The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Exodus 12:21-24, “Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to

them, ‘Go and take for yourselves lambs according to your families, and slay the

Passover lamb.

22 ‘You shall take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood which is in the basin,

and apply some of the blood that is in the basin to the lintel and the two

doorposts; and none of you shall go outside the door of his house until morning.

23 ‘For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He sees the

blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door

and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you.

24 ‘And you shall observe this event as an ordinance for you and your children

forever.’”

Instructions are important. If your doctor instructs you to take two of a certain

pill three times a day, it’s not the same as taking three pills twice a day. You may

not understand the difference, but there probably is one! So, follow the

instructions!

The elders of Israel may not have understood why Moses told them to slay the

lambs; still, it was essential to the ultimate plan that they do as instructed. The

key was the blood of the lambs. Moses himself possibly did not understand that

in the centuries to come, the Lamb of God – Jesus Christ — would surrender His

Life on the Cross, shedding His Blood for the remission of our sins!

As the Egyptians were slain, Israel was freed from Egyptian slavery. As Jesus

gave His blood in death on the Cross, you and I (and millions throughout the

centuries) were afforded the opportunity to be forgiven of their sins –all through

the Blood of Jesus Christ!

Although the promise was originally given to the Jewish nation, when the Jews

rejected the opportunity, it was extended to the Gentiles. Now both Jews and

Gentiles can be forgiven of their sins by confessing Jesus as their LORD and

Savior.

If you have not trusted Jesus’ death and resurrection, you need to do that now!

There will come a time when salvation will not be available, for Jesus is coming

and it will be too late then to be forgiven.

If you have confessed your sins to Christ Jesus, why not share Him with your

other friends – those who have yet to receive Him? Remember, “A friend loveth

at all times” (Prov. 17:17). God bless you!

Heartily in Christ,
