A lintel
from Daily Picture · host Stephanie Hawkins
Today I saw the top left hand corner of a door frame so, basically, part of the horizontal top beam or lintel. In the Old Testament book of Exodus 12: 7 and 12, we read God's instruction to the Israelites who were slaves in Egypt at the time. The context is that, on God's instruction, guidance and power, Moses was bringing the Israelites out of Egypt but Egypt's Pharaoh kept on reneging on his promises to release them. Each time he went back on his word, God caused a horrific plague to befall the Egyptians. The final plague God threatened was the death of the first born of every human or animal family in Egypt. God instructed His people, the Israelites, to apply the blood of a lamb to their lintel and sides of their door frames. That way, death would not enter their homes. Can you see the connection with Jesus in the New Testament of whom John the Baptist said, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29) and who shed His blood for us on the cross so that we will have eternal life? Jesus said, "I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved" (John 10:9). There is so much more I explain in the audio related to each daily script and I encourage you to do your own research and meditation on the verses I refer to.
