Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

At the Passover, it was all about the lamb. The lamb that was slain, the lamb whose blood was poured out and painted on their doors to protect them from the angel of death that passed through the land of Egypt that very night, and the lamb that was them eaten. Every year after that, God commanded the people of Israel to keep this feast. And so they did down through the generations, to Jesus' day. But something would change. The lamb would change. It would still be all about the lamb, but a new lamb, for a new Passover, and a new deliverance.
