In this sermon, Pastor Cecil Mathew explores the biblical story of Passover, focusing on the symbolic significance of the lamb's blood and its connection to Jesus Christ's sacrifice. He emphasizes that the death of the lamb was not sufficient; the complete shedding of blood was essential. The blood served multiple purposes: uniting God's people, testifying to their faith, and providing protection from divine judgment.
The pastor explains that the blood on the doorpost represented more than a physical mark; it was a spiritual declaration of faith and obedience. By using the blood, families were not only protected from the destroyer but were also symbolically declaring their allegiance to the one true God. Pastor Mathew encourages listeners to understand the profound meaning of Christ's sacrifice, which offers mercy, freedom from guilt and shame, and eternal life.
Drawing parallels between the Passover narrative and Christian communion, Pastor Mathew highlights how Jesus Christ serves as the ultimate substitute, covering believers and standing in their place. He challenges the congregation to live as forgiven individuals, understanding that Christ's blood provides complete coverage and redemption. The sermon concludes with a message of hope, emphasizing that while remembering Christ's sacrifice is somber, it should ultimately bring joy and peace.
The blood of the sacrificial lamb in the Passover story symbolizes Jesus Christ's sacrificial death, providing protection, unity, and redemption for believers
True obedience requires more than good intentions - it demands full commitment, sacrifice, and action in various aspects of life like marriage, parenting, and spiritual growth
The blood of Jesus covers believers, protecting them from judgment and offering mercy, freeing them from guilt and shame
The Passover lamb's blood served as a sign of unity among God's people, transcending differences like nationality, language, and social status
Jesus Christ serves as a 'substitute' who died in place of humanity, offering eternal life and breaking the chains of spiritual bondage
Communion is not just a somber memorial, but an opportunity to celebrate hope, joy, and the promise of eternal life through Christ's sacrifice
Divine protection comes through faith and actively applying 'the blood of Jesus' spiritually over one's life, home, and family
God looks beyond human performance and sees the blood of Christ as the means of salvation and acceptance
Chapter 1: The Power of Blood in the Passover Story
Pastor Cecil Mathew explores the biblical narrative of the Passover, focusing on the significance of blood as a symbol of protection, unity, and sacrifice. He draws parallels between the Old Testament Passover ritual and the New Testament understanding of Jesus Christ's sacrifice, emphasizing the spiritual depth of blood's symbolism.
- Blood in biblical symbolism represents complete sacrifice, not just a partial offering.
- The power of faith transcends human-made divisions and unites believers through a shared spiritual experience.
Key Quotes
Chapter 2: Obedience, Intention, and Sacrifice
Pastor Cecil explores the difference between good intentions and true obedience, using the metaphor of life requiring 'blood, sweat, and tears'. He emphasizes that meaningful achievements in life, such as marriage, parenting, and spiritual growth, demand complete commitment and sacrifice.
- True commitment requires active effort, not just good intentions.
- Meaningful relationships and personal growth demand consistent sacrifice and dedication.
Key Quotes
Chapter 3: The Protective and Liberating Power of Blood
Pastor Cecil delves into the spiritual concept of blood as a protective force that shields believers from judgment and provides liberation from guilt and shame. He explains how Jesus Christ's sacrifice serves as a substitute, covering and defending believers while offering freedom from condemnation.
- Divine mercy offers liberation from judgment through faith and obedience.
- Overcoming guilt and shame is essential for experiencing true spiritual freedom.

Sorry,
Exodus,
chapter
12,
verses
11
through
14,
and
then
verses
21
through
23.
I
want
to
ask
you
to
take
your
Bibles.
I
see
a
lot
of
young
kids
with
Bibles.
Love
to
see
you
open
them
up.
Everyone
just
open
your
Bibles.
When
you
have
it,
say
Amen.
And
I'm
going
to
read
from
the
new
living
translation.
And
it
reads
like
this.
These
are
your
instructions.
This
is
the
Lord
talking
to
Moses
and
Aaron.
These
are
your
instructions
for
eating
this
meal.
Be
fully
dressed,
wear
your
sandals
and
carry
your
walking
stick
in
your
hand.
Eat
the
meal
with
urgency,
for
this
is
the
Lord's
Passover.
On
that
night
I
will
pass
through
the
land
of
Egypt
and
strike
down
every
firstborn
son
and
firstborn
male
animal
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
I
will
execute
judgment
against
all
the
gods
of
Egypt,
for
I
am
the
Lord.
But
the
blood
on
your
doorpost
will
serve
as
a
sign
marking
the
houses
where
you
are
staying.
And
when
I
see
the
blood,
the
Lord
is
saying
what
God
is
saying.
When
I
see
the
blood,
I
will
pass
over
you.
This
plague
of
death
will
not
touch
you
when
I,
the
Lord,
strike
the
land
of
Egypt.
Verse
14.
This
is
a
day
to
remember
each
year
from
generation
to
generation.
Praise
God.
You
must
celebrate
it
as
a
special
festival
to
the
Lord.
This
is
a
law
for
all
time.
We
go
down
to
verse
21.
Then
Moses
called
all
the
elders
of
Israel
together
and
said
to
them,
listen,
God,
pick
out
a
lamb
or
a
young
goat
for
each
of
your
families
and
slaughter
the
Passover
animal.
Drain
the
blood
into
a
basin,
then
take
a
bundle
of
hyssop
branches
and
dip
it
into
the
blood.
Brush
the
hyssop
across
the
top
and
sides
of
the
door
frames
of
your
houses.
And
no
one
may
go
out
through
the
door
until
morning.
For
the
Lord
will
pass
through
the
land
to
strike
down
the
Egyptians.
But
when
he
sees
the
blood
on
the
top
and
on
the
sides
of
the
door
frame,
the
Lord
will
pass
over
your
home.
He
will
not
permit
his
death
angel
to
enter
your
house
and
strike
you
down.
Amen.
Praise
God.
May
the
Lord
bless
the
reading
of
the
Word.
You
may
be
seated
in
the
house
of
the
Lord.
We're
going
to
look
at
this
Passover
meal
a
little
closely
today.
Last
week
we
started
a.
A
discussion
or
a
series
which,
recall,
we
don't
have
a
series
name.
But
this
last
week
we
looked
at
it
as
life
is
in
the
blood.
Anyone
remember
that?
I
think
it
was
a
powerful
moment
for
me
personally
and
for
many
lives.
I
heard
testimonies
and
we
were
able
to
pray
for
numerous
people
just
seeing
and
we
were
even
to
able
to
hear
people
walk
out
of
here
believing
now
and
being
reminded
of
the
power
of
the
blood
of
Jesus.
Amen.
We
talked
about
the
protection
that
it
provides,
the
authority
that
it
has,
the
deliverance
that
it
can
bring,
the
healing
that
it
can
do
in
our
lives,
and
also
the
peace
that
we
have.
Through
the
blood
of
Jesus.
Anyone
remember
that?
Divine
protection.
Can
we
just
go
show
that
in
case
anyone
is
missing
or
just
want
to
go
back
into
the
notes?
Divine
protection,
it
gives
us
authority,
it
brings
deliverance,
it
provides
healing
power
and
having
peace
with
God.
Regardless
of
what
we
go
through
here,
if
we
have
peace
with
God,
that.
Is
the
greatest
peace
we
can
have.
Amen.
And
I
mentioned
last
week
that
we'll
dig
deeper
into
some
of
the
concepts
that
I
shared
quickly.
And
today
I
want
to
continue
this
focus
on
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
with
this
message
titled.
And
I
know
many
of
you
take
notes,
so
I
want
to
encourage
you
to
take
notes
if
you
haven't
yet.
The
message
titled
the
Bloody
Meal.
The
Bloody
Meal.
In
case
that's
too
gruesome
for
you,
I
had
a
subtitle.
The
power
and
the
purpose
of
the
blood.
You
see,
this
meal
that
God
is
establishing
through
Moses
and
Aaron
here
for
the
first
time
required
not
just
nice
vegetables,
nice
organic
meat.
It
was
not
about
the
fancy
decor
on
the
table.
It
was
not
about
how
many
seats
you
had
the
table.
It
was
not
about
the
preparation
and
what
you
cooked
it
in.
But
the
first
thing
that
he
instructed
the
people
to
do
was
first
off,
find
a
blemishless
and
a
perfect
lamb
or
goat
to
be
sacrificed.
And
not
just
the
aspect
of
killing
it.
Because
killing
it
wouldn't
have
been.
Would
have
been
enough,
wouldn't
it?
Killing
it
would
be
more
than
enough.
Just
go
hunt,
kill
some
meat,
and
then
roast
it
on
some
fire
and
then
just
enjoy
what
you
would
enjoy.
But
he
gave
them
clear
instructions
that
after
you
find
this
blemishless
goat
or
lamb,
that
you
kill
it.
But
you
drain
every
ounce
of
blood
from
it
into
a
basin
and
you
have
to
use
that
blood,
parts
of
that
blood,
to
dip
some
hyssop
branches
into
it
and
smear
the
blood
with
the
hyssop
branches
across
the
top
of
your
doorpost
to
your
home,
down
the
two
sides
of
your
door
frame
of
that
home,
so
that
it
could
do
something
powerful
in
your
life
for
your
home
and
for
your
generations.
There
is
a
purpose
and
there
is
a
power
in
the
blood
that
was
shed
by
that
lamb.
That
lamb
did
not
die
in
vain.
It
was
not
just
to
provide
a
nice
scrumptious
meal
to
that
family,
because
he
told
them
how
to
have
that
meal
in
the
verses
leading
up
to
verse
11
and
even
between
verse
14
and
21.
Today,
we're
not
focusing
on
the
meal
per
se,
but
I
want
us
to
focus
on
the
sacrifice
of
the
lamb.
Because
what
you
see
in
the
Old
Testament,
Passover
is
clearly
connected
to
the
New
Testament
communion.
We
talked
about
the
protective
role
of
the
blood.
We
talked
about
also
the
relevance
of
the
power
that
it
gives
for
deliverance
and
battle
and
authorities
and
spiritual
warfare.
And
we're
going
to
look
closely
into
that
over
the
next
few
moments.
First
thought,
I
want
to
share
with
you.
The
death
of
the
lamb
was
not
enough
blood
was
required.
God
did
not
require
the
lamb
to.
Just
die,
but
it
required
that
lamb
to
give
up
all
of
its
blood.
He
gave
them
specific
instructions
and
details
in
the
method
in
how
to
do
it
and
how
it
should
be
done
and
prepared
and
administered.
And
Moses
and
Aaron
was
taught
that.
And
shown
that
and
they
obliged
to.
That
they
obeyed
the
instructions
of
the
Lord.
You
see,
I
don't
know
if
we
just
stop
thinking
about
the
sacrifice
and
the
depth
of
his
sacrifice
because
he
went
to
the
cross
and
he
simply
died,
or
do
we
also
remember
the.
Blood
that
he
gave
up
and
shed
on
the
cross
for
the
redemption
of
our
sins?
The
cross
is
needed.
The
cross
is
necessary.
And
without
the
cross,
there
is
no.
Christianity,
there
is
no
faith,
there
is
no
resurrection.
But
more,
not
just
more
than
with
the
cross,
there
has
to
be
remembrance
of
the
blood
that
was
shed.
It
was
not
a
pristine,
clean
cross
that
was
used.
You
see
some
depictions
here.
That
cross,
that
wooden
altar,
was
bloodied
and
stained
with
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ,
a
perfect,
blemishless
lamb,
the
Lamb
of
God.
The
question
I
want
to
ask
us
is
this.
Are
we
content
with
the
death
on.
The
cross
or
are
we
applying
the
blood
of
the
Lamb
in
our
life?
And
the
other
thing
about
this
truth.
That
we
see
in
verses
12,
sorry,
verse
3,
chapter
12,
and
verse
6
and
7,
and
then
verse
22,
we.
See
there
was
clear
instructions.
Are
we
obeying
God
in
every
detail
or
are
we
satisfied
with
our
good.
Intentions
to
obey
God?
I
intended
to
obey
God
Tuesday.
I
had
the
intention.
But
intentions
and
obedience
are
very
two
different
things.
Having
good
intention
to
do
it
and
actually
obeying
the
Lord
to
the
detail
are
two
different
things.
The
Lord
is
saying,
do
not
be
content
or
satisfied
with
settling
for
good
intentions.
He
is
requiring
us
full
obedience.
He
is
not
satisfied
with
our
good
intentions.
Folks,
do
not
soothe
yourself.
Do
not
comfort
yourself
saying,
I
had
good
intentions.
This
week
he
is
going
to
be
satisfied.
He
is
going
to
rejoice
because
of
his
children's
full
obedience,
not
just
in
the
90
minutes
inside
the
house,
but
even
in
the
247
of
every
day
of
our
life.
Full
obedience.
Have
you
ever
heard
the
phrase,
it
took
some
blood,
sweat
and
tears?
Has
anyone?
If
you've
ever
done
some
projects,
if
you've
ever
done
some
work,
if
you've
ever
done
something,
anything
that
was
meaningful
or
intentional,
you
know
you
give
your
blood,
your
sweat,
and
your
tears
to
that,
don't
you?
Have
you
ever
done
a
renovation
project
or
a
construction
project
or
a
house
project?
Have
you
ever
literally
given
some
blood
up?
You're
definitely
sweating
something.
You
give
your
sweat.
And
maybe
some
of
us
get
to
the
point
of
crying
because
I'm
done
with
this
project
and
I
see
some
head
shaking,
but
the
Lord
is
saying,
if
there's
anything
meaningful
to
come
out
of
it,
it's
going
to
require
some
blood,
some
sweat,
and
some
tears.
Your
marriage.
Don't
hand
it
over
to
the
the
naysayers.
Don't
hand
it
over
to
the
books.
Don't
hand
it
over
requires
some
blood,
some
sweat,
and
some
tears.
It
requires
some
hard
work.
It
requires
some
sacrifice.
It
requires
some
prayer
and
some
tears
to
be
shed.
Even
when
your
spouse
isn't
watching,
even
when
no
one
else
is
hearing,
you're
gonna
have
to
sacrifice
something
for
the
sake
of
your
marriage,
your
family,
your
future,
it's
gonna
require
some
blood,
some
sweat
and
tears.
Your
good
intentions
and
your
great
goals
and
great
vision
is
not
enough.
You
have
to
do
the
work.
Don't
just
show
up
on
your
wedding
and
day
and
say,
oh,
I
look
pretty.
Everything's
working.
I'm
seeing
a
lot
of
couples.
I'm
seeing
a
lot
of
couples.
There's
more
preparation
for
the
wedding
day
than
there
is
for
the
marriage.
I'm
telling
you,
married
folks,
unmarried
folks,
going
to
be
married
folks,
going
to
be
not
married
folks.
Work
on
your
marriage
more
than
you.
Worked
on
the
wedding
day.
You
don't
have
to
know
it
all,
but
get
ready
to
lose.
Get
ready
to
win.
Get
ready
to
compromise.
Get
ready
to
sacrifice.
Get
ready
to
not
have
everything
you
want.
Get
ready
to
not
get
everything
you
want.
Get
ready
to
give
up
on
some
of
your
dreams
and
some
of
your
goals.
Because
there
is
something
beautiful
in
the.
Unity
of
coming
to
a
common
goal,
coming
to
a
shared
vision
of
one
man,
one
woman,
coming
together
to
glorify.
God
through
their
life
and
their
family.
It's
going
to
require
some
blood,
some
sweat,
and
some
tears.
Raising
your
kids,
oh,
my
gosh.
It's
Going
to
require
a
lot
more
than
that,
too.
Some
money
too.
But
you're
going
to
have
to
give
up
some
blood,
sweat
and
tears
to
get
that
money
to
pay
for
your
kids.
But
it's
going
to
require
something
of
you.
Don't
just
hand
your
kids
over
to
the
world
and
saying,
hey,
you
got
this.
Take
care
of
them
for
nine
hours.
Don't
just
give
them
over
to
your
Sunday
school
teacher
and
saying,
hey,
they'll
teach
my
kids
memory
verse.
No,
you
do
it
at
home,
you
do
it
with
your
kids.
Let
the
church
come
alongside
of
you.
Let
the
schools
come
alongside
of
you.
Let
the
world
come
alongside
of
you.
But
you're
not
called
to
be
a
part
of
this
world.
You're
called
to
stand
out
in
this
world
and,
and
make
sure
that
you
are
a
living
agent,
a
living
bright
shining
star
for
the
kingdom
of
God
where
you
are
placed.
It's
going
to
require
something
of
you.
The
death
wasn't
enough,
but
the
blood
was
required.
We
go
on.
In
verse
13
and
verse
12
we
see,
on
that
night
I
will
pass
through
the
land
of
Egypt
and
strike
down
every
firstborn
son
and
firstborn
male
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
I
will
execute
judgment
against
all
the
gods
of
Egypt,
for
I
am
the
Lord.
But
the
blood
on
your
doorpost
will
serve
as
a
sign.
Someone
shout
sign.
Come
on,
shout
sign.
The
blood
unites
his
people
and
testifies.
The
blood
unites
and
testifies.
If
you
drive
around
the
July
4th
holiday,
you'll
probably
see
neighborhoods,
the
American.
Flag
out
there
on
the
front
yard
in
some
form
or
fashion,
right?
Maybe.
Or
there's
a
celebration
or
a
parade.
For
your
nationality
or
your
nation.
What
do
you
see?
You
see
flags,
you
see
signs.
I
want
to
believe
that
when
the.
Lord
was
going
through,
passing
through
Egypt
in
that
time,
there
was
no
flags.
There
were
no
signs,
but
there
was
blood
on
the
doorposts.
Imagine
a
street
full
of
homes
covered
with
blood
on
their
doorposts.
Imagine
a
neighborhood
full
of
homes
with.
Blood
on
their
doorposts
or
door
frames.
That
would
come
to
show
those
that.
Are
walking
by
there
is
something
that
brings
them
together.
There
is
something
that
unites
them.
Hey,
every
house
doesn't
look
the
same,
but
there's
the
same
blood
on
every
house.
Every
house
doesn't
have
the
same
colors,
but
there's
the
same
color
of
the
red
blood
that's
on
the
doorpost.
Every
yard
is
not
the
same.
Every
lot
size
is
not
the
same.
Every
property
size
is
not
the
same.
But
there's
something
unique
and
united
that
brings
them
together.
That
is
the
blood
on
the
doorpost.
Oh,
spirit
of
the
living
God,
the.
Lord
wants
to
remind
us,
we
don't
all
have
to
have
the
same
things,
but
we
can
have
the
same
blood.
We
don't
all
have
to
have
the
same
stories,
and
we
don't
all
have
to
have
the
same
futures,
but
we
can
have
the
same
blood.
The
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
that
was
sacrificed,
pleaded,
and
smeared
all
over
the
doorpost
of
our
home
and
our
heart
and
our
mind.
That's
what
unites
us.
Regardless
of
your
skin
color,
your
tone,
your
nationality,
or
your
language,
what
unites
everyone
here
is
the
precious
blood
of
Jesus
Christ,
Spirit
of
the
living
God.
Come
on
now.
If
you
were
a
born
citizen
here
or
an
immigrant
that
walked
into
this
nation,
I'm
telling
you,
if
you're
a
child
of
God,
more
than
the
red,
white
and
blue,
more
than
the
green,
yellow
and
orange
and
the
red
and
whatever
you
got
on
your
flags,
I'm
telling
you
right
now,
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
is
the
most
important
color
for
a
child
of
God.
Oh,
my.
I
was
asking
the
Lord,
where
am
I
going
to
find
hyssop?
You
don't
find
hyssop
in
Franklin
Square.
The
Lord
answered
my
prayer.
I
drove
into
the
parking
lot
here
in
the
back,
and
there
was
a
small
branch
from
the
tree
that
overhangs
the
lot
broken
down.
I
said,
that
looks
perfect,
like
hyssop.
Thanks
to
Danny,
who
brought
that
branch
and
cut
it
into
these
little
pieces.
Thanks,
Danny.
Where's
Danny?
There
you
go,
Danny.
Thank
you.
This
is
hyssop
for
today.
Okay?
There's
a
basin
here.
Don't
worry,
it's
just
clear
water.
They
were
told
to
dip
that
hyssop
into
that
basin
filled
with
the
blood
of
the
lamb,
and
it's
soaked
with
the
blood
of
the
lamb.
And
they
had
to
take
that
bunch.
I
don't
know
how
careful
they
were,
but
they
took
that
and
they
basically
smeared
it
over
the
door,
down
the.
Two
sides.
And
that
gave
the
declaration.
Listen,
I
may
be
a
single
person
inside
this
home,
or
I
may
have
three
generations
inside
this
home.
I
may
be
from
India
or
from.
Italy
or
from
Haiti
or
from
whatever.
Nation
that
you
come
from
or
we
come
from,
but
I
am
behind
the
door
covered
by
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ.
I
may
have
a
lot
of
money
or
I
have
no
money,
but
I
am
hidden
behind
the
door
and
covered
by
the
blood
of
the
lamb.
I
may
have
a
lot
of
plans
or
I
have
no
plans.
I
may
be
joyful
or
I
may
be
depressed.
I
may
be
crying
because
I
don't
have
the
people
in
my
life,
or
I'm
surrounded
by
too
many
People
in
my
life,
I'm
telling
you
right
now,
the
Lord
or
the
enemy
is
not
looking
for
what's
inside
behind
the
doors.
When
the
Lord
sees
the
same
blood
of
the
lamb
on
the
doorpost,
he
said,
I'm
going
to
pass
over
you.
Not
because
of
what
you
are,
not
because
of
what
you've
done,
but
because
of
the
lamb
that
was
shed,
the
lamb
that
was
dead
and
the
blood
that
was
shed.
And
I
know.
I
know.
I
know.
Spirit
of
the
living
God,
I
can
pass
over
this
house.
You
see,
that's
the
beauty
of
this
faith.
It's
not
by
my
works
or
my
performance
that
he
gives
me
protection
or
he
gives
me
provision.
It's
because
of
the
blood
of
the
Lamb
I
don't
have
to.
He
doesn't
even
see
what
I'm
doing
inside
the
house
when
he's
passing
over
through
the
outside.
You
may
be
kneeling
in
your
prayer
closet,
or
you
may
be
hiding
in
fear.
But
the
Lord
said,
if
you're
afraid
or
if
you're
full
of
faith,
I'm
going
to
watch
for
the
blood.
I'm
going
to
look
for
the
blood.
You
see,
it's
not
my
works,
but
the
work
of
Jesus
Christ
that
saved
me.
It's
not
my
performance
that
saved
me.
It's.
It's
not
my
merit
that
saves
me.
It's
not
my
spiritual
degrees,
my
pedigree,
or
my
educational
degrees
that
saves
me.
It
is
the
precious
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
that
was
shed
that
saves
me.
We
got
to
get
over
ourselves
sometimes.
We
got
to
get
over
ourselves
sometimes
with
just
the
blood.
It
was
just
the
blood.
I'm
not
telling
anyone
here
today
to
go
smear
any
blood.
But
could
you
pray
and
plead
the
blood
over
your
doorpost?
There
are
some
homes
maybe
that
have.
Never
done
this
before.
But
I
want
to
tell
if
you
live
in
a
home
and
you
are.
The
priest
of
your
home,
or
even.
If
you
are
the
leader
of
your
home,
or
if
you're
somebody
that's
responsible
for
your
home,
go
walk
into
that
home
before
you
walk
in,
would
you
just
spiritually
pray
and
plead
the
blood.
Of
Jesus
over
the
doorpost
of
your
home?
Would
you?
I
would.
I
want
to.
I
want
to
encourage
you.
But
today,
as
your
pastor,
I
want
to
dare
you.
I
want
to
dare
you
to
do
something.
Tell
me
or
tell
God.
Testify
to
the
Lord.
Look
what
he's
done
after
I
took
that
step
of
faith.
Maybe
it's
been
done
before,
but
do
it
every
day.
I
go
into
my
home
every
day
I
leave
from
my
home
every
day.
I
better
plead
the
blood
of
Jesus
every
day.
Amen.
We
send
our
kids
out
to
this
world
every
day.
You
better
plead
the
blood
of
Jesus
over
their
life
every
day.
When
you
walk
into
this
home
saying,
God,
I
want
some
peace
in
my
home.
I'm
pleading
the
blood
of
Jesus
over
this
home.
I
want
some
joy
to
rise
up
in
this
house.
I'm
going
to
plead
the
blood
of
Jesus
over
this
house.
I
want
to
see
some
worship
rise
up.
I'm
going
to
cast
down
every
argument,
cast
down
every
spiritual
force
that
is
at
work
bringing
division
in
my
home
and
my
family.
And
I'm
going
to
do
it
not
in
my
name,
not
in
my
ability,
but
in
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ.
Spirit
of
the
living,
I'm
coming.
Spirit
of
the
living
God.
It
was
a
sign
of
unity,
but
it
was
also
a
sign
because
God
said
in
that
scripture,
go
pay
attention
to
that
scripture.
The
false
gods
of
Egypt.
When
you
plead
the
blood
of
Jesus,
you're
telling
the
world
and
the
Lord.
I
am
not
just
united
with
my
brothers
and
sisters
in
Christ,
but
I.
Am
telling
the
world
I
serve
one
true
God.
When
you
have
the
blood
over
that
doorpost,
you're
telling
the
world
I
serve
one
true
the
living
God.
There
is
no
other
God
before
him.
There
is
no
other
God
that
competes
with
him.
There
is
no
other
rival.
There
is
no
one
else.
This
is
the
God
I
believe,
it
testifies.
But
also
God
sees
the
blood.
God
sees
the
blood,
and
I
touched
on
it
already.
He's
not
looking
for
what
you
are
and
who
you
are.
He's
looking
for
the
blood.
Are
you
covered
and
are
you
sealed
and
are
you
standing
behind
the
precious,
perfect
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
or
are.
You
seeping
through
in
any
way?
Amen.
Are
you
coming
through?
Is
your
flesh
coming
through?
Is
yourself
coming
through?
Is
our
weaknesses
coming
through?
Is
our
pride
coming
through?
Is
anything
coming
through
ourselves
when
we
should
be
hiding
behind
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ?
Because
the
Lord
is
saying
and
looking
for,
do
I
see
the
blood
or.
Do
I
see
him?
Do
I
see
the
blood
or
do
I
see
her?
Do
I
see
the
blood
or
do
I
see
that
person?
Do
I
see
the
blood?
God
is
looking
to
see
who's
the
blood.
Whose
blood?
The
precious
blood
of
the
Lamb.
Next,
I
wanted
to
share
with
you.
You
are
protected
and
released.
You
are
protected
and
released.
Can
we
just
look
at
verse
23
for
a
moment?
For
the
Lord
will
pass
through
the
land
to
strike
down
the
Egyptians.
But
when
he
sees
the
blood
on.
The
top
and
sides
of
the
doorframe,
the
Lord
will
pass
over
your
home.
He
will
not
permit
his
death
angel
to
enter
your
house
and
strike
you
Down.
Amen.
He
will
not
allow
the
death
angel
to
pass
over
your
home
and
strike
you
down.
The
blood
that
was
shed
shields
us.
From
God's
judgment
and
from
the
destroyer.
He
not
only
saw
unity
and
your
testimony,
but
he
also
saw
your
release.
In
that,
he
gives
you
protection.
I
want
to
hope
and
trust
that.
We
understand
that.
He
gives
us
protection,
but
also
gives
us
a
release.
We
deserve
judgment,
folks.
We
deserved
hell.
We
deserve
eternal
judgment
for
all
of
our
sin.
But
the
Lord
is
saying,
because
you
believed
and
you
act
in
obedience
to
the
and
put
the
blood
on
your
doorpost,
I
am
going
to
not
cast
judgment
on
you,
but
I'm
going
to
show
you
mercy.
We
have
been
released
from
judgment
because.
Of
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ.
Am
I
living
under
the
protection
of.
The
blood
or
outside
of
it?
I
want
us
to
ask
these
questions
to
ourselves.
Do
I
understand
that
Jesus
blood
is.
My
only
shield
from
judgment?
The
blood
gave
God
a
righteous
reason.
Someone
say
righteous
reason,
A
righteous
reason.
To
pass
over
you,
but
also
did
not
cast
judgment.
He
showed
us
mercy.
We
deserved
judgment.
But
he
held
it
back
because
of
the
blood
that
was
shed
and
blood
that
was
smeared
on
the
doorpost.
When
we
partake
of
this
communion,
remember
we
deserve
judgment.
But
he
shed
his
blood
so
that
we
could
be
set
free
with
his
mercy.
His
mercy
sets
us
free.
You
are
protected
and
you
are
released.
This
is
a
question
I
got
to.
Ask
myself,
and
maybe
we
all
do.
Do
we
take
the
mercy
of
God
for
granted?
Do
we
take
the
mercy
of
God
for
granted?
Do
we
keep
falling
into
the
same
sins
and
the
same
traps
and
the
same
tricks
and
the
same
schemes
that
we
keep
falling
into
because
the
enemy.
Keeps
working
on
us
that
way.
But
the
Lord
is
saying,
I
came
here
to
not
cast
judgment,
but
I
also
came
here
to
set
you
free.
So
that
you
could
walk
in
that
freedom
that
you
have.
So
that
you
don't
take
for
granted
the
mercy
that
God
is
extending
to
us.
He
is
a
loving
God.
He's
a
merciful
God.
He's
a
gracious
God.
But
there's
going
to
come
a
time
and
a
moment
where
he
has
to
be
a
just
God.
Amen.
A
just
God.
He's
going
to
extend
his
mercy
and
his
kindness
and
his
love
all
the.
Time,
as
long
as
he
can.
But
there's
going
to
come
a
moment
that
He's
a
just
God.
Let's
not
be
surprised
when
he
acts
injustice
because
we
took
for
granted
his
mercy
all
those
times.
And
I
want
to
close
with
this.
The
blood
covers
you.
The
blood
covers
you.
And
also
the
blood
covers
for
you.
The
blood
Covers
you
and
the
blood
covers.
Talk
to
me
for
you.
There
are
moments
when
I'm
dropping
my.
Daughter
to
school,
the
youngest
one,
and
there'll
be
some
adult,
new,
different
adult
that's
walking
into
the
school
or
towards
the
entrance,
and,
you
know,
they
got.
Their
teacher
or
somebody
in
staff,
and.
I'll
ask
her,
do
you
know
who
that
is?
And
she'll
say,
oh,
that's
a
substitute
teacher,
or
that's
somebody
that's
new
or
whatever.
And
when
the
substitute
teacher
walks
in
or
shows
up
to
school
that
day,
it's
probably
because
there
was
a
teacher
that
was
supposed
to
teach
that
did
not
show
up
for
whatever
reason.
And
a
substitute
had
to
be
called
in
to
cover
for
that
teacher.
Right.
You
see
that
substitute
teacher
is
looking
for
a
call.
Maybe
they
say,
yeah,
I
got
it.
I'll
cover
that
teacher
today.
Or
have
you
ever
traded
your
shifts
with
somebody
in
your
workplace?
Yeah,
I'll
cover
you
that
day
if
you
cover.
I
need
that
Saturday
off.
So
can
you
cover
me
for
Saturday.
If
I
cover
your
Tuesday?
Anyone
do
that?
I
see
a
lot
of
head
shaking.
That
substitute
teacher.
Or
when
you
cover
for
someone
or
someone
covers
for
you.
We
have
to
keep
that
principle
in
mind
here
because
there
was
supposed
to
be
in
this
story,
in
this
scene,
the
firstborn
son
of
every
household
was
to
be
killed.
Or
the
firstborn
cattle
or
livestock
was
to
be
killed
by
God
or
by
the
destroyer.
But
if
they
chose
to
obey
the
word
of
the
Lord
and
kill
their
perfect,
blemishless
lamb,
the
son
would
be
spared
and
you
would
continue
to
live
on
with
life
because
there
was
a
substitute
for
that
son.
There
was
somebody
that
traded
places
for
that
son,
that
gave
the
ultimate
sacrifice
of
their
life
and
their
blood
so
that
son
could
be
set
free.
You
see,
we're
the
sons.
We
all
deserve
to
die.
But
there
was
a
perfect
substitute
that
came
and
said,
listen,
I'm
going
to
cover
you,
but
also
I'm
going
to
cover
for
you.
When
Jesus
walked
to
the
cross
and
died
on
the
cross
and
gave
up
every
ounce
of
his
blood,
he's
saying,
I'm
not
only
covering
you
with.
With
the
precious
blood,
but
my
blood
is
standing
in
your
place
so
that
I
could
be
the
perfect
sacrifice
so
that
you
can
live
with
eternal
life
assured
to
you
and
live
in
the
power
of
Christ
living
inside
of
us.
I
don't
know
how
many
of
us
need
that
reminder
or
we
need
to
be
made
aware
of
that.
There
was
a
substitute
that
stood
in
our
place.
Jesus
Christ
stood
in
my
place
on
the
cross.
That
was
my
cross.
That
was
your
cross.
That
Was
our
death
to
die.
That
was
your
death
to
die.
But
Jesus
said,
I
will
die
that
death
and
shed
every
ounce
of
my
blood
so
that
you
could
have
life
and
life
eternal.
Jesus,
he's
covering
for
us,
but
he
also
covers
us.
In
Psalms
32:1,
it
says,
Blessed
is
he
whose
transgression
is
forgiven,
whose
sin
is
covered
by
the
blood
of
the
Lamb.
Today
I
want
to
ask
this
question
to
all
of
us,
and
if
you
would,
ask
it
to
yourselves.
Do
I
live
as
someone
who
is
forgiven
and
covered?
Or
as
someone
that's
still
living
in
shame?
Do
I
live
as
someone
that
is
free
from
all
of
this?
Or
am
I
living
carrying
the
guilt
of
all
that
I
know?
And
I
think
that
guilt
and
that
shame
are
the
two
greatest
chains
that
bind
us.
But
he
shed
his
drop,
every
drop
of
blood.
It
was
not
just
smeared
on
a
doorpost,
but
it
was
sacrificed
on
the
wooden
cross,
all
of
it
on
the
hills
of
Golgotha
that
transformed
into
Calvary
so
that
you
and
I
could
know
that
we
have
a
perfect
blood
that
was
shed
for
us
to
break
off
every
chain
of
guilt
and
shame
the
Lord
keeps
impressing
on
my
heart.
Guilt
and
shame
keeps
us
bound
from
truly
living
and
truly
living
for
Him.
And
I
pray
and
I
hope
that
every
life
can
experience
a
freedom
from
these
chains
of
guilt
and
shame.
Because
God
gave
up
his
only
begotten
Son,
that
whoever
believes
in
him
would
not
perish,
but
would
have
everlasting
life.
Not
a
life
full
of
guilt
or
shame,
but
a
life
full
of
hope,
forgiveness,
joy
and
peace.
Today
when
we
partake
of
a
communion.
Now
listen,
I
know
it's
a
remembrance
and
it's
a
memorial.
And
I
know
remembering
the
sacrifice
and
the
death
on
the
cross
of
Jesus
Christ.
But
I
also
know
that
if
we
truly
understand
the
depth
of
this
sacrifice
and
this
act
of
love,
that
we
would
be
full
of
hope
and
joy
and
peace
in
our
hearts.
The
Lord
kind
of
showed
it
to
me
this
way.
If
you've
lost
a
loved
one
or
if
you've
experienced
the
loss
of
a
loved
one,
you
go
through
the
process
of
the
funeral
and
the
services
and
just
I
was
reminded
while
I
was
standing
there
and
thinking
through
this
a
year
ago,
many
in
our
church
family
and
in
recent
months
and
weeks
have
gone
through
these
moments
of
losing
a
loved
one.
And
we're
coming
up
on
a
year.
Or
past
a
year.
And
you
know
those
moments
are
going
to
be
relived
in
a
way.
But
I
was
going
through
the
moment
where
I
have
experienced
numerous
times,
whether
personally
or
with
families
ministering
to
them,
going
through
the
viewing
or
the
wake,
going
through
the
funeral,
it's
somber,
it's
sad.
Obviously
it's
natural.
Correct.
But
when
you
get
past
the
burial
at
the
cemetery,
you
go
to
the
repast
or
the
fellowship
time,
I
always
notice
there's
a
shift
in
the
atmosphere.
Yes,
there's
sadness,
but
in
the
midst
of
that
sadness,
in
the
midst
of
that
sadness,
there
is
a
little
mix
and
sprinkle
of
laughter.
Have
you
noticed
that
there
is
a
mix
of
memories
that
bring
that
come
to
your
mind
about
that
person?
I
remember
sitting
at
the
backyard
of
my
uncle's
house
last
year
with
a
bunch
of
family
members
on
that
deck
and
we
were
laughing
and
having
a
good
time
after
just
burying
our
aunt.
Well,
yeah,
after
that
service
and
I
was
sitting
back
and
how
are
we
all
laughing
here
while
we
just
came
out
of
a
funeral
service?
And
that's
not
the
only
time,
and
I
don't
think
that
will
be
the
last
time.
I
think
it's
because
while
we
miss
the
person
and
the
sadness
of
the
loss
of
that,
there
is
a
hope
and
a
joy
that
comes
in
the
memories
that
we
had
with
that
person
and
the
joy
and
hope
we
have.
Looking
forward
to
the
eternity
with
that
person.
Pay
attention
to
those
moments
now.
I
don't
know
if
you'll
pay
attention
going
forward,
but
maybe
you're
thinking,
wait
a
minute,
there
is
some
laughter,
there
is
a
little
mix
of
joy
after
those
moments.
There
is
grief,
there
are
smiles,
there
are
tears.
In
the
same
way,
I
want
all
of
us,
not
just
today,
but
when
we
partake
of
communion,
definitely
let
the
impact
of
the
sacrifice
never
be
lost.
But
let
us
not
let
it
crowd
out
the
joy
that
we
should
have.
Because
the
hope
we
have
in
Christ
Jesus,
because
there
is
a
hope
of
eternity.
There
is
a
hope
with
this
time
will
pass,
this
world
will
pass,
but
there
is
eternity
in
heaven
with
Christ
Jesus.
That
does
not
bring
me
sadness,
but
that
fills
my
heart
with
joy.
So
this
is
not
a
memorial
service.
This
is
communion
with
the
Lord
where
we
remember
the
sacrifice.
It's
okay
to
shed
a
tear
and
it's
okay
to
remember
and
have
the
weight
fill
us.
But
also
let
us
be
full
of
the
joy
of
the
Lord,
the
peace
of
God
that
should
reign
in
our
hearts
and
our
lives.
