Passover: The First, The Last
Promise of Passover
The blood of a lamb on the doorpost,
the blood of an unblemished lamb
on your doorpost,
the blood that drips from the crossbeams
is the sign on the house where you live –
the sign for death to pass over,
the sign for a day of remembrance,
the sign of the death of the firstborn –
of the Lamb who gave blood for your doorpost.
© 2013 Mary Harwell Sayler, poem prayer-a-phrased from today’s reading in Exodus 12

Such a beautiful story of sacrifice is the story of Passover. We are here by of the blood of the lamb, and by the blood of the lamb we shall remain.
Amen. And that's the "Good" in Good Friday. May yours be blessed.
