" The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many" (Matthew 20:28).
Without contradiction, we can say that Christ came to earth to die.
From the beginning of his ministry, Jesus informed his disciples to take up their cross and follow him.
He told them that unless they ate his flesh and drink his blood, they had no life in themselves.
Moses revelation of the blood is described in Exodus 12:" when I see the blood, I will pass over you"v (.13).
The blood of an innocent, and meek lamb would substitute for an entire household. Like that lamb, Christ was a gentle, humble servant who never sought the glory and exhortation from which the disciples were constantly striving.
The firstborn of Israel deserve they have just as much as Pharaoh's own firstborn.. Instead, the blood of the Lamb ransomed (paid for, bought back) their lives.
This is Christianity's focus: we deserve to die, and Christ died in our place – the" just for the unjust" (first Peter 3:18).
Rejoice today in the power of the blood of Jesus who ransom you from death!
