MEDITATION: THE IMPORTANCE OF PASSOVER

Passover the Jewish festival which symbolizes the liberation of Hebrews from Egypt to Israel as promised by God. How does it fit in this modern world? Have we not read in the bible that Egypt symbolizes slavery? when St Paul writes about Egypt and Zion he refers the former as the place of slavery and latter as the place of liberty.  
When Adam Sinned he sold himself and his progeny to Sin and Death and Through him the curse entered the world and is still in us and the whole world is still feeling the effects of the sin 

Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned  Romans 5:12

 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope  that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. Romans 8: 20-23

In layman term we become Bad guys that is why St Paul says 

For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die   Romans 5:7

so What can we say about us? That we were some how the misunderstood bad guys but has good in his heart. No. The bible says that God created Man good  but humans discovered  evil ways. So what can we say, That while we are still bound to Death and sin that our Heavenly Father loved us so much He gave us his son Jesus Christ as the passover lamb to be slaughtered for our sins. 

For God so loved the world,that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

 It is not our love to him but it his love that saved us from sin. 

 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged  on a tree” Galatians  3:13

 Christ took our Curse so that we may become free from Death and sin and become the passover lamb.  

So Let us pray to our Lord Jesus Christ that we may be liberated from Sin. In the name of the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, Amen.
