Moses, a foreshadow of Christ and prince of Egypt, became a shepherd and led God’s people out of slavery and into the Promised Land. Jesus, prince of heaven, became our Good Shepherd and leads us out of slavery to sin and into the promise of eternal life.
And in the story of Moses, we see the blood of the lamb marking the doorposts of the believers, saving them from death.
1 Corinthians 5:7 (NLT)
… Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us.
Good morning, Lord. Thank You for being the Baby in the manger, the wise Teacher and my Passover Lamb. Thank You for the blood You shed to redeem me from my sin, opening the door to eternal life. As we work our way through Advent, keep my eyes on the cross as well as the manger — Christmas and Easter, all part of Your big, beautiful love story.
