Hi GAMErs!<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s passage is Exodus 12:15-30.\u00a0\u00a0Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n

Exodus 12:15-30 (NIV)<\/em><\/strong>
\n15\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast. On the first day remove the yeast from your houses, for whoever eats anything with yeast in it from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel.
\n16\u00a0<\/sup> On the first day hold a sacred assembly, and\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0another one on the seventh day. Do no work at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat–that is all you may do.
\n17\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0“Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because it was on this very day that I brought your divisions out of Egypt. Celebrate this day as a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.
\n18\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0In the first month you are to eat bread made without yeast, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day.
\n19\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0For seven days no yeast is to be found in your houses. And whoever eats anything with yeast in it must be cut off from the community of Israel, whether he is an alien or native-born.
\n20\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0Eat nothing made with yeast. Wherever you live, you must eat unleavened bread.”
\n21\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0Then 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.
\n22\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0Take 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. Not one of you shall go out the door of his house until morning.
\n23\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0When the\u00a0LORD\u00a0goes 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.
\n24\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0“Obey these instructions as a lasting ordinance for you and your descendants.
\n25\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0When you enter the land that the\u00a0LORD\u00a0will give you as he promised, observe this ceremony.
\n26\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0And when your children ask you, ‘What does this ceremony mean to you?’
\n27\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0then tell them, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the\u00a0LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.'” Then the people bowed down and worshiped.
\n28\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0The Israelites did just what the\u00a0LORD\u00a0commanded Moses and Aaron.
\n29\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0At midnight the\u00a0LORD\u00a0struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well.
\n30\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0Pharaoh and all his officials and all the Egyptians got up during the night, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house without someone dead.<\/em><\/p>\n

On verses 15-30:\u00a0\u00a0At THRIVE Church online yesterday, I shared a message called \u201cToo Much To Pass Over:\u00a0\u00a0Understanding the Passover\u201d where we looked at this passage together.\u00a0\u00a0If you missed the message or just want to see my painting skills, click\u00a0HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wanna check how well you listened to the message this past Sunday as well as your understanding of this passage?\u00a0\u00a0Try to answer the following questions:<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Pastor JB shared two reasons why God require that the Israelites eat bread without yeast.\u00a0\u00a0What were those two reasons?<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What was yeast supposed to symbolize in this case?\u00a0\u00a0Does that mean that yeast is in fact bad and that we should avoid eating yeast all the time?<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0In what way is Jesus our unleavened bread?<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0In what way is Jesus our Passover lamb?<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Why did God tell the Israelites to observe the Passover not just on the week that they actually left Egypt but on every anniversary of that event as well?<\/p>\n

Take a moment to thank Jesus for being our unleavened bread and our Passover lamb.\u00a0\u00a0Also pray for people in your life who don\u2019t know the hope we have in Jesus, that God would use you to effectively, sensitively, wisely and lovingly lead them to Jesus.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
