The saving substitute
Exodus 12:13 NIV The saving substitute From the Passover Lamb... The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.
Hebrews 9:22 NIV In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. The saving substitute From the Passover Lamb...
The saving substitute From the Passover Lamb... Covering of deadly sin Quenching of divine wrath
The saving substitute From the Passover Lamb... to the person of Jesus (Luke 9:31) The New Testament crucifixion was the ultimate exodus, because it delivers not merely from bondage to human despotism, but from bondage to sin itself and thus provides for life, not merely in the promised earthly land, but an eternal promised land, the home of the Father. Douglas Stuart
The saving substitute From the Passover Lamb... to the person of Jesus (Luke 9:31) Hebrews 9:26b NIV But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.
