The Blood Still Works

Many people in church are familiar with God’s call of His servant Moses found in Exodus chapter 3, where He tells Moses to lead the children of Israel up and out of the land of Egypt after 400 years of slavery. At the time of that call, Moses had been keeping watch over the sheep of his father-in-law Jethro on the backside of a mountain, and God appeared to him as a flame of fire out of a burning bush. God tells him that He has seen the affliction of His people and has heard their cry. Despite the Israelites’ desire for liberation, Pharaoh refuses to comply, making their lives even harder. But God, who witnessed their suffering, refused to leave His people vulnerable. After nine plagues, God finally unleashes the tenth and final plague—the death of every firstborn in Egypt— and gives His people a divine plan for protection: apply the blood of a lamb to their doorposts. That night, while there was a cry in every Egyptian house, God's people were saved because of the blood. In this message, we’re going to learn how the blood of the Lamb of God offers us salvation too.
