Why were the Israelites safe on the night of the Passover?
Safety came through the blood on the door. As the death angel moved across Egypt and wailing sounded, the Jews stood ready to eat the Passover lamb, yet they were safe and secure because the blood marked their homes. That blood was the one reason for their protection.
Les teaches that the Jews on the night of the Passover were standing at the kitchen table ready to eat the Passover lamb while the death angel was moving and wailing was already sounding across Egypt. They were safe and secure for one reason: the blood was on the door. He also compares this to Noah and his family in the ark, who were safe amid the flood because the wooden ark had been lined with pitch, and pitch in the Hebrew meant atonement. In the same way, believers are positioned in Christ and in God, a safe and secure place.
