The Passover of the angel of death in Egypt is a significant story that is still remembered and celebrated in the Jewish faith. It should be important to Christians, as well! As we look at the people of God escaping from the slavery enforced by Pharaoh, the Passover is a reminder of God’s grace and deliverance. For us on the other side of the New Testament, we see how this event served as a symbol and foreshadowing of something much greater: a deliverance from sin bondage, made possible by God’s perfect lamb, Jesus! 

God’s justice and might are seen in the plagues sent against Egypt, particularly in the striking down of the firstborn. However, in the Passover we see His mercy, as the people of Israel were spared. The lamb died as a substitute and its blood protected the people. Ultimately, this event points to a much greater one: Jesus Christ, the lamb of God, died as our substitute, to satisfy God’s wrath and remove our sins. His blood now covers us and protects us. Jesus died in our place and took our punishment, so that we have the hope of eternal life! The Passover and exodus are actually powerful representations of the Gospel message that we should share and honor.
