Just as Israel's life as a nation began at Passover, our lives begin when Jesus becomes our Passover Lamb. As Israel's Passover brought them together, so too does Jesus bring us (the church) together. As our Passover Lamb, Jesus encourages us to look for anyone who is excluded, look forward to communion, and be waiting and ready.

Family Worship Guide Memory Verses: James 1:2-3
Day 1: Read Exodus 12:1-2 Compare Israel's condition before Passover to our condition before conversion, and compare Israel's condition after Passover (if they followed the instructions) to our condition after we have believed in the gospel.
