WHAT DOES EASTER MEAN? In Exodus 11 and 12, we read about the plague of the firstborn and the first Passover. What did the Israelites have to do in order for “no destructive plague” to touch them? They had to take the blood of a lamb and paint it on the top and sides of the doorframes of their houses. Then God would “pass over” them when He came through Egypt with the tenth plague. Do we have to paint our doorframes for each Passover? NO! Why not? Because Jesus died on the cross for us and shed His blood. “…Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed.” (1 Cor. 5:7) Jesus died for our sins. One of the most important verses to remember in the bible is John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him may have eternal life.” So what is Easter all about? Easter is about remembering that Jesus Christ is our Passover lamb and shed his blood for us so that we could have eternal life.
