GOD PREPARES A PEOPLE
.. By HIGHT E. MOORE

airs of the feast ar eoutlined: lts
future duration shall be seven
days; during this period leaveil
shall be absolutely forbidden no.
only in the bread but even IN tn ie
houses of the people; also, thcLe re
shall be holy convocations OF, tne
first and seventh days, and 10
manner of work shall be done III
them, save that which every man man
must eat" The feast was tnus
enjoined upon all future genera genera
tions of Israel. When the eiueI .
of Israel heard the message OF
the lord regarding the instltuc.
ton of the Passover, the last OF
tbe plaques, and the deliverancea
of Israel, they bowed the mead
and worshipped." AT once they
acted upon their faith, SO obeying
the divine command and making
ready for the Exodus.
THE LAMB OF GOD SAVES
THE PEOPLE OF GOD
~ The Lamb of God Was APP
pointed. Take a lamb, meek,
1uiet, innocent, submissive, un-
selfish. How gentle before the
knife! How resigned to slaugh-
ter! Is there finer type of the
Lamb of God?
(2) The Lamb of God was I'm
blemished. Who can find in him
spot or wrinkle or any such
thing? He is without defect, de-
Element, or any disability what
soever. Absolutely perfect!
(3) The Lamb of God Was
Separate. The paschal lamb
must be taken from the flock and
kept by itself four days. See the
Lamb of God separate from his
glory on high, yet separate from
our human sin which he bore, and
separate unto God!
(4) The Lamb Of God Was
Slain. See Christ on the cross
his wounds and agony, his cutlery
and heartbreak, his death-pang
and dissolution-and think OF
"the Lamb slain from the founda-
ton of the world"
60 The Lamb Of God Was
Atoning. Nothing but the blood
of the lamb could avert calamity
in Egypt. Nothing but the blood
of Jesus can avert the condemna-
ton passed upon all men.
(6) The Lamb of God is Re-
deeming. On that awful night
the death-angel entered no home
stained with Sacrificial blood. eye
were not redeemed with corrupt
ible things, as silver and gold
but with the precious blood of
Christ"
on The Lamb Of God May be
Rejected. If any Hebrew family
disobeyed divine directions, de-
clining to sacrifice and denying
the power of the blood, they fell
under the same terrible curse as
Egypt. There was no alternative.
Trust and obey, or be lost!
(8) The Lamb of God Should
be Remembered. The Passover
feast preserved through future
generations the memory of deliv-
erance from Egyptian bondage.
Said Jesus at the institution OF
the Lords Supper: "This do in
remembrance of me-"
GOLD IN THE GOLDEN TEXT
The Lord thy God hath chosen
thee to be a special people until
himself. Deuteronomy 7:6.
Gods people are they who ac-
cept him as the Lord their God.
They have renowned Satan and
repented of sin. They trust
Christ as Savior and they serve
him as Lord.
Gods people, having chosen
him, are chosen by him in his
infinite mercy and wisdom to
carry out his eternal purpose. He
selects them for special service.
He sends them to high though Of
ten hard tasks. He places them
at strategic stations. So they are
workers together with God.
Gods people are his own pos
session. They are not their own
for he has bought them with
price. He owns their health and
work because he owns them body,
mind, and spirit. They yield to
his will and use his power and do
his work. And so they show
themselves the people Of God, "a
peculiar people, Jealous of good
works"
