Greetings and welcome! This is our daily devotional for October 19, 2026. Today, we continue our Exodus series in Chapter 12, where God gives instructions for observing the Passover. Beware leavening! Thanks for joining us.

This sermon examines John 13:1, highlighting the pivotal moment when Jesus recognizes that his hour has arrived to depart from the world. The teaching draws a theological parallel between the Passover Lamb in Exodus and Christ's ultimate sacrifice, emphasizing that his death provides a greater deliverance from sin than the Exodus provided from slavery. The central theme focuses on the specific, electing love of Christ for his people, distinguishing it from general compassion by rooting it in the Father's predestinatory choice before the foundation of the world. The sermon assures believers that this love is eternal and unbreakable, securing them through tribulation and into eternity, as affirmed in Romans 8. The tone is instructional and comforting, inviting listeners to rest in the certainty of Christ's keeping power and his welcoming invitation to all who come to him.

The sermon explores the theological mystery of God's eternal decrees as illustrated in the events leading up to the crucifixion. It contrasts the evil intentions of the chief priests and Judas, who sought to kill Jesus secretly, with God's sovereign purpose to redeem humanity through the Passover Lamb. By examining the Spurgeon Catechism and passages such as Psalm 2 and Genesis 50, the message affirms that while men are fully responsible for their sinful motives and actions, God overrules their evil to fulfill His good plan. The tone is both comforting to believers regarding God's control over history and convicting to those who rebel against Christ. The sermon concludes with an urgent call to repentance, urging listeners to submit to God's will and trust in Jesus for eternal blessing.

This sermon examines Exodus 12:1-6 to reveal the Passover lamb as the clearest Old Testament type of Jesus Christ. The exposition highlights how God established a new beginning for Israel, illustrating that salvation initiates a new life where Christ must be prioritized above all else. It emphasizes the sufficiency of Christ, noting that He is never too small to save any who come to Him by faith, and calls for parents to actively teach their children about this redemption. The message underscores the necessity of a spotless, sinless substitute, pointing to Jesus' perfect life and His willing death as the only means of escape from judgment. Ultimately, the sermon urges listeners to move beyond merely acknowledging Jesus as a religious figure to personally receiving Him as their own Lamb for salvation.

This sermon explores the theological foundation of the sacraments as defined in the Belgic Confession, emphasizing their necessity due to human weakness and their function as visible signs and seals of God's invisible grace. Drawing from the Passover narrative in Exodus and the certainty of God's promise in Hebrews, the message argues that baptism and the Lord's Supper are not human achievements but divine gifts that authenticate the gospel. The preacher highlights that these ordinances serve to nourish faith by connecting believers to the work of Christ, countering the notion that they are empty rituals or tests of personal righteousness. By viewing the sacraments through the lens of God's condescending love and the power of the Holy Spirit, the congregation is called to approach them with humility, awe, and a deepened trust in the unchangeable character of God's purpose.

This sermon explores the significance of Jesus declaring Himself the bread of life within the context of the Passover and the miracle of the loaves. It distinguishes between merely admiring the provision of God and actively appropriating it, using the analogy of a farmer who fails to harvest a field. The message emphasizes that Christ is the necessary, sufficient, and often despised source of spiritual life, contrasting the temporary satisfaction of worldly pleasures with the enduring fulfillment found in Him. Listeners are urged to focus on the Giver rather than the gifts, trust in Christ's work rather than their own, and take hold of Him by faith to receive everlasting life.

The feast of Passover is prophetically reflective of Jesus' death on the cross. The feast of Unleavened Bread is also prophetically reflective. We talk about the fulfillment of this feast in our time together.

This sermon explores the theological significance of the Lord's Supper by examining the context of the Upper Room meal in Matthew 26. It addresses the question of who is present at the table, emphasizing that it is for sinners who rely on the Savior, and refutes legalistic barriers to participation. The exposition clarifies the nature of the sacrament, rejecting transubstantiation in favor of the spiritual presence of Christ, and highlights the covenantal link between the Old Testament Passover and the New Testament sacrifice. The message connects the ordinance to the broader narrative of redemption, from the Garden of Eden to the future consummation of the Kingdom, encouraging believers to approach the table with faith, repentance, and gratitude for the finished work of Christ.
