Deliverance is in the details. Intricate, specific, instructive, explicit words not commonly evoked when we reminisce the greatest gift of mercy given. Calvary’s requirements were not our cup to bear. We need simply just to receive its grace. The memorial of the work done on the Cross, in fact, preceded it prophetically at Passover. A day that was later instituted for the Jews to give reverence for their freedom from Egyptian bondage also pointed to the ultimate day of hallmark, for all peoples to be released from the wages of sin. 

When we revisit the most important event of Exodus with close attention, we begin to realize God had a purpose for every stipulation commanded of Moses. The particulars of Passover tend to get lost in tradition, especially when the general idea of it becomes a mere custom in our churches. 

However, this was the one miracle commanded of the Hebrews to actively participate in, so that they would escape certain death that God himself would bring. Before the blood dripped from the doorposts, the generation that would soon be liberated adhered closely to Jehovah’s every condition. 

A Revelation of Passover observes the Lord’s detailed list of orders so that this day of remembrance can be truly commemorated and never again passed over.
