the lamb of God

The story of the destroyer that kills all firstborn 

while the Israelites were in Egypt tells us a great truth. 

The scripture says that every firstborn will be killed 

unless the blood of the lamb has not been put on the 

door of each house. 

THis would even mean death for the Israelites' firstborn 

children. It is only if they have the blood of the lamb 

at their doors that the destroyer won't kill them. 

So even their religion, their ethnicity won't pass them from 

the divine judgement. God is absolutely equal here. 

Those who have hear the message and would not have 

believed would have been condemned. 

It is the substitution of the lamb that prevents them from 

being killed. And this can only be because of their belief 

in the message brought to them by Moses. 

However, this lamb only covers them from being killed on this

earth. It is only through the substitutionary atonement 

of Jesus Christ that the debt of our sin is taken away 

and we are freed from sin in eternity
