Passover Perspective

Passover begins on the 15th day of the Jewish month of Nissan. As the Jewish day begins at sundown the night before, for the year 2005, the first night of Passover will be April 23rd.

Here's a Passover Perspective authored by Don Finto.

On this day 3500 years ago lambs were slaughtered throughout Goshen.
On this day 3500 years ago hyssop brushes stroked Jewish doorposts with lamb’s blood.
On this night 3500 years ago Israel met quietly sequestered behind their bloodstained doors--waiting to depart 400 years of slavery.
On this night 3500 years ago the Lord went through the land looking for blood on doorposts.
On this night 3500 years ago there was deliverance--a pass over.
On this night 3500 years ago the wealth of Egypt became the wealth of Israel.
On this night 3500 years ago firstborn sons were slain in houses where there was no blood.
On this night 3500 years ago wailing and mourning was heard in Egypt.
On this night 3500 years ago shouts of joy were heard in Israel.
On this night 3500 years ago Moses led Israel out of Egypt.
On this night 3500 years ago lambs’ blood on doorposts brought freedom.
On this night 3500 years ago the exodus from Egypt came suddenly.

For 3500 years faithful servants of God have remembered this night.

On this day 2000 years ago another lamb was slain.
On this day 2000 years ago human hearts were stroked with lamb’s blood
On this day 2000 years ago hearts were freed from centuries of slavery.
On this day 2000 years ago the Lord began to look for lamb’s blood on doorposts of hearts.
On this day 2000 years ago there was deliverance—a passing over.
On this day 2000 years ago wealth was restored to the sons of Adam.
On this day 2000 years ago another Moses led another Israel out of another Egypt.
On this day 2000 years ago lamb’s blood on the doorposts of hearts brought freedom.

Today lamb's blood is still found on human hearts.
Today deliverance is found behind a blood stained door.
If the doorpost of your heart is stained with lamb’s blood, have a glorious Passover season.
If not, grab quickly the hyssop and look for the lamb’s blood.
The exodus will come suddenly.

Have a blessed Passover!
