Reading: Exodus 12:1-14:31
Event: Passover and Exodus
Symbol: Lamb
By the blood of the lamb we are saved.
If you have ever been to the Creation Museum in Kentucky, you have seen the concluding movie for the tour, the movie of Mary talking about her son, Jesus. In it, she retells of her childhood and how terrible it was to watch her father slay the lamb for Passover. She knew of the purpose behind it and she prayed for the coming of the Messiah. But when she heard her son called “The Lamb of God”, then she understood what that sacrifice meant. Her son. His death. His resurrection.
It’s amazing the faith and trust that Mary had in God. She said “yes” even though she didn’t know how she could become pregnant. She said “yes” even though to be unmarried and pregnant would mar her reputation.
What can I do today that will be a “yes” to God?
What can I do today to honor “The Lamb of God”?
Note: The Creation Museum is amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed all the displays and was impressed by the depth of details in each. It is based on a ‘sola scriptura’ philosophy. While the Catholic church does not follow only scripture but traditions as well, the Creation Museum isn’t a perfect fit, but it’s still impressive and well worth the trip.
