Reading: Exodus 12:1-13; 1 Peter 1:18-19

Devotional: The Passover lamb's blood on the doorposts wasn't about Israel's worthiness—it was about God's provision and their obedience to apply it. Salvation has always been by faith in God's appointed means, not human merit. Just as the destroying angel passed over homes marked by blood, God's judgment passes over those covered by Christ's sacrifice. You don't earn this covering through perfect performance; you receive it through faith.

The blood of Jesus speaks a better word than your failures, fears, or past. When God sees the blood applied to your life, He doesn't see your inadequacy—He sees His Son's finished work. Your standing before God depends not on your strength but on the Lamb who was slain.

Reflection Question: Are you trusting in your own goodness or in the blood of Jesus for your salvation?
