Ep 14 - The Night of Death and Life

Frances Hogan gives a comprehensive overview of the significance of the Passover event, exploring its historical context and spiritual symbolism. Drawing parallels between the protection from death by the Passover Lamb to the Israelites and the spiritual safeguard provided by partaking in Holy Communion—wherein the body, soul, and divinity of Jesus are consumed—Hogan highlights the depth of Christ's sacrifice. The Israelites found life, security, and health in the death of the Passover Lamb on this Passover night, and we, on the other hand, find spiritual life, spiritual security, spiritual health, and freedom from spiritual death through the death and resurrection of Jesus, the Lamb of God.  As Moses consecrates the firstborn to God as per His instruction, the stage is set for the fulfillment of God's promise to deliver His people to the land He has ordained for them. In a powerful testament to the faithfulness of God and the obedience of His people, the Israelites depart from Egypt in organized procession, guided by the hand of the Almighty.
