Jesus Our Passover Lamb (3 of 4)
Series: Snapshots

Exodus 11:1-7, 12:1-14
Turn in your bibles to Exodus 11. You've heard the old saying, ''A picture is worth a thousand words.'' Living in a selfie society, it's never been more evident just how enamored people are with pictures and photographs. There's a true story that came out of the Desert Storm War in 1991 about a soldier who, while he was overseas, received a heartbreaking 'Dear John' letter from his girlfriend back home in the states. Of course, he was devastated. But to add insult to injury, she wrote, ''Will you please return my favorite photograph of myself-- I need it for my engagement picture to put in the newspaper?''
The poor guy was beside himself. Not only was she breaking up with him, but she was now marrying someone else. But his fellow soldiers came to his rescue. They went throughout the entire camp and collected pictures of all the guy's girlfriends. They filled up an entire shoebox with dozens of photos, and sent it to the girl along with a note that said, ''Please find your picture, and return the rest. For the life of me, I can't remember which one you were!!'' Very creative. Not very redemptive. But very creative.
We're in this series called 'Snapshots', and we're looking at word pictures we have of Jesus Christ found in Scripture. The first week we look at Jesus Our Friend from John 15. Last week we were in Hebrews 4 that gave us the image of Jesus as Our High Priest. Next week, on Easter Sunday we will look at the royal snapshot from Revelation 1 of Jesus Our King. But today, as Good Friday approaches as we remember and celebrate the death of our Savior as a substitute for us, we want to turn our attention to the snapshot of Jesus Our Passover Lamb.
1 Corinthians 5:7-8:''Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch-as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old br ...
