Exodus 12:13 13Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you…
On the night of the first Passover, many of the children of
Israel were probably anxious. Imagine one Israelite asking
another nervously, “Did you hear that the angel of death is
passing through tonight?”
“Yes! We were told to put the blood of the lamb on the
doorposts of our home and everything would be all right. Is
that true?”
Like the Israelites, you might be wondering, “Can the blood
really protect me? How much blood do I have to put on my
doorposts? Will the angel of death get me if I am fearful?”
My friend, don’t add to God’s conditions. He said, “When I
see the blood, I will pass over you and the plague shall not
be on you to destroy you.” He did not say, “When I see the blood,
plus your understanding, efforts, obedience, faithfulness and
refusal to give in to fear, then I will pass over you.”
It is the blood of Jesus alone that delivers you. If you
think that it is because of your faith, then you will always
be wondering, “Do I have enough faith?” No my friend, it is
His blood alone that saves. And when God sees that you see
that it is the blood alone that saves, He calls that faith in
the blood, and every plague will pass over you!
God wants you to know that it is Jesus’ blood alone
that saves because every time you think that your deliverance
depends partly on God and partly on you, you will not have a
settled peace in your heart. But when you know that it is the
blood alone that saves, you will have an unshakable peace.
It was the blood that saved the children of Israel from the
destroyer on that Passover night and it is still the blood
that saves today. And all you need to do for the blood to
avail is to say, “Father, I thank You that the blood of Jesus
alone covers me and my family. No evil, plague or disaster
will befall me or my family because of the blood!”
