1169. The Passover Lamb

The Passover Lamb

There are some who imagine that there is no Gospel story in the. Old Testament. They think that redemption through the Blood, is a message revealed only to those who have lived since the death of Christ. This is far from right. The Cross of Christ was in the purpose of God from before the foundations of the world, the Cross and its saving power was made known to Adam and to his sons.

One of the strong Old Testament stories of redemption is the one we study to-day. It is typical in its very statement. This is attested by the fact that the Passover was plainly linked to Christ in the New Testament. Paul said, "Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us."

At the close we shall see, that the great difference between the peoples of the earth is a difference not of bloods, but of the Blood: not of culture but of Calvary; not of riches, but of redemption.
