IN A RUT - LET'S PASS OVER TO RESURRECTION! Passover - A Celebration of Liberation & Destiny Passover commemorates two of the greatest events in history. It celebrates the first Passover when God liberated the Jewish people from centuries of slavery in Egypt to their destiny in the Promised Land. It also recalls a greater Passover when God liberated the sons of Adam from slavery to sin and aimlessness to our true destiny as sons of God in the Kingdom of His love and care. Both emancipations were accomplished by the Blood of the Passover Lamb and by the obedience of people who embraced their God given destiny.
At the first Passover, God freed the Israeli people from political slavery enabling them to achieve their destiny in the Land of Promise. At Jesus' Passover, by His death and resurrection, God liberated all humanity (as many as will accept it) from slavery to the sin-filled nature it inherited from Adam to achieve its destiny in the Kingdom of God's love and care.
Come Out Of The Rut & Get Ready To Move Before the Passover, the Israelis had lived in slavery for centuries in Egypt oppressed and cut off from their destiny. They lived liked this for so long that slavery seemed normal to them. Similarly for generations, since Adam's sin, his descendants have lived so long as slaves to sin - oppressed and without hope - that it seems normal. However, this slavery came to an end when Yeshua rose from the dead - as the prophets had foretold. (Psalm 16.10)
Passover challenges each generation and each individual to break free from slavery to sin and the rut of religious and cultural bondage. It invites us to experience for ourselves the revolutionary reality of God's redemption, through Yeshua's death and RESURRECTION which liberate us from the penalty and power of sin to share in His victory & Resurrection.
The days of going to church without continuing to Pass-over into the fulness of life have come to an end. Today the Lord is summoning us to leave the bondage of generations of Jewish and Christian ritual and launch out, under the covering of the Blood of the Lamb, into the holy calling of Spirit-led obedience He has for each of us. "Rise up and let go from this place." (John 14.31)
