There was a day ordained in the Hebrew Scriptures, in Exodus 12, on which every Hebrew family was commanded to take a lamb home.
It really is exciting to know that it was on this very same day, when Jewish people were taking the Passover lambs to their houses, that Jesus was received into Jerusalem with Palm Branches and Hosanna – Palm Sunday.
Further, the Exodus 12:3 reads “Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household.”
This command to “Take the Lamb” can also be translated as “Receive the Lamb,” “Accept the Lamb.” This is amazing stuff, so watch this.
Redemption comes when you receive the Lamb, when you bring Him home, when you bring Jesus to the place you really live.
Far too often and far too long we have kept Him at church, in worship, and in fellowship. We never really bring Him to our marriage, to our relationships with our children and parents, the place we really live our lives.
Since redemption only comes when we take the Lamb to where we actually live, then we need to take advice from the children’s recitation, Mary had a lamb and she took it wherever she went.
Do you really want the joy and blessings of salvation?
Then bring the Lamb home – let His salvation have its way in the place you really live – in ALL the rooms/closets of your life.
Open up those long locked doors and welcome Him in – for that is what Palm Sunday is really all about.
TODAY’S MISSION – Today focus on bringing Jesus into every part of your life – especially those areas you haven’t let Him touch before.
