Daily Scripture
“Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go at once and select the animals for your families and slaughter the Passover lamb. Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on both sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out of the door of your house until morning. When the Lord goes through the land to strike down the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.”
Exodus 12:21-23

The Passover is a powerful reminder of God’s protection. When the Israelites applied the blood of the lamb to their doorposts, it symbolized their trust in God’s saving power. In the same way, the blood of Jesus offers us protection from the consequences of sin and judgment. Just as God shielded the Israelites, He shields us, not because we are worthy, but because He is faithful to His promises.
How can you daily live in the reality of the protection God offers through the blood of Jesus?
