Exodus 12:7 "they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the house..."
The Lord instructed His people to apply the blood of the lamb to the upper and side posts of their homes. In this way, they would make a type of the cross, and they would be covered by the blood of the Passover lamb that had been slain for their deliverance. God was giving His people a picture of what redemption was...pointing them to a future time when Jesus would come and shed His blood at Calvary.
God spoke to the people that the blood would be for them a token upon the houses where they were, and that when He saw it...he would pass over...and the plague would not be upon or destroy them when God smoke the land of Egypt.
That night, death struck the firstborn of every household in Egypt where the blood was not applied....but for the Israelites, the blood had been applied...and death passed over them. It did not touch those residing within..instead, they went free.
When the blood of Jesus is applied to our lives as we make Him Lord and Savior, final judgment passes over us. We step into eternal glory. The blood of the lamb was the sacrifice that allowed the Israelites to walk out of the bondage of Egypt...and the blood of the Lamb...Jesus Christ...enables us to walk free of every bondage in our own lives. We have applied the blood to our lives. Therefore, we are free from every yoke of bondage! Thank you, precious Jesus!
