Topic: From the beginning it was not so 54
Scripture: He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. (Matt 19:8)
Note: Num. 9:11-12, “The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the Passover they shall keep it.”
The beauty of the Passover feast was that every activity had a prophetic linkage to the Passover Lamb, who is Jesus Christ. Everything was a shadow of the substance to come. The blood that was sprinkled on the doorposts and lintels, signified the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross. Both cross and doorposts coming from wood or tree. The unleavened bread stands for Christ as the bread of life, and leading a life without sin, making him the only acceptable sacrifice for the redemption of humanity. Leaven stood for sin or evil, and and any partaker in leavened bread during the Passover was cut off from Israel by the death penalty.
The bitter leaves demonstrated the type of death that Christ would endure on the cross. Unimaginable suffering in cutting of the umbilical cord of sin from man right from its roots. No bone of the passover lamb being eaten shall be broken. John 19:36, “For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: Not one of his bones will be broken.”
Food for thought: Every activity of the Passover was done in haste and at the appointed time in fulfilment of Scripture. Jesus Christ is the fulfilment of the law. Salvation is for an appointed time. Be in a hurry, Jesus Christ is knocking on your door.
Declaration: Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and eat with him, and he with me. (Rev. 3:20)
