According
to Exodus 12:8, the children of Israel were to eat the flesh of the lamb with
unleavened bread and bitter herbs. To eat with unleavened bread means to eliminate
all sinful things. When we enjoy Christ as our Passover, we must purge away
everything sinful. At the same time, we
need to eat bitter herbs. This means that we need to regret and repent, to
experience a bitter taste regarding sinful things. When we believed in the Lord
Jesus, many of us received Him as our life supply and also gave up everything
sinful. At the same time, we experienced regret and repentance. This indicates
that we ate Christ with bitter herbs.
Exodus 12:11 says, “And this is how you shall eat it:
with your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand;
and you shall eat it in haste. It is Jehovah’s passover .” As the children of Israel were eating the passover lamb, they were like
an army. Exodus 12:51 says that the
Lord brought the children of Israel “out of the land of Egypt by their armies.”
Not many Christians today realize that they should be an army. On the contrary,
the prevailing concept seems to be that anyone who believes in the Lord Jesus should
be placed in a palanquin and carried away to heaven. However, according to the picture in the book of
Exodus, the redeemed ones applied the Passover in such a way that they could
become God’s army.
