出埃及記第12章記載了逾越節的設立，以及以色列人離開埃及的開始。這章不單是以色列民族歷史的重要轉捩點，更預表了神藉著救恩拯救祂的百姓。
1. 神預備救贖的方法
神吩咐每家取一隻無殘疾的羊羔，將血塗在門框和門楣上。當滅命的使者經過時，看見血就越過那家。
屬靈教訓：
- 神的審判是真實的。
- 神也預備了得救的道路。
- 羊羔的血預表主耶穌基督的寶血。
默想經文：
「我一見這血，就越過你們去。」（出埃及記12:13）
今天我們得救，不是靠自己的善行，而是靠基督在十字架上所流的寶血。
2. 救恩需要信心與順服
以色列人必須照著神的吩咐宰羊、塗血、留在屋內。
如果有人認為這些命令沒有意義而不遵行，他便不能得著保護。
屬靈教訓：
- 真正的信心會帶來順服。
- 神的話語即使未必完全明白，也值得信靠。
很多時候我們希望先明白才順服，但神常常要求我們先憑信心跟隨祂。
3. 神記念祂的應許
神曾應許亞伯拉罕，他的後裔將離開寄居之地。到了神所定的日子，以色列人終於得釋放。
屬靈教訓：
- 神從不忘記祂的應許。
- 即使等待多年，神仍按祂的時間成就旨意。
當我們覺得禱告未蒙應允時，要記得神的時間永遠是最好的。
4. 神呼召祂的百姓離開捆綁
以色列人離開了為奴四百多年的埃及。
埃及象徵罪惡和世界的轄制。
屬靈教訓：
- 神不只是赦免我們，更要帶領我們離開罪惡。
- 基督徒得救後應過分別為聖的生活。
神呼召我們不是停留在得救的起點，而是走向祂所預備的應許之地。
5. 逾越節指向基督
新約告訴我們，逾越節的羊羔預表耶穌基督。
耶穌基督是神所預備真正的羔羊，為世人的罪被獻上。
因此，出埃及記第12章不只是歷史故事，更是福音的預告。
總結
出埃及記第12章提醒我們：
- 神是救贖的主。
- 救恩來自羔羊的血。
- 信心必須伴隨順服。
- 神必成就祂的應許。
- 耶穌基督是最終的逾越節羔羊。
我們禱告
親愛的天父，
感謝祢藉著出埃及記第12章讓我們看見祢奇妙的救恩。正如昔日祢以逾越節羊羔的血保護以色列人，今日祢也藉著主耶穌基督的寶血拯救我們脫離罪惡和死亡。
主啊，求祢幫助我們常常記念這寶貴的恩典，不倚靠自己的能力和義行，而是單單信靠祢的救恩。當我們面對人生的困難、等待和試煉時，求祢賜下信心，使我們相信祢的應許永不落空。
求祢保守我們遠離罪惡的捆綁，帶領我們走在聖潔的道路上，學習順服祢的話語。願我們的生命能見證祢的大能和慈愛，使更多人認識主耶穌基督所成就的救恩。
願祢的平安充滿我們的心，堅固我們每天跟隨祢的腳步。
奉主耶穌基督寶貴的名祈求，阿們。

Exodus chapter 12 records the establishment of the Passover and the beginning of the Israelites’ departure from Egypt. This chapter is not only a significant turning point in the history of the Israelite nation, but also foreshadows God’s salvation of His people through salvation.
1. God has prepared a method of redemption
God commanded each household to take a lamb without defect, and to smear the blood on the door frames and lintels. When the messenger of death passed by, he saw blood crossing the house.
Spiritual Lessons:
- God’s judgment is real.
- God also prepared the way to salvation.
- The blood of the lamb foreshadows the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Meditate on the scripture:
“When I saw this blood, I crossed over you.” (Exodus 12:13).
Today, we are saved not by our own good deeds, but by the precious blood of Christ shed on the cross.
2. Salvation requires faith and obedience
The Israelites had to slaughter the sheep, put on blood, and stay inside the house as God commanded.
If someone thinks these commands are meaningless and refuses to obey them, they cannot receive protection.
Spiritual Lessons:
- True faith brings obedience.
- Even if God’s word is not fully understood, it is still trustworthy.
Many times we wish to understand before we obey, but God often asks us to follow Him first by faith.
3. God remembers His promises
God had promised Abraham that his descendants would leave their place of residence. On the appointed day of God, the Israelites were finally set free.
Spiritual Lessons:
- God never forgets His promises.
- Even after waiting for many years, God still fulfills His will according to His timing.
When we feel our prayers are not answered, remember that God’s timing is always the best.
4. God calls His people to break free from bondage
The Israelites left Egypt, where they had been enslaved for over four hundred years.
Egypt symbolizes sin and the domination of the world.
Spiritual Lessons:
- God not only forgives us but also leads us away from sin.
- After being saved, Christians should live a life set apart as holy.
God calls us not to remain at the starting point of salvation, but to walk toward the promised land He has prepared.
5. The Passover points to Christ
The New Testament tells us that the Passover lamb foreshadows Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is the true Lamb prepared by God, offered for the sins of mankind.
Therefore, Exodus chapter 12 is not just a historical story, but also a foreshadowing of the gospel.
Summary
Exodus chapter 12 reminds us:
- God is the Redeemer.
- Salvation comes from the blood of the Lamb.
- Faith must be accompanied by obedience.
- God will fulfill His promises.
- Jesus Christ is the ultimate Passover Lamb.
We pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for showing us Your wonderful salvation through Exodus chapter 12. Just as in the past You protected the Israelites with the blood of the Passover lamb, today You save us from sin and death through the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Lord, please help us to always remember this precious grace, not by our own strength or righteous deeds, but simply by trusting in Your salvation. When we face life’s difficulties, waiting, and trials, please grant us faith so that we believe Your promises will never fail.
Please keep us away from the bondage of sin, lead us on the path of holiness, and learn to obey Your word. May our lives bear witness to Your power and love, so that more people may know the salvation accomplished by the Lord Jesus Christ.
May Your peace fill our hearts and strengthen us to follow Your footsteps every day.
In the precious name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen.
