What did he do?

  • Received instructions from God to instruct each Israelite household…

  • …to kill & quickly eat a lamb, painting its blood on doorposts…

He did it ‘by faith’

  • Was his faith a thought or an action?

  • What was his faith based on?

What does the Passover point us forward to?

  • “Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed” (1 Corinthians 5:7)

  • Without defect, enough for all, blood that saves from death

  • Faith (thought + action) in Jesus leads to salvation!

Both! (And definitely not ‘just thought’)
