Weekly Theme: Lesson 5 — Passover

🩸 The Passover

Just before the great deliverance from Egypt, God didn’t give Moses logistical instructions about the escape — He gave commands about worship. Before anything else, they were to prepare for the Passover, a sacred act that placed redemption at the center of their identity.

Every household was to prepare a lamb. No part of it was to be wasted. If a family was too small, they were to share. Blood from the lamb was to be placed on the doorposts — a visible sign of faith and obedience.

📖 Exodus 12:13–14 (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 this day shall be to you for a memorial... by an ordinance forever.”

The Hebrew word for Passover is Pesach, which literally means “to pass over.” That’s exactly what God did — He passed over the homes marked by blood. The angel of death saw the sign and spared those within.

This wasn’t just a historical ritual. God intended it to be a living testimony — something repeated each year to remind every generation: You are here because God saved you.

📖 Exodus 12:1–3 (KJBPNV)

“‭This month shall be to you the beginning of months... Speak to all the congregation of Israel... they shall take to them every man a lamb...”

God’s people are always a redeemed people. And we are called to remember — not only what God did for Israel, but what He continues to do for us now through the Lamb of God, our Messiah.

💭 Questions to Reflect On:

  • Do I regularly remember what God has done for me?
  • What does the blood of the Lamb mean in my life today?
  • How can I make my worship more personal and full of gratitude?

🙏 A Simple Prayer:

Yahweh, thank You for passing over me. Thank You for salvation through the blood of the Lamb. May I never forget the cost of freedom. Help me live each day as someone set free. 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, ...

🩸 Covered by the Blood: Why Passover Points to the Messiah (Exodus 12) | July 29 Sabbath School

🩸 Exodus Lesson 5: Covered by the Blood | Sabbath School Study (July 29, 2025) 🖼️ AI-generated image: Israelites marking their doorframes with lamb’s blood during Passover (Exodus 12) Date: Tuesday, July 29, 2025 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...
