Summary
Exodus 12's Passover account foreshadows Jesus as the ultimate Passover lamb whose sacrificial blood saves believers from God's wrath. The sermon challenges listeners to move from standing beside or in front of the cross to standing behind it—fully surrendering to Christ as Lord rather than compartmentalizing him into one area of life.
Highlights
Only one thing works. There has to be the sacrifice of a life, but not just any life will do.
Too many of you, you're standing beside the cross. You're standing next to the cross. You want Jesus to be part of your life, but not your whole life.
There's only one place that you can stand where you will be hidden from the wrath of God. It's not beside, it's not in front, it's behind.
