Weekly Theme: Lesson 5 — Passover

🕊️ Pesach: Covered by the Blood

In the first Passover, the blood of the lamb wasn’t symbolic — it was survival. As death loomed, God gave specific instructions: mark your home with blood. The destroying angel would pass over those who obeyed in faith.

📖 Exodus 12:13 (KJBPNV)

“‭And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.”

God’s justice passed over them — not because they were better, but because of the blood. That’s the gospel. The lamb had to be perfect, foreshadowing the Messiah Himself.

📖 John 1:29 (KJBPNV)

“‭The next day John saw Yahshua coming to him, and said, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world.”

Paul would later make the connection crystal clear:

📖 1 Corinthians 5:7 (KJBPNV)

“‭Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For even the Messiah our passover is sacrificed for us:”

Leaven (yeast) symbolized sin — that small thing that spreads and corrupts. During Passover, the Israelites had to cleanse their homes of all leaven, pointing to the sinless life of the Messiah and the purity He calls us to.

The hyssop branch used to apply the blood? Even that pointed forward — a symbol of cleansing grace:

📖 Psalms 51:7 (KJBPNV)

“‭Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”

Every element in that night’s ritual — the blood, the bread, the hyssop — whispered the name of Jesus. The ultimate Lamb. The perfect sacrifice. Our eternal covering.

💭 Questions to Reflect On:

  • What does the blood of Jesus mean for me personally today?
  • Do I take sin lightly, or do I understand what it cost God to forgive it?
  • Am I living as one cleansed — free from leaven, marked by grace?

🙏 A Simple Prayer:

Yahweh, thank You for the blood that saves. Wash me with Your grace, and help me walk in purity and gratitude. I want to live marked by the Lamb. Amen.

Used from the official Sabbath School Bible Study Guide, 3rd Quarter 2025. A Transformed Mind: From Gang Life to God’s Work As told by Andrew McChesney, Adventist Mission Mitch was a tough gang member in Washington state. But a violent brawl left him with a traumatic brain injury so serious that doctors said, “You’ll never work again.” But someone believed otherwise. His younger brother, Stephan , invited him to the All Nations Center Seventh-day Adventist Church in Wapato, where he worshiped with their mother and sister. Mitch didn’t go willingly at first — but something happened. He kept going. Week after week. And then, he opened a Bible. 🧠 Hope in the Word Driven by the hope that Scripture could heal his damaged mind, Mitch grabbed hold of Romans 12:2 : “And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of ...

These were not random events, but targeted judgments—each one exposing the powerlessness of false gods and the ultimate authority of the Creator. 📖 Exodus 9:23 (KJBPNV) “‭And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and Yahweh sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and Yahweh rained hail upon the land of Egypt.” ☁️ The hailstorm challenged Nut , the Egyptian sky goddess, and Osiris , god of crops. The fire that mingled with the hail devastated Egypt’s food sources and declared Yahweh’s dominion over weather, life, ...
