Exodus 12:1-28 | The Passover: God’s People Go Free

This week we are continuing our series “Know The Story” where we are taking a wide view look at the whole Bible to see that it tells one cohesive story, from Genesis to Revelation. In this week's passage, God’s people the Israelites, the sons and daughters of Abraham, have been made slaves in Egypt. But God has a plan to rescue them. In His final plague, He will pass through the land of Egypt and strike down all the firstborn. In order to protect the Israelites from this judgment, God tells them to slaughter a lamb and put its blood on the doorposts of their house, so that the destroyer might pass over them. This is their Independence Day. And every year they are to celebrate it every year by remembering what God has done.
