CHRIST SAVES SINNERS BY HIS BLOOD

“ WHEN I SEE THE BLOOD” - EXODUS 12:13 [KJV] The apostle Paul, writing to the Corinthians said, “Christ our Passover is sacrificed for you” [I CORINTHIANS 5:7 ] . He is speaking of that type of Christ which God established in Egypt in Exodus 12 where a lamb was commanded to be slain and the blood applied to the doorposts of the Hebrews’ homes.
