8/30/11 The Old Testament lesson for this week comes from Exodus 12, which has the background of and the instructions for keeping the Passover. Each family is to take an unblemished lamb, cook it, and eat it, not leaving a single scrap left over. As I reflected on this passage, I realize that I have plenty of blemishes, some obvious and some hidden. Upon further reflection, I realized that Jesus the Lamb of God also was blemished. His body was whipped, pierced, broken, full of blemishes. Yet by his wounds, we are healed, made whole. In fact, by this sacrificial Lamb, we find ourselves forgiven and without blemish.
Love,
Lynn
