Our Passover Lamb


Hebrews 4:9
There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.

What if there was an appointed time for your healing?
What if there was an appointed time for your deliverance?

What if there was an appointed time for your restoration?
What if there was an appointed time for your salvation?

Well there is.  Its called PASSOVER!  IT’S CALLED THE blood!  It’s called the CROSS.

Jesus, our Passover lamb, took care of everything on that cruel, rugged cross.

Our roots, our Hebrew roots, give us stability and fruit and strength.   That’s our Hebrew roots.

There were three crosses that day.  The cross in the middle bore the one who died for our sins.  Two criminals were crucified also that day.

One asked for forgiveness and Jesus promised him a home in paradise.  The other mocked his choice and now is in a Christ-less eternity. 

So here is the question.  Do you know the one who DIED FOR SIN?

There is only ONE who has ever lived who lived a perfect life, who qualifies to die for the sin of another.  HIS name is JESUS.  Do you know Him?



Think about this:
He died willingly – He could not be made to die.
He died sacrificially – He chose to die for our benefit.

He died lovingly – He forgave us.
He died triumphantly – His resurrection brought us life.

He took our penalty for sin upon Himself.

Now!  Have you DIED TO SIN?  Is he your Lord and Savior?  Have you repented and turned away?

Consider that through faith in Jesus, His righteousness became your righteousness.

Consider that you received the Holy Spirit as proof of your own future resurrection.

You are granted access to God as His child.  And now you are free from the consequences and condemnation of sin.  O’ somebody praise Him.

If you died today, would you be one who DIED IN SIN?  You will die some day, what if it was today?  Which cross would you be hanging on?

Think about this:
We all have an appointment with death.
There is only one way to experience VICTORY over death.

If you WAIT until a later time it’s like playing Russian roulette with your soul.

Whatever is keeping you from trusting Jesus now is one of the very things He died to set you free from.
Will you confess Him as Lord?  Will you value what He did for you?

Yours for Revival,
Pastor Francis Armstrong
