Episode Synopsis

In the Passover meal, we see the building anticipation, the layering, and the rhyming of redemptive history. Passover reminded the people of God that they must be covered in the blood of the Lamb if they are to escape judgment, and that the old leaven must be purged so a fresh start can be made. Getting Israel out of Egypt proved to be much faster than getting Egypt out of Israel and so often this remains the case today. We too must be killed by God's law and brought to life by His gospel every Lord's Day. We have the solemn responsibility and the great honour to gather with His people and draw close Him. We too may struggle with a dark night of the soul, of questioning and doubting, but in due time, He comes to feed us, to strengthen us, and to finally remind us that He is ours, and that we are His.
