Christ our Passover Lamb was sacrificed for us, but His blood must be applied to our lives for us to receive its protection. Your personal testimony is the powerful tool God has given you to take the blood of Jesus and apply it to every situation you face.
In 1 Corinthians 5:7, Paul connected the Passover of the Old Testament with the crucifixion of Jesus:
“For indeed Christ [the Messiah], our Passover, was sacrificed for us.”
There is a very clear application of the Passover to the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. We can say that the Passover Lamb was killed almost twenty centuries ago, and His blood is in the basin. His blood has been shed, but the blood cannot protect us while it remains in the basin. We have to transfer the blood from the basin to the places where we live.
Under the old covenant, hyssop was used, but what do we use under the new covenant? The answer is our testimonies. Our personal testimonies take the blood out of the basin and apply it to our “houses” — to our lives, our situations, and our families. We overcome Satan when we testify personally to what the Word says the blood of Jesus does for us.
*Prayer Response
Thank You, Lord, for the blood of Jesus. I proclaim that Jesus was sacrificed for me, and I rely on His blood to make me clean and free from sin. I testify to Satan personally as to what the Word says the blood of Jesus does for me. Amen.
