Read: Exodus 12:1-30; Isaiah 53; 1 Corinthians 5:7

What is the meaning of the Passover lamb? According to verses 12-13, what happened on that night when the Lord freed the Israelite slaves from Egypt?

What does it mean to you that He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows; that by His stripes (wounds) we are healed? Think about the descriptors of Isaiah 53: despised, rejected, stricken by God, smitten by Him, pierced, crushed, punished, wounded, oppressed, and afflicted, a lamb to the slaughter.

Read: Micah 6:8; Hosea 12:6; Proverbs 24:24-25; Exodus 34:6-7

What is the main teaching found in Micah 6? What does the Lord consider to be good in a person’s life? What does it mean to you to act justly according to Proverbs 24? What does it mean to you to love mercy according to Exodus 34? How do you walk humbly with your God? Are you intentionally spending time just to walk with God? Choose today to spend time with the Lord, not with a laundry list of requests. Just be quiet and be…in His presence. You may be amazed how He gives you ideas for compassion and mercy.
