Exo 12:27 | MHM | STEP | v. 27 : Parents were to answer, “It is the sacrifice of the Lord ’s Passover.” They were to explain that God spared the Israelites’ firstborn when He struck down the Egyptians. The lamb was sacrificed instead of the firstborn, just as God provided a ram instead of Isaac. This yearly celebration was to remind them of God’s mercy and power. The word “Passover” means to “pass over” or “skip,” because the destroying angel passed over their houses. This was a special mercy, and they should always remember it. It also pointed forward to Jesus, the true Passover Lamb, who died so we could live (Exodus 12:27; Amos 7:8; 8:2 ; Psalm 91:7; 1 Corinthians 5:7 ). v. 27 (end) : When the people heard these instructions, they bowed their heads and worshipped. They showed respect for God’s command and were thankful for His kindness. When God gives us instructions, we should honor Him and obey with humble hearts .
