Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and bestselling author Paul David Tripp

connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

What if one ancient meal was designed, not just to remember the past, but to secure

your present and future hope?

Today we continue our year-long Bible study in the

book of Exodus, the gospel one rescue at a time. In this episode, Paul shows how the Passover was meant

to permanently remind God's people of their total dependence on His grace and to point forward to Jesus,

the true Passover lamb and the bread of life. To hear more of these studies from Exodus,

Now here's Paul, teaching from Exodus 12.

The Passover pictured the utter complete and total dependency on Israel, on the God who had chosen to place his love on them.

So we are in Exodus 12, 14 through 20, and I have entitled this section, Passover, forever.

This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord.

Throughout your generations, as a statue forever, you shall keep it as a feast.

Seven days you shall eat on leaven bread. On the first day, you shall remove leaven out of your house.

For if anyone eats what is leaven from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut from Israel on the first day you shall hold a holy assembly on the seventh day a holy assembly

no work shall be done on those days but what everyone needs to eat that alone may be

prepared for you and you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread for on this very

day I brought your host out of the land of Egypt therefore you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread, for on this very day I brought your host out of the

land of Egypt. Therefore, you shall observe this day throughout your generations as a statute forever.

In the first month, from the 14th day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleaven bread

until the 21st day of the month at evening. For seven days, no leaven is to be found
