Spring

Spring is around the corner. We have had a mild winter in this section of the country. Today is in the 60's with a small breeze. The sun is shining. It is the kind of day that makes you want to be outside, to go somewhere, to see places or do something, a light hearted day, fresh and new.

This so reminds me of redemption, when a person's sins are lifted, guilt is gone, a clear conscience with G-d. We have been forgiven, sins forgotten and everything is new, fresh, and enjoyable.

Passover is also almost here. A time to remember deliverance from hard bondage, bitter tears, separation from family. Without G-d's passover there would have been no looking forward to a better tomorrow.

The passover is symbolic of our hard bondage in sin, the bitter tears and separation from family. Without the shedding of blood is no remission. The blood of G-d's perfect lamb was shed for our iniquities.Through faith in the supreme sacrifice on Golgotha and the resurrection of the Messiah we can have new life in Him. We can be made clean, our sins forgiven and have a clear conscience with G-d, to live with Him forever.
