Now, Jesus is our Passover Lamb. And just as Israel was redeemed from bondage in Egypt, so are believers in Jesus Christ redeemed from the bondage of sin. His blood shed on the Cross of Calvary is our only protection. It reminded me of the time I dropped the collection plate. I don't remember all the details.
Memory can be very selective about certain events in our lives.
In the case of the collection plate, I don't remember if I was passing it down the pew in the big church in Cleveland where I grew up, or receiving it. I dimly recall that the plate landed upside down, and what seemed like a considerable amount of change hit the floor and scattered. As a family, we often sat near the front on Sunday morning. So it may have been that the plate wasn't very full yet when it reached us. At that point, most folks were either deep in meditation or, more likely, thinking about the Sunday pot roast.
