A Holy Week Message - "The Spotless Lamb"

This week is a very special week for all of God's People whether Jew or Gentile. Last Sunday Jewish people started the Feast Days of Passover. For Christians this week is known as Holy Week when they thank God for the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Both important events revolve around "The Spotless Lamb."

In order to lead His Chosen People out of the bondage in Egypt, Jehovah God told each family to kill a "Spotless Lamb" and take the blood and put it on the doorpost of their home. God then said He would pass through Egypt and strike all the first born males but He would pass over homes with the lamb's blood on the doorposts. Thus God saved His People from destruction and led them out of Egypt. This is the Feast of Passover - notice it had to be a Spotless Lamb!

How does this apply to Holy Week for Christians? Hebrews 9:22 says, "Without shedding of blood there is no remission." This means there is no forgiveness of sins without the shedding of blood. Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb Of God." John the Baptist saw Jesus before Jesus was baptized and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" {John 1:29}

How do we know Jesus was the Spotless Lamb who shed His blood? Isaiah 53:5,7,12 says, "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities . . . He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent . . . He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."

Jehovah God chose the shedding of the blood of a Spotless Lamb for the redemption from bondage of the Israelites. He also chose the shedding of blood of the Spotless Lamb of God - Jesus Christ - to grant salvation and forgiveness of sins to all people. Do you know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior? If your answer is no, please pray this prayer with me to indeed receive Jesus as your Savior:

Jesus, I Am A Sinner

Please Forgive Me Of All Of My Sins

I Believe That You Are Lord, Died On A Cross 

And Was Resurrected

I Now Receive You As My Lord And Savior

Thank You, Jesus, Thank You For Saving My Soul!

How wonderful and appropriate for a precious child of God to receive Jesus as their Savior this week of Passover and Holy Week. Let us all thank God for the Spotless Lamb of God! Hallelujah!

I Wish You A Most Blessed Passover And Holy Week,

Frank
