a lamb * the lamb * Your Lamb
“You know you were not bought and made free from sin by paying gold or silver which comes to an end. And you know you were not saved from the punishment of sin by the way of life that you were given from your early fathers. That way of life was worth nothing. 19. The blood of Christ saved you. This blood is of great worth and no amount of money can buy it. Christ was given as a lamb without sin and without spot.” 1 Peter 1:18,19 NLV
This was the tenth, and final plague God brought upon Pharaoh
and Egypt. It involved death and separation. But, for the children of Israel it involved salvation and deliverance. The shed blood of Jesus Christ is our salvation today when we believe.
