Scripture: Exodus 13:1, Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Sanctify to Me every first-born, the first offspring of every womb among the sons of Israel, both of man and beast; it belongs to Me.”
Death came to Egypt’s first born. Doubt, derision, disbelief, culminated in despair; “and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was no home where there was not someone dead.” No division of sin’s sentence between high-born or low-born, rich or poor, master or servant. No distinction between Egypt and Israel except for God’s covering sign.
Every first-born son to be sanctified from this time forward as a reminder that God alone saves.
Redemption.
“But when the fulness of time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, in order that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that you might receive the adoption as sons.”
Debt paid.
Every believer to be sanctified from new birth onward as a witness, in God’s word, in heart.
Thank you Lord for delivering each of us, male and female, Jew and Gentile, slave and free, to be one in You.
Psalm of Worship: Psalm 56:13
For Thou hast delivered my soul from death,
Indeed my feet from stumbling,
So that I may walk before God
In the light of the living.
