The Passover Lamb

In the video, I draw powerful parallels between the ancient Israelites and the struggles of today's Black Americans. Just as the Israelites faced 400 years of oppression and slavery in Egypt, many Black Americans have endured generations of systemic injustice, poverty, and violence. I emphasize that during the time of the Exodus, many descendants of slaves had forgotten the God of their ancestors, which parallels the feelings of disconnection and doubt that has risen in our community today. Many of our people today question God's presence and favor, particularly when observing the disparities between our own lives and let's just say "other" Americans.I highlight that despite the Israelites' doubt and unbelief, God still saved them, reminding us of Romans 5:8, where it says that God loves us even while we are still sinners. This reinforces the idea that no matter the rising unbelief in our community, that God is going to save us as a people no matter what.Furthermore, I reference Revelation 12:11, which states we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. This signals that, just like our ancestors, when God sees the blood, he is going to passover us, he is going to bless us. By celebrating Passover, we honor our heritage and acknowledge the sacrifices made for our liberation, reinforcing the connection between our historical struggles and our faith journey today.Exodus 12:13 "And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you..."
