We've been following God's master plan through history and we've got as far as the Passover, an incredible and pretty scarry event that points a big finger to what Jesus would do. Just click this link for some interesting stuff about this from Jews for Jesus.
These photos show some of the doors at church which we covered in paper and then painted with ....
.... red paint (not lambs blood like in the original passover, click here to read all about it from the Message Bible paraphrase).
We painted the door frames as an prayer, to show our willingness to follow God. Just like in the original passover, it wasn't enough to just be born Jewish on that night, you had to follow God's intructions if you wanted to be part of his people. The alternative just wasn't worth thinking about. Just like now, we have to make the decision to follow God, we can't rely on our parents or our family tree to do it for us.
Just like it says in John 3 verse 16
“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life" (New Living Translation).
