Happy Easter

I make a point to read the story of Jesus on the cross in the picture bible for my boys every Easter, and this year it was mainly for Hans because Judas is getting quite fermilure with it. So just to keep it interesting, I did some flash backs into the old testament to illiterate how much it shadowed the events of the cross. I was quite surprised by how many times I had to flip back

• Abraham took his son up a hill to be sacrificed, supposedly the very same hill God sacrificed Jesus.




• The children of Israel smeared their doorposts with blood so the angel of death would pass them by, today our hearts are marked by the blood of the Lamb and the evil one does not touch us.




• The children of Israel were delivered from bondage to Pharaoh as we are delivered from the power of Satan.




• King David prophesied that they would cast lots for Jesus' robe.




• The golden snake erected on the cross in the wilderness by Moses for all who needed healing was also a picture of Christ bearing our sin so we can be well.
