the reason why we do

1:25:08so many things under Christ Jesus and

1:25:10why we acknowledge Christ Jesus. cuz

1:25:12I've heard some silly things of people

1:25:13saying, you know, that you go to God and

1:25:16not Christ and this and that and and

1:25:18trying to minimize the role of Christ

1:25:20Jesus. Christ Jesus was our substitute

1:25:23on the cross. We're not saved by the

1:25:26good things that we do. We're not saved

1:25:28cuz we gave somebody $10. We ain't saved

1:25:31cuz we prayed for somebody. We are not

1:25:33saved by our works. We're not saved by

1:25:36the knowledge that we have. We are not

1:25:37saved by any of that, but by the

1:25:39application of his blood to our lives

1:25:41through faith. Jesus is way more

1:25:44important than someone just saying he's

1:25:46a son of God.

1:25:47>> Yeah.

1:25:48>> And I want everyone to understand that

1:25:50that he really died for our freedom.

1:25:53>> Amen.

1:25:53>> And we'll get into that once we get into

1:25:55Christ Jesus. Okay, Bill, you can go.

1:25:56Then we gonna close out.

1:25:57>> I'm Yeah, I'mma close out because I also

1:25:59got to go run and go get your nephew

1:26:01from football. I thought this was really

1:26:02good and I I think a lot of people have

1:26:04had this question and I'm going to

1:26:06briefly just um address it. Someone

1:26:08said, "How can you tell God has asked

1:26:10you to sacrifice something especially if

1:26:13you can't tell the voice of God?" And I

1:26:15know a lot of people do struggle knowing

1:26:17if it's the um voice of God and if

1:26:19you're supposed to, you know, give up

1:26:21and what you're supposed to sacrifice

1:26:23for God. So one of the ways that you can

1:26:25tell when God is asking you to sacrifice

1:26:27something is because normally or usually

1:26:29it will challenge your comfort, right?

1:26:32But even though it challenges your

1:26:33comfort, it is going to lead you toward

1:26:36peace and growth. Okay? And it is going

1:26:39to push you towards getting closer to

1:26:42God. God is never going to ask you to

1:26:44give up something just to hurt you.

1:26:46Okay? Everything that God asks you to

1:26:49give up, it is for you to release so you

1:26:51can keep growing closer to him. That

1:26:53means it is a barrier in between your

1:26:56relationship with God. And so one of the

1:26:58ways that you can know God, if it's God

1:27:01that's saying, I want you to release,

1:27:02whether it's this person, whether it's

1:27:04this job, whether whatever it is, is

1:27:06also understand that God comes with

1:27:09peace. He comes with clarity. And he

1:27:11does not come with pressure or fear. If

1:27:14you have any type of pressure, any type

1:27:16of fear, any type of impulsiveness, oh,

1:27:19I need to just do this. That's not God.

1:27:21God does not move in that way. And so if

1:27:23you sense that God is saying to release

1:27:25you is it's telling you to release

1:27:27something or give up something, sit with

1:27:30God and see how you feel and just

1:27:32analyze and ask God, is this for the

1:27:34growth of me? Am I going to get closer

1:27:36to God doing this or what is this for?

1:27:39Because the enemy will try to confuse

1:27:41you. But God is not a God of confusion

1:27:43that we know. So even if you can't hear

1:27:46God clearly yet, just continue to sit in

1:27:50his word because also God's word is

1:27:53confirmation. The Lord will take you to

1:27:56scripture. You will be able to find

1:27:58something in scripture that will confirm

1:28:00what he is asking you to sacrifice. And

1:28:03so I just want to really quickly say

1:28:05that because I've been in the position

1:28:06where I'm like, God, am I supposed to

1:28:08let this go? Like am I supposed to walk

1:28:10away from this? And I had to battle

1:28:12whether what that was a sacrifice. And

1:28:14even though it was a conviction, it will

1:28:15be a conviction in your heart and it

1:28:17feels uncomfortable. But again, there is

1:28:20going to be a subtle piece even in

1:28:22uncomfortableness, there will be a

1:28:24subtle piece where you where you know it

1:28:26doesn't this this this may not feel the

1:28:28best. This may not feel the easiest, but

1:28:30somehow I just know that God has given

1:28:32me the peace to do it. And the more you

1:28:34s spend time with God in his word, the

1:28:37easier and the more you will know what

1:28:39he is asking you to sacrifice. and

1:28:41you'll know how to hear his voice as

1:28:43well. So, I just want to answer that

1:28:45because a lot of people have asked that

1:28:46question.

1:28:47>> That was amazing.

1:28:50>> That was amazing. All right, y'all.

1:28:51We're going to be continuing out Exodus.

1:28:54Um, and over the next two weeks, we'll

1:28:57be finalizing

1:28:59Exodus 12. And like I said, we're going

1:29:02to stop right before 13. We're going to

1:29:05finish Exodus 12. Then, we're going all

1:29:07the way through Genesis. And y'all will

1:29:08understand why if y'all just rock with

1:29:10me. Trust me, I'm not going to lead

1:29:11y'all the wrong way. Just rock with me.

1:29:13I'm going to make sure that y'all

1:29:14understand it. Okay. Um, I thank all of

1:29:17you all for your prayers. I child, it's

1:29:20been I think every week I've probably

1:29:21been under some type of attack. We We're

1:29:24here,

1:29:25>> okay? And I'm talking I'm always under a

1:29:26public attack. I promise y'all the more

1:29:28and more I draw more people. Well, and I

1:29:31I want I don't want to take the credit.

1:29:32the more that I'm a vessel, the more I I

1:29:34listen to God and I'm obedient and we

1:29:37draw more people to the kingdom of God,

1:29:39the greater the attacks are going to

1:29:41come. And so that's why now I'm at the

1:29:43point where it's like it is what it is.

1:29:51people who just don't want us to bring

1:29:53people to the kingdom unless it's done

1:29:55that way. And that's okay. Hopefully you

1:30:05up. Hopefully, we all learned something.
